Eagles Claw was a Frisbee with inward-facing seats built by Dutch manufacturer KMG that was formerly located at Lightwater Valley in Ripon, North Yorkshire, England, UK.

History

On 1 February 2021, the park announced via its website that Eagles Claw would be removed as the park repositioned itself as an attraction for younger families.^[1] Despite this announcement however, the ride continued to operate until 2024.

In February 2025, the ride was removed from the park's website.^[2] In March 2025, the ride did not appear on the 2025 map. This seemed to confirm its permanent closure with it being replaced by Spin Bug.^[3]
