The pendulum swing ride uses the concept of gravity and centripetal force to operate. (An object traveling in a circular motion has centripetal force- the object accelerates towards the centre of the circle.) The centripetal force acts on the pendulum swing in two different ways; it acts on the main axle, which allows the gondola to swing back and forth. Secondly, the centripetal force acts on the gondola, turning it.
Due to the forces of an object moving in a circle on a vertical plane: at the top of the circle, the force of gravity adds to the tension force coming from the centre of the circle (Fn=Fg+Ft). This makes the rider feel weightless. Similarly, at the bottom of the vertical place, gravity works opposite of tension, making the rider feel extra heavy.
