The world's biggest - and highest - swing
(CBS) - It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that 229-foot vertical drop. That's how that song goes, right? Welcome to Nevis Canyon in New Zealand, home to the world's biggest swing. How big? Strap yourself in, hit play, and see for yourself.
Located in scenic Queensland, New Zealand, the Nevis swing is the largest - and highest - swing in the world. This bungee-roped beast swings in a 300-meter ark (nearly 1000-feet) and hangs a lofty 524-feet above the river on the canyon floor.
Yikes! Feeling a little dizzy? Well there's always the Nevis bungee (located right next door) for those who prefer a straight drop.
