King Claw

Meet the beast that’s about to rewrite the rules of thrill. King Claw is opening soon and it's nothing short of monstrous (in the very best way).

King Claw Lore

King Claw rises. From the depths, the urban legend has finally made landfall.

In the fog of a 1920s dock, the tide slips away and timbers start to tremble. Crates split, ropes snap, and a hush falls over Ocean Parade as something ancient stirs below the pilings. The old Claw’s crown lies rusting where the waterline used to be. Then the surface fractures. King Claw rises.


Once whispered as an urban legend, King Claw is no myth. It is what the locals fear, a relentless surge of nature and an unstoppable force rising from the depths. It swings with tidal grace and brutal momentum, lifting challengers into the sky and turning their world on its axis before dropping them back at the waterfront, breathless and wide eyed. The whispers were true. The legend lives, and it grows stronger with every encounter.

Be warned: this is KING CLAW

Soar to new heights

At a towering 27 metres, King Claw stretches over 50% higher than its predecessor, ready to send you swinging into the sky.

Feel the speed

Reaching a blistering 98 km/h, King Claw dials up the thrill—racing 50% faster than The Claw for a pulse-pounding experience.

Reach for new peaks

King Claw’s arc swings 42 metres high, soaring beyond Steel Taipan’s tallest point and reaching a whole new level of thrill.

The countdown begins

The Claw closes in January 2025, so there’s still time for one last ride—or a few! Construction on King Claw starts in February, with the King’s arrival set for late 2025.
