The s-bend dodges surrounding track at close to the ride's maximum speed.
As it was originally at Luna Park in Sydney, the coaster has a unique footprint, so as to fit in with Luna Park's other attractions.
The first drop, which takes riders to around 88km/hr.
From outside the park.
Down Main Street.
Another view of The Claw. Later on in the day, emphasis moved to preparing for the new path
The new footpath's layout can be seen. It looks like the ride's queue etc. will be directly to the right of this.
The greeny-coloured box is a transformer, with the besser block building next to it housing the ride's control systems. Some cabinets for computer and electronic equipment can be seen inside.
The remaining seats and where they are to be fixed can be seen here.
Workmen were ensuring that the arm was properly level.
This Gyro Swing is designed slightly differently from previous models. Most obvious is the design of the "spokes" - the differences can be seen when compared to the ride artwork from last week's update.
Progress creeps forward week by week. The gondola and most seats are now attached to the arm.

The new view down Main Street. The Claw will open to the public in the September holidays.
A look at the top of the structure. A platform and some further components are yet to be installed.
A closeup on the arm, where the gondola will be attached. The gondola connections will be different from previous Gyro Swings, with a more minimalist approach to it.
After the arm was in place, the rest of the day was just bringing in some of the smaller components.
Still lowering. This whole process took around ten minutes.
Inch by inch the arm was lowered.
A view of the whole site. A second crane was brought in to lower the arm to allow work to progress.
