Gold Coast, Australia

Theme Park

Today construction on the Gyro Swing took a major step with the support structure being completed. The axis of the swing will be directly through the circular sections at the apex. The major components, such as motor etc., will be attached to the main structure where the temporary white bars are currently seen near the top.

With The Claw being officially announced yesterday, it's good to see construction coming very close to completion.

This morning the gondola arm was fitted.

The Claw Dreamworld

Certainly not the biggest thing at Dreamworld, but its central location does make it visible from much of the park.

A view of the whole site. A second crane was brought in to lower the arm to allow work to progress.

Still lowering. This whole process took around ten minutes.

After the arm was in place, the rest of the day was just bringing in some of the smaller components.

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.

A look at the top of the structure. A platform and some further components are yet to be installed.

Progress creeps forward week by week. The gondola and most seats are now attached to the arm.

The Claw Dreamworld

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.

Workmen were ensuring that the arm was properly level.

The remaining seats and where they are to be fixed can be seen here.

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 new footpath's layout can be seen. It looks like the ride's queue etc. will be directly to the right of this.

Another view of The Claw. Later on in the day, emphasis moved to preparing for the new path
