Mr. Starr

There's no official date yet, so keep your eyes out. Some of the Orlando forums cover it a little more in depth. Try Orlando United or Behind the Thrills. Good luck!

It has not opened yet, but they are painting a majority of the ride and rehabbing a few parts.

The Real Art Blog posted an interesting map of where they shipped out all of the prizes! Very cool!

reesaylor for me! Just leave a note or something saying you're from TPR, even though I usually accept everyone

Only a 4 minute line right now...time to play!

It might be just me, but the line seems to be moving fast! I actually missed my time and lost

The chute is pretty clogged, and it's giving out false wins again, so if you're in line hopefully they get it fixed!

I just...blew it up. Good 'ol fashioned lungs!

I haven't seen the line over 200 people for the past few days, with waits being about 2 hours, it's a great time to jump in and play!

I still think it's crazy and awesome for them to be doing this in the first place! I mean, they could've just set up an online claw machine and it would still be insane, but shipping free prizes? That's pretty cool!

Very awesome news! As for this coaster, I'm looking forward to it like I did with the original Manta!

Very cool pictures of Gwazi, it looks so new!

Oh gosh..I kinda sorta love this song

Awesome report! Glad to hear you enjoyed Gwazi -- it was my first woodie [harharhar] and I thoroughly loved it!

YouTube is also playing the commercials right after they air, for anyone interested: www.youtube.com/adblitz

I'm in line now, very cool to see some of the workers in line answering questions about the Claw!

Just won another pink ball! The live cam while you're waiting in line is a little laggy, but once you're playing it's fine. Also, it looked like the bottom of the chute was starting to get clogged, so be careful!

Awesome trip report, thanks! Looks like an absolutely amazing ship!

Looks like they're replacing the claw cam now: Santa Claw Facebook I just hopped in line at #242! EDIT: Looks like the claw cam is still down, and they've ordered a replacement. I've got 4 hours to go, hopefully it's fixed by then!

Haha, yup, it's pretty huge! Also, the Dayton area is apparently getting hit pretty hard by the storm, so the Santa Claw may be down for a while according to their Facebook: Santa Claw Facebook

Spiderman 4, I believe. Nice pictures!

Got my giant knobby ball in the mail today! [And boy, this thing is huge!]

Yeah, I try to aim a little high and that seems to work well! Thanks for the image

Oh, haha, I would've never known that was you!

Awesome to see new slide pieces on site! Can't wait for May 7th!
