The Claw is an Intamin Gyro Swing located at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, Australia. The ride opened in September 2004 after months of construction and advertising.〔 ==History== In April 2004, construction began on what was rumoured to be a ''Teen Market Thrill Ride'' to open later in the year. To aid in the construction, the northern end of Ocean Parade was closed off to the public forcing guests to detour through Nickelodeon Central to get to the other rides that area, including the Cyclone and the Wipeout. A few days before The Claw was officially announced on 22 July 2004, construction of the ride went vertical. The announcement detailed that the ride was going to be an Intamin Gyro Swing, a duplicate of Maelstrom at Drayton Manor in the United Kingdom. On 18 September 2004, the ride officially opened to the public〔 as the first Intamin Gyro Swing in the southern hemisphere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Rides/Thrill-Rides/The-Claw.aspx )〕 Queensland Tourism Minister, Margaret Keech, officially opened the ride. In late 2008, Dreamworld introduced Q4U, a virtual queuing system. For an additional cost, riders can pre-book a spot on the ride without having to join the queue. A special Q4U entry gate was constructed to allow guests with a device to easily enter the ride.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dreamworld.com.au/Visitor-Information/Q4U.aspx )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Claw (Dreamworld)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
