The Experience

Are you ready for this thrill ride of a life time; this adrenalin packed swing has you swooping through the jungle at top speeds. Either have your friends release it or do it yourself, you can have up to three people on this adventure packed, mind blowing experience.

The Minjin Jungle Swing was designed and built in 2000 as a way for one, two or three people to experience extreme speed and acceleration together. The Minjin Jungle Swing is a multi-person Swing where you fall from 45 metres in height down to just 1 metre in 3.5 seconds reaching speeds of up to 120km/h. But don’t think this is a show ground ride – you have the control. At the top while laying horizontally you need to pull the self release to start your Swing!

(Original long description will add on to my changes) Legend has it that the Minjin used to roam these hill-slopes in the lean body of a mountain devil, a vicious cat-like creature . . . Today it roars in the shape of the Jungle Swing, at speeds of up to 100 kph.

Stainless steel cables have taken the place of animal cunning, the spotted hide has made way for hang-gliding harnesses and the evil eyes are now brightly coloured lights... gravity provides the charge, which is wild and very real!

A $3 surcharge per person will be charged to defray the cost of risk management and public liability insurance. This is payable at time of activity.

The Minjin Legend

1892 - A local bullock driver called Stan McGregor, was forging a trail from Smithfield to Kuranda during the monsoonal rains when he became stranded on a peak now known as Saddle Mountain. He was near death when he was found by a local Aboriginal tribe and nurtured back to health. Despite their warning of the dangers involved Stan left the tribe and forged on towards Kuranda never to be seen again.

1927 - A local timber cutter was felling timber on the high peaks behind Smithfield when he discovered a hideous sight, an old saddle with a scrambled message carved roughly into the leather wedged high in a rainforest tree: The message read "Something is here. Something is stalking me" – there was also a strange paw-like symbol alongside the words.

1962 - A surveyor, working in the misty rainforest peaks behind Smithfield came across remains that he believed to be bullock bones and leather harnesses, scattered underneath a rocky ledge. Not far from this evil lair, he noticed a panther like animal stalking him from the slopes above. He quickly made it to a trail that lead to a waterfall where he dived into the water and made it to safety. Since that day all attempts to find evidence of this illusive creature have failed.

1992 - While cutting trails through the Smithfield hills, Glen Jacobs, president of the local mountain bike club, discovered a strange sabre-toothed skull, which he believed to belong to the conspicuous legend. Aboriginal legend talks about a sabre-toothed rainforest cat named the Minjin, which means "mountain devil".

2000 The legend that is the "MINJIN" is uncovered and with it the symbol derived from the strange paw-like print found in 1927. The Minjin has returned to Saddle Mountain, the evil karma however has run its course and is now gone forever. The Minjin sits at the bottom of Saddle Mountain and "Screams" at speeds similar to that of a mountain cat.
