The £8.72 million pendulum ride, scheduled to open in 2026, will stand at 138ft high.
Aviktas will seat 40 riders and is designed to sway 120 degrees from side to side, simulating the motion of flying.
Upon its launch, the gyro swing will surpass Drayton Manor's 74ft Maelstrom as the highest in the UK.
