King Claw - Larger Replacement Intamin Gyro Swing for Dreamworld

[TBoy]

Looks to be a new Gyro Model replacing Claw, I assume Dreamworld are the first to buy it and Intamin will put it on offer to others.

It would be great if this had a wild/soft style, one that went 120 degrees or 360 degrees, like Serpent slayer or Sledge Hammer 360 at Luna Park Sydney. I highly doubt they would get rid of the theme of the ride, and instead just replace it and keep the name etc. It makes sense with The Claw having it's 20th Birthday this year.

Thought so. Either that or the new vintage cars which we don’t have info on yet.

I’d imagine this is just a new gyro swing model with 360 degree motion because Intamin hasn’t made that yet. Goliath is excellent with the new restraints and I’m glad it’s not the zamperla model because those restraints are garbage. Is fine but dreamworld needs more rides, not 1 for 1 trades.

Imo I thought it would have been too short of a gap between 2 major capex projects (Rivertown/water ride) but the water ride will probably be the next cab off the rank in a few years.

King Claw! I like it. Could that really be the IAAPA announcement, though? With Swingi at Linnanmäki effectively being Intamin's European demonstration model of a new gen Gyro Swing, would Intamin really dedicate a press conference to showcase something similar? How different could King Claw be to warrant that compared to Swingi?

maybe the significance to the community is that they are refurbing the ride with new gondola’s which has never been seen before and is now an option to parks with outdated Intamin Gyro models. if it is a new 360° model, i hope it has a non inverting and inverting cycle, i find the hang time the inverting models offer to be uncomfortable and unpleasant.

With intamin having so many projects, I would like to doubt that they are devoting a 25min press conference for a standard gyro swing

[Tricoart]

I can’t compare ride footprints right now ‘cause I’m not at my PC, but is there any possibility that this is their announcement at IAAPA because it’s a scaled up model to the tune of Zamperla’s Giga Discovery, maybe to the point that it usurps their height record? Could a ride of that size fit nearby where the Claw currently stands, and could it match the location of the sighted markings?

I will be extremely upset if DW are replacing the Claw.  I wanted the Claw footprint, to be turned into more shaded seating.

he has to do with something about Tower of Terror  why is the station up a big long line That's emptied that goes down from the station to the  tower is empty and second there's one like this over up to date model at Ferrari World in Dubai so it has to do with Tower of  terror I'd come back  75%  I would be right it wasn't a Australia favourite ride only building or  white water ride but that would never happen then St this park

I suspect @Trevor isn't Australian. but lets be honest. Him and @WalleyWorld are both right. ToT3 - Next Generation. its going to include scooby animatronics too. And Claw becomes The Claw and is Toy Story themed just to really round that one out.

Sometimes theme parks do not want to release the real name and sometimes they use a different name as it distraction

Sometimes theme parks use a different name because they do not want to to save a real name leaked and why would there be a press conference about it

[Coppertine]

Speaking of, I wonder where @New display name got the King Claw screenshot from. Is it a trademark request?

I was correct, although it doesn't give too much information, but they at least have a new swimwear logo for their merch stores.
