Yeah, I agree. We just went to the park this weekend (video will be posted once I get a chance to edit it) and you really barely notice the swinging motion... it's just a fluid extension of the drop. We were sat on the side that faces the rest of the island (as opposed to the side that faces Stockholm's Old Town across the water), so I was a bit bummed about the visuals. Also, I don't know if it is because Florida is so flat or because Grona Lund has a lot of other tall stuff right around the ride, but Falcon's Fury (which we have also been on) feels MUCH higher. I will put out the disclaimer that I don't really get super pumped about drop towers... And this one is really fun... But I actually thought the drop on Fritt Fall Tilt across the midway was more intense. Regardless, this is a REALLY fun park... And taking the ferry to get there is so picturesque and enjoyable it's unreal.

I totally agree, I don't like the way it looks either... But the park already has an Intamin free fall (and tilt) tower, so it would look repetitive anyway. As we were pulling up on the ferry yesterday, I really wasn't sure which tower was Ikaros and which was the Funtime swing ride.... To add to the confusion, there is also an S&S tower. Why the park needs 4 different kinds of free fall experiences I have no idea, but to be honest I think the most intense one was Fritt Fall Tilt... Amazing! As far as Ikaros is concerned, I thought Falcon's Fury was better. Hoping to get some pictures up once we get home!
