My two home parks are SFDK and cga because I live exactly in between the two parks I looked at good maps and their exactly the same time away from my house jus the opposite direction but I go to SFDK more for Medusa and joker
I can’t even express how amazing this ride is. Not only is the airtime unbeatable, you are EJECTED from your seat so many times. I love how the ride creeps on the lift hill and once it goes it just doesn’t slow down until the very end. It’s really an out of body experience. It’ll be extremely hard to beat as far as a thrilling ride. As far as Steel Vengeance, I love that ride too. Do I prefer Iron Gwazi? Absolutely. Does it make me like Steel Vengeance any less? Never!
YEP! I totally wasn't expecting that when I rode it. Every other rollercoaster I've been on slows down every now and then and gives you a moment to breathe before it picks back up. Nope, not this one, it's like, it has one speed after that initial drop, lol.
I took a deep breath at the top of the plunge because I’m a screamer. I screamed from the drop to the end. Omg 😱 What a terrifying thrill. Amazing though.
It's actually not as intense as looks but it is definitely disorienting - one of the craziest and insane coasters I've been on! For comparison the height requirement for this is still currently less than the SeaWorld's "family" coaster Ice Breaker that just opened (it's underwhelming but this one is quite something)
Just went on this ride today, by far unlike any ride I’ve ever experienced. There was no chance to catch your breath and not once did it slow down. The entire thing was a massive adrenaline rush and was extremely intense, by far the best coaster in the park.
My daughter and I rode it. Unlike a lot of rollercoasters I've been on, there is no place on this ride to catch a breather. It is truly non stop. My rollercoaster fiend of a daughter, who made me ride Mako 5 times in a row on a late passholder night couldn't be bothered to go again. She was shocked that much by it.
I rode it 3 times in a row all in the front row. I went on a random Monday, took a day off work for it. The park was mostly dead so I didn't have to wait much in line. It was amazing...
This is the only roller coaster I walked off of crying tears of pure joy and excitement. Never cried exiting off of a roller coaster till I rode IG. Then I got right back on 10 more times in A row and it was just as great every time
I feel you bro. Sadly I didn't get to try the coasters in America yet but I felt like that after riding Untamed in the Netherlands. RMCs are amazing. Next year we're getting a single-rail coaster by RMC and I hope they can deliver once again. :D
I’m positive this is the best RMC. From the end of the lift hill to final break run, it’s only 45 seconds long, but it just packs such a powerful punch in that amount of time and offers everything from intensity, airtime, pacing, and inversions!
Absolutely amazing. This ride makes use of every single inch of the track. You can feel that it has purpose. Amazing speed. Amazing air time. Extremely INTENSE. I love the seats. Instead of extra strapping on your upper body, they focus most of the strapping on your legs. This gives you a feeling of being part of the ride, but doesn’t take away from the air time at all. It’s hard to describe, but the physics of these seats are amazing. They also have a zipper pocket for you to place your sunglasses, etc.
This thing is SICK. One of the best coasters on the planet no doubt. I have it neck and neck with Steel Vengeance. Absolutely awesome. I have ridden it close to 100 times and I can't wait for my 1000th.
My daughter and I have ridden this coaster 5x including today. It is the best roller coaster we’ve ever been on, from start to finish it takes your breath away. Scary, fun, fast, noisy, tall!!! We love it❤
I just did this ride twice today! Once in the front row and then in the second row! It was so good! RMC did Busch Gardens Tampa good with this coaster! My dad, friend and I really enjoyed it!
Going to Florida next month for this @ VelociCoaster. This thing looks INSANE even just watching on the POV, and usually videos like this don’t do the coasters justice, so I can’t even imagine how insane this will be when I ride it in person. Can’t wait😁
I can tell you with certainty that absolutely no video could do justice on this . the air time ;constant G load the forces it puts on you constantly the speed the drop just everything
I can’t wait to go to Tampa again and go to Busch Gardens! That ride looks INSANE, and as an adrenaline junkie and a speed demon I can confirm I would absolutely ride this 10x in a row.
Grew up in central florida going to all of the theme parks. I got to go on this ride yesterday for the first time, and it’s my all-time favorite rollar coaster. Truly thrilling and INSANE! I wasn’t even sure what happened the first ride! It was such a whirlwind and flying out of your seat. It’s so fast, so fun, and I’ve just never experienced a coaster like that. Seaworlds “mako” used to my all time fav (I love air time) but Iron Gwazi is on a whole other level
This video doesn't do the coaster justice. I was rethinking my life choices about halfway up the climb, and that first drop....only coaster I've been on that tried to pull you out of the seat on the initial drop. I forgot everything I told my kids about engineering, review, design test and validation, strict maintenance, the impeccable safety record....all of it out the window. Wild ride.
O.M.G 🎢😳🙈🙈🙈🙈 I went on this a few days ago! Never ever have I ever been so scared in my life! 😢 was just horrendous to me, I came off crying! Pure scary stuff 😳
Just rode this one for the first time, in the dark, and it’s the only coaster that has ever made me just LOSE IT laughing once we got to the end from pure adrenaline. It’s such a beautifully crafted coaster!
This ride was so sick. Skipped it in the beginning of the day because it wasn't on the quick queue pass I had. Rode everything else and thought nothing was going to beat SheiKra for me just because it's so smooth, has the crazy vertical drop, and I'm a bit nostalgic for it since I rode it way back when it opened. Finally got back around to Iron Gwazi as it was my last ride before leaving. OMG it was way better than I was expecting. All the turns go just the way you want them to and everything just feels intense yet also so smooth. Just having the lap restraints really added to it and I swore the guy in front of me was going to get bucked out of his seat as he was getting serious airtime lol.
I went to Busch gardens again today with my brother and his friends and it was Rachel’s first time riding and it was so early we got on twice within 30 mins! First danial and Rachel went front while we went second and then they went back while me and my bro went second to back 👍 me and my brother were doing a no emotion challenge the second time and managed to make it through the entire thing I’m extremely proud of it even through I look dead in the photo lol
I need to ride again. It's almost too fast? Drop is amazing. Probably most negative gs I've ever experienced on a coaster over some of these bends. Super smooth. I was left somewhat puzzled at the end.
I went on this in real life and when we started going up I started to regret my life. Then we got to the drop and it was so fast It was hard for me to scream. When we came to a stop I thought my head flew off. But in the in at least I got a cool shirt and cup. “Btw that was my first time on a roller coaster”
This ride was amazing. Air time is awesome and you do NOT expect it. You get ejected so many times. over all ride was 10/10 from me. if you don’t like ejection dong ride it!
This ride was terrifying. That first drop you just keep going higher and higher like when is this stopping, then realize it’s going to drop from that high lol
I have NEVER been more proud to have this as my home park.
the most intense coaster in my home park is like 98 feet tall and 22 feet deep AKA Baron 1898
@@jappie. lucky, the closest thing to a home park i have has a forcless wooden coaster (at least its a rare S&S model) and a relocated arrow looper

