Ride Swing
How much do swinging ships cost (as in the amusement ride)?
(OPTIONAL) Would anybody know where in Australia you can buy them from?
Here are 6 companies that manufacture the ships:
1. Chance Morgan
2. Fabbri Group
3. Intamin AG
4. SDC Rides
5. Zamperla
6. HUSS
It's all going to depend on what size you need (width, height, # of seats, etc), if you want a custom ship or one that is prefabricated, and your location. If you live far away from the manufacturer, then it will cost more because they not only have to build, install, and hook up the ride, but they will have to ship it to you.
The last link I gave you has some actual used rides that are for sale and they range from 100k to 250k.

Swing sets have been around for a long time in one shape or form. The idea more than likely sprang from the older and simpler form of swing - the rope swing. A good example would be the rope swing tied to a secure tree branch that hangs over a pond or other body of water. The point was to swing out over the water while hanging on to the rope and to let go, dropping into the water. At one point of our history, tire swings were fairly popular by tying a rope around a tire and tying the other end to a tree branch so it hung above the ground.
All you had to do was sit in the tire and swing at will. Eventually the tire was eliminated and replaced by a board and even later a rubber slab with a rope tied on each end of the board or rubber slab and the other ends tied on a branch or bar secured above. It has been improved over time and has evolved to the large varieties we have today.
Schools seem to have always had them in the playground for children to play on during recess. They have been studied, analyzed and modernized for maximum safety as they can be dangerous. Many things have changed about the majority of them, especially ones preschoolers and preteens have access to. School swings are made of very solid materials, giving them maximum support with less chance of breaking and hurting a child. There have been other toys added to the standard swing, giving a variety of entertaining choices.
This would include swings with actual seats and a bar or belt that serves goes across the front and holding smaller children in place more securely. The seesaw styled toy was added that required two to ride by a pumping motion to keep it going. Then there is the basket swing that could hold two small children on each side and four altogether. On home models they added a slide on one end of the swing set for even more variety. Some still have the jungle gym bars that can be used to grab onto with your hands and make strong and healthy arm muscles. Swings have been around for so long because they continue to be fun and good for the active bodies of children and helping to strengthen them.
