Proposed triple-chair swing for Queenstown thrill-seekers who don't bungy
A proposed triple-person swing over the Kawarau River in Queenstown will appeal to thrill-seekers who don’t want to do a bungy jump, the proposers say.
AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand has applied for consent to develop the swing at its original Kawarau Bungy Bridge site.
It would launch from a platform on the upper northern banks of the river, enabling guests to swing up to 35 metres above the river before being winched back to the platform.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
