Hold On to The Claw at Dreamworld–Coomera, Queensland
Have you ever heard of a Gyro Swing? Manufactured by Intamin, world pros in amusement park rides since the 1960s, the ride is scary but safe. But, that is not how one feels riding it. Designed to attract teens, the ride duplicates the Maelstrom ride at Drayton Manor in the U.K., but this one is in Australia. It rotates riders 360 degrees while swinging higher with each pass. It’s such a popular ride, fanatics book a spot in line, in advance. Long wait lines can strip this thrill of its glory, but you will remember why you waited once it fires up with you in one of the seats. Bring a vomit bag and wear a raincoat.
