Description And Comments

Originally opened as the Orange Stinger, with guests seated in swings flying around a giant citrus fruit, the ride was redone in 2009 as part of the DCA refurbishment and expansion. The new theme pays tribute to the 1935 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Band Concert, the first color Mickey cartoon released to the public, but the new effect is still the same. In the scary development, it's a wilder ride than Dumbo, but foot chop notwithstanding, SSS is still just swings going in circles. A number of tandem swings are available to allow children between 40" and 48" to ride with a parent; look for a separate tandem line to the left as you approach the attraction..

Touring Tips

This is a fun and visually appealing ride, but it's also one that loads slowly and occasions long waits unless you ride during the first hour or so the park is open. Be aware that it's possible for the swing chairs to collide when the ride comes to a stop--the author once picked up a nice bruise when an empty swing smacked him during touchdown.

Note that the line for the Single attraction is often 2-3 times longer than the Tandem line (even though there are many more Single seats in the Symphony). If you're a parent with a small child, use the Tandem line for typically shorter waits.

Silly Symphony Swings - Single Wait Times

This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Silly Symphony Swings - Single when you visit on a day with a given Disney California Adventure Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will be at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see Silly Symphony Swings - Single Wait Times.
