Posted at 11:26 PM EDT (0326 GMT)

Sep. 12th, 2004 -- The Claw, Dreamworld's newest thrill ride, will open this upcoming weekend. Park engineers recently tested the ride and are excited about their new ride.

The Claw is a Intamin Gyro Swing, which cost $6,000,000 (AUS). The high-flying ride seats fifty riders and inverts them. The park is expecting an attendance jump due to their latest extreme ride.

I've been on a duplicate of this one. The "Sledgehammer" in Bobbejaanland (B).

I absolutely loved it, the first time I was thrown in the air with this one. Though I have to admit, I didn't notice the slight invert.
Swinging from one side to the other is something great to experience as well. When you're heading to the other side, face-first, well prepare for a lot of wind.

The swing ends up really high too. I really felt goosebumps seeing that altitude.

I love this ride...
Even though roller coasters are my kinda thing, this has to be my favourite ride at Dreamworld now, closely followed by the Giant Drop.

Again - really love this ride!
