Swamp Thing is a steel suspended family roller coaster at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia. It is a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster (the 342-meter model) and opened on May 10, 2003.
Riders sit in cars that hang below the track. A tire-driven lift takes the train to 48.6 feet, and the 1,122-foot course reaches 26 mph with no inversions. A ride lasts about 1 minute 30 seconds. The ride is themed to a swamp, with track that winds among cypress-style scenery near the Alapaha Trail and dips toward the park's alligator, Mr. Twister.
Riders must be between 44 and 78 inches tall.
