I got to see this beast in action tonight. The gondola is now spinning and they were testing a spotlight to light the face up more which looked great. I just wish the face was a lot bigger.

Is it just me or does that head on the side look incredibly tiny when you consider how big the supports are and the fact it is called King Claw? I would have thought something at least twice the size or bigger......

Intamin would have the final say on the size and weight of anything attached to the structure.

They would have designed specific mounting points with appropriate specs considering things like forces from wind, clearances around the motor/catwalk for maintenance.

Tigeren's is around the same size (possibly a little bit bigger), but it might just be a bit less flat and has matching paint on the structure to make it feel bigger.

I think most people are going to be looking at the gondola though, and the lighting on that looks great.
