Hydro Dynamo

The giant Hydro Dynamo swing reaches a height of around 12 metres, creating a real sense of height once you’re on board.
The swinging motion greatly accentuates the sensation of height: with every pass at the top, the feeling of emptiness beneath your feet becomes more pronounced, creating a mix of adrenaline and excitement. The experience is further enhanced by the unobstructed view of the surroundings, which amplifies the perception of height and speed.
Accessible and fun, this ride offers a good balance between thrills and enjoyment, making it ideal for experiencing the initial thrills of a swinging ride.

Yes, Hydro Dynamo is a thrill ride, but one of moderate intensity, which makes it accessible to a wide audience, including those who are not used to extreme experiences.
The thrills stem mainly from the height, the swaying motion and the gradual build-up in intensity. At its highest point, there is a distinct sense of vertigo, though it does not reach the level of a roller coaster such as Objectif Mars, which combines rapid acceleration with spinning carriages. 
Hydro Dynamo falls into an intermediate category: more impressive than a traditional family ride and less extreme than a high-thrill roller coaster. It is the ideal way to experience thrills in a gentle manner.

Hydro Dynamo can be quite a thrill, but this largely depends on each person’s sensitivity to heights and movement.

This thrill ride combines height with a gradual swing, creating a fairly pronounced sensation of vertigo as the swing’s amplitude increases. Some people therefore experience an adrenaline rush, or even a sense of apprehension, as the swing rises.

However, the movement remains smooth, with no sudden drops or inversions. The experience is therefore impressive, yet reassuring for those new to thrills, allowing you to enjoy the sensations gently.

Yes, the Hydro Dynamo giant swing is generally suitable for children, provided they meet the minimum height requirement and are accompanied in accordance with the ride’s safety rules.

Suitable for families, it offers a more intense experience than rides designed for very young children. Children who are tall enough can have a go and experience the sensation of height and gradual swinging in a supervised environment.

A minimum height of 1.05 metres is required to ensure a secure fit in the seat and optimum safety. Hydro Dynamo remains a fun family experience, ideal for sharing moderate thrills with parents.

The family-friendly thrill ride at Futuroscope is Hydro Dynamo, a giant swing that’s accessible and ideal for sharing the excitement together.

Thanks to its gradual swinging motion, Hydro Dynamo lets you experience thrills in a gentle way. The intensity builds gradually, which reassures younger children whilst offering enough excitement to appeal to adults. It is therefore an excellent family attraction, combining accessibility, fun and those first thrills.
To add variety, the park also offers more dynamic rides of varying intensity, such as Objectif Mars, Chasseurs de Tornades and Mission Bermudes, as well as calmer immersive experiences like L’Extraordinaire Voyage and La Serre des Mondes.

This makes it easy to alternate between thrills and moments of relaxation throughout the day.
As a result, a visit can easily alternate between high-adrenaline moments and quieter activities.
