πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Motion sickness on the cliffhanger swing ride β€” The ride is safe and mechanically swung, so motion sickness may not be an issue.
Safety on the cliffhanger swing due to minimal restraints β€” The lap bar is small but secure; it's worth the $5 fee to manage lines.
