SWING ROCKET

Your guide to the Swing Rocket in Silent Hill 3's Otherworld. Learn how to use the chain to open the control room and progress past the rusted gate to find Douglas Cartland.

The Swing Rocket is one of those rides in Lakeside Amusement Park that you can't just ignore. It's a mandatory stop if you want to keep moving forward in the Otherworld. It looks a bit like a carousel, but with rocketships instead of horses. If you try to examine one of the rockets, Heather will tell you there's no time for that, which is fair enough! There's a control room nearby, but you can't get in until you've found the chain. You'll find this crucial item on the bleachers in the amphitheater. Once you have the chain, head back to the Swing Rocket. The control room door will be open. You'll need to attach one end of the chain to the center column of the ride and the other end to the handle of a large, rusted gate. This gate is blocking your path to the eastern side of the park. Before you activate the ride, check the counter opposite the control panel. You can find some handgun ammunition there. After grabbing the ammo, use the control panel to start the Swing Rocket. This will force the gate open, allowing you to proceed and find Douglas Cartland.
