You know those long cables suspended between two poles, upon which is attached a wheel like object from which is suspended another cable, and at the bottom of that one is a seat (or standing post)? One pulls the seat to the far edge of the horizontal (ish) cable, hops onto the seat, and rides the wheel down the curve and across the gap between the poles. The one in the playground was set up so that with a push start we could ride within two meters of the second pole (which is at a lower elevation than the first), and then turn around and riide more than halfway back before needing to drag the seat up the hill to the start spot. What are they called in American? The first time I saw one in person was in Australia, so I know only the Australian term for it. However, this is the first one I actually got to ride. They are as fun as they look.
