The swinging apparatus includes a base, a support located above the base, a coupler disposed between the base and the support and including a universal joint, and linear actuators disposed between the base and the support. Each of the linear actuators includes a first end and a second end located on an opposing side to the first end. The first end is mechanically connected to one of the base and the support. The second end is configured to freely move touching a surface of the other of the base and the support.

A ride vehicle control system for a ride vehicle of an attraction includes multiple sensors that are configured to monitor a guest supported by the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system also includes an actuator system configured to couple to the ride vehicle. The ride vehicle control system further includes one or more processors that are configured to receive signals from the multiple sensors, wherein the signals are indicative of a position of the guest, a movement of the guest, or both. The one or more processors are also configured to determine an intended movement for the ride vehicle based on the signals and to control the actuator system to adjust a resistance to movement of the ride vehicle to facilitate the intended movement.
