A physics teacher rides the Wave Swinger ride at Hershey Park wearing a Flip Video camcorder and carrying a vertical accelerometer. You can see the accelerometer for most of the video, but it sometimes leaves the frame. You can use this video to determine the duration of the ride and the period of rotation. You can also measure acceleration.
This is the only wave swinger ive seen wehere the operator begins rotation and the lift at the same time instead of lifting the chairs off the ground first.
