42-Platform Adventure
If you are vacationing in Phuket then the platform 42 at Flying Hanuman is the place to be for amazing adventure. For adventure-seekers visiting the island paradise of Phuket, Thailand, there’s no shortage of heart-pumping activities and attractions to experience. However, one stands out as an absolute must-do that provides an unmatched adrenaline rush: the Flying Hanuman 42 ride at Hanuman World.
Located within the incredible Hanuman World outdoor adventure park, Flying Hanuman is a one-of-a-kind swing ride experience that sends riders soaring high above the ground at staggering speeds. It combines the exhilarating sensations of hang gliding and skydiving into one seamless, scream-inducing package.
The Ride Experience The Flying Hanuman 42 experience begins as you’re strapped into a special swing seat that leaves you suspended horizontally in the air. As the ride begins its cycle, you’ll be hoisted upwards to an incredible height of 42 meters (138 feet) in the air, providing panoramic views overlooking the lush Phuket landscape below.
Then, without warning, the seat will release and send you whipping through the air at stomach-dropping speeds reaching upwards of 100 km/h (62 mph). You’ll careen back and forth like a dramatic pendulum swing, experiencing incredible bursts of acceleration and pretty much redefining the term “hang time” as you float weightlessly with each cycle.
The feeling of soaring at such heights and wicked speeds is nothing short of pure, unfiltered adrenaline. As your swing reaches its highest point, you’ll be treated to an unbeatable bird’s eye view of the region’s breathtaking scenery and beaches. When the swing reaches the nadir of each swing, you’ll experience an incredible feeling of freefall as your body is momentarily detached from the force of gravity.
Each riding cycle lasts approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds of relentless, scream-inducing thrills. Whether you opt to ride facing forward or backwards on the returning swing run, the experience is equally as exhilarating and intense.
Cutting-Edge Swing Technology The Flying Hanuman 42 swing ride utilizes some of the most advanced engineering and ride systems in the amusement industry. It was designed and manufactured by Skyride Technology, a company based in Switzerland that specializes in producing high-thrill, high-tech swing rides and aerial attractions.
The Flying Hanuman model has a unique two-arm, four-seat design that creates a dynamic riding experience as the seats careen both vertically and horizontally in an elongated ellipse pattern. The ride’s curved tower stands an imposing 54 meters (177 feet) tall, helping propel the seats to their maximum 42 meter swing height.
A Signature Phuket Thrill Ride When Hanuman World first opened its doors in December 2019, Flying Hanuman 42 immediately established itself as the signature, can’t-miss attraction and centerpiece thrill ride of the whole adventure park. Its awe-inspiring height and swing size make it an unmistakable landmark visible from miles around the park.
In the years since its debut, Flying Hanuman 42 has become renowned as one of the most extreme swing ride experiences found anywhere across Thailand. Its seamless blend of hang-gliding, skydiving, and pure free-fall sensations make it a bucket list addition for adrenaline junkies traveling to Phuket.
Whether you’re a roller coaster junkie, thrill ride fanatic, or just someone looking for an incredibly unique, high-octane experience, Flying Hanuman 42 needs to be at the top of your must-do list. After being strapped in and sent soaring through the Phuket skies at triple-digit speeds, you’ll never forget the mind-blowing thrill of this one-of-a-kind ride!
