On the plus side, there's a ferris wheel now....

Unless they've moved the MLB thing in the last year, I don't think so. As late as 2005, the MLB/ferris wheel and swings all co-existed peacefully. If I recall correctly, 2006 was the first year the swings didn't exist - and they were still there, they just had a plywood fence around them (rumor was there was some sort of safety issue with the sand in there - not stable or something). I only remember this because a friend of mine was going to Bonnaroo for the first time, and we were going to meet up; I told her to meet me at the swings, since it's easier/less of a shitshow than the fountain. Got there on Thursday, and...no swings.

Okay, then I have no memory of where the swings were.

I thought that they were kind of between That Tent and The Other Tent, closer to That.

I loved the swings and those giant tic-tac-toe games.

The were about where the Fuze barn is now. Across the road from the silent disco. You can still see them on Google Maps here:

I also miss the dearly. Sitting on the swings and listening to the late night sets in That Tent was fantastic.

I THINK it was around $7? That number is popping in my head. It went around several times though and we got some great pics of the farm.
