That was from their 2012 website. It's gone on the current one. I remember it being a monster attack too.

We've all been there.

Well we don't know if he's wrong.

Themed to look like the prehistoric paw of a 3D rampaging velociraptor, The Claw propels adrenalin junkies nine storeys high, mercilessly swinging them back and forth at 64km per hour while twisting 360 degree full circles. Guests who dare to dice with the ten to two o’clock swing experience insane gravity hang time as they perch perilously close to the edge. But once they’re harnessed, there’s no escape as the floor retracts and they’re in the clutches of The Claw.

I was thinking more the lights in the targets, potential for speakers in the targets too but I doubt it. Wasn't there photos of those big silver metal tunnels before? Are they not maintenance tunnels? Afaik the tracking is in the ball but there has to be some electronic stuff in the target to register doesn't there?

Well that's a stretch if I've ever seen one

Lights, music?, Maintenance tunnels?, Electronic tracking devices? Not sure just guessing here.

I believe claw is meant to be a Velociraptor attack.

2006-2016 it had its own site and was only recently incorporated into Dreamworld.

Not sure why we're even debating this, but who says they were painted then immediately shipped?

I'd be leaning more towards "the part we need to fix it is on backorder and we aren't entirely sure when it will arrive."

Maybe they're going to do a Six Flags and rotate the rides between their parks? Could we be seeing the first signs of the changes to Scooby-Doo? SDSC goes to SW and MW gets their first indoor water slide?

The darkness maze had a lot of springy foam paddles for lack of a better word, all seemingly positioned at groin height. As one person walked past them, the next in line would get slapped by it.

Could it maybe be something like if they remove it, it won't be given approval again due to updated regulations, so they have to keep it where it is?

Is it too far fetched to think the coaster track is actually complete if they were the just leave everything else, and build the station and lift?

On a more serious note, I can really only remember well the ones I didn't like, which sucks. We all know the Darkness sucked, and getting hit in the nads wasn't fun for most guys. I can't really say I enjoyed the film vault all that much. I don't like mazes that have strobes going off right in your face though. Other than that, the majority of the mazes have been spectacular, especially in their first year under these new 2 year maze deals. I did really enjoy the original clown maze that was in either Scooby or Dodgems in the earlier years with the decapitated bunny and the wall you had to push your way though.

The Darkness.

There's some I'd love to see as precincts but I don't see them happening. (Left4Dead & The Purge). But yeah, I'll have to do some research on mazes soon and get back to you.

I don't understand your question entirely sorry. Are you meaning those ones you mentioned are what you think it might be? Assuming that's what you mean, for mazes, I'm not to sure on them at this stage, but it has given me some stuff to think about and I might have to start doing some research soon.

Very much so, yes.

So it was said the other day that all the IP is locked in for fright night now. Unless I'm mistaken, that's a lot earlier than what they've locked it in in previous years? If that's the case, they've got a lot of time to make some very kick ass mazes this year and it should be very entertaining.

Not sure why this is getting down voted. It's probably one of the most reasonable posts you've made. I'm sure the majority of members would agree they'd like the pod to go higher up the tower.

I have already posted several times what I think the ride will be.

Well dang! *picks up phone* - yeah, Six flags? Yeah, sorry, you're just gonna have to shut 'em down. Nateihendo said you just can't use those colours. https://www.sixflags.com/overtexas/attractions/catwoman-whip-0 https://www.sixflags.com/newengland/attractions/catwomans-whip
