Guys, you may have known that Durkin's Chaos was for sale. But it also appears that the Claw is also for sale. Asking price is $285,000

Neither... And is our Claw a KMG or Tivoli? As the website says that it's a Tivoli, but I am fairly sure I have seen a KMG badge on the ride.

I don't know for sure but when the Claw first came to Oz back in 2000, staff from Durkin Amusements were interviewed by Show Radio at the RES and they said it was a Tivoli model from England.

I do hope the Claw stays in Australia as it wasn't a bad ride in my oppinion, a bit nauseating but pretty cool.

Hmmm... well then if it's a 2000 model then this is 110% the Australian unit. The only bad thing about the ride was the horrible harnesses used on the attraction. If they used the harnesses that they use on XXXL and Speed then I reckon this ride would be great.

theres a zipper on here for sale, made in the 1970, but its got a friction drive. Didnt they come out in the 1990's? or can you convert them?

Dell by the look of the photo (bottom right corner) it's not of the actual ride but straight out of the Chance catalogue. False advertising!
