"I want to take ride on that swing."
Do we say "I don't want to ride that swing?" I am talking about the "swing" here not the rides. I think they are different right?
In AE, we do "ride" The Swings, though we might also say "go on" The Swings (or some other ride). I'm not talking about the apparatus at a park where a row of seats are independently suspended from an elevated bar and you provide the power. There, we would "swing" on the swings.
