ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Main Event Entertainment<\/a> is introducing a new attraction that lets guests step inside a life-sized claw machine, with the experience now rolling out at many locations, including in the Orlando area.<\/p>\n

The new attraction, called the Human Crane, is designed to mimic the classic arcade claw machine, but with people taking the place of the claw.<\/p>\n

Participants are fitted into a safety harness, lifted above a large prize pit and lowered down as they try to grab prizes below.<\/p>\n

Main Event says the attraction is being added to a majority of its centers nationwide as part of a broader spring break push focused on family entertainment.<\/p>\n
