The Claw, Pendulum thrill ride at Dreamworld, Gold Coast, Australia

The Claw is an Intamin Gyro Swing at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast: a long orange and yellow arm with red chevron stripes holds a rotating circular gondola ringed with 32 outward-facing seats. The arm swings riders over 240° at up to 75 km/h, and the gondola slowly rotates during the one-and-a-half-minute cycle. A grey sign reading "THE CLAW" sits on the yellow support structure.

Construction of The Claw began in April 2004, closing the northern end of Ocean Parade and forcing guests to detour through Nickelodeon Central. Announced on 22 July 2004 as an Intamin Gyro Swing duplicating Maelstrom at Drayton Manor, it opened on 18 September 2004 as the Southern Hemisphere's first Intamin Gyro Swing, inaugurated by Queensland Tourism Minister Margaret Keech. It closed in January 2025 and was replaced by King Claw, which opened on 12 December 2025.

The Claw's opening was televised on Rove Live, and competition winners became its first public riders on condition they rode naked. From 2005 to 2008 the ride appeared in the opening titles of Big Brother Australia, filmed at Dreamworld. Its slogan, "Tearing into Dreamworld", was painted on the construction fences and advertised at bus stops across the Gold Coast.

The Claw seats 32 riders in a single ring that rotates slowly during the swing, with over-the-shoulder hydraulic restraints plus a seatbelt. The cycle lasts about one and a half minutes and reaches 75 km/h as the arm swings over 240 degrees. Secure loose items before boarding.
