potentially unpopular opinion but the standard gyro swings are so much better then the 360 ones. i’d much rather airtime over uncomfortable hang time.

Also if it doesn't go upside down, it means you get airtime at the top of the swing. It's the flat ride equivalent of this versus this:

I’m glad it doesn’t complete a full invert because I don’t think the park needs a ride that does that. It has Seprent Slayer and Tailspin as their inverting rides. King Claw will have enough speed and forces that inverting would probably be too much for most guests and would make the investment not worth while. I don’t know if this is currently the case, but I’m fairly sure Luna Parks model was having issues and couldn’t do the inversion for some time???

I think the idea that 'it goes upside down' is quite polarising, and is where a lot of people draw the line on riding. Claw was popular enough over 20 years, this is the upgrade they needed to keep it going. I don't think it needs 360 to sell it - the sheer size comparison to Claw will be enough I think.

These photos from @Theme Park Girl show how it’s being installed and what it’s connecting too