It's got good ejector air but I've yet to ride a coaster that can beat El Toro for ejector air.
Felt like on the verge of death. Definitely insane ride. I’ll be back 😈
Compare to velocicoaster?
I still can't believe I went on it lol so basically at the biggest drop it feels like your in space
This doesn’t give you a chance to breathe for the 53 seconds it takes from first drop to brake run! Phenomenal!
The only chance to breathe is the zero-g stall. How many coasters can you say that about?
100% …. Constant G load on you.. Really never lets up
YEP! I totally wasn't expecting that when I rode it. Every other rollercoaster I've been on slows down every now and then and gives you a moment to breathe before it picks back up. Nope, not this one, it's like, it has one speed after that initial drop, lol.

So it’s not a good idea if you have asthma?
That barrel roll looks more intense than I ever imagined, which is really saying something
It looks even crazier at the back
They dont call it the death roll for nothing
It's soooo smooth though. It's surprising how comfortably intense that element is.
@@wisekris reminds me of those tight corkscrews on B and M Inverts. Smooth but just so much speed and vigor.

I'm here in line, and it's a very warm day, definitely hauling ass.
@@keiichimorisato98 yo, tell us how it is after u ridep
@@keiichimorisato98 how intense is it on a scale of 1-10. It looks like one of the crazier RMCs to me

This ride was literally breathtaking! After the terror of the initial drop I could not stop laughing from the endorphins. 10/10 recommend!!!
Rip George Floyd✊🏿
The speed is sneaky because of how smooth the ride is but, yes, this thing hauls ass.
Same! I couldn't stop laughing so hard 🤣🤣
I was hysterically laughing my first time riding it. Literally made my throat sore and I loved every second of it

I was the same after riding Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America. Tears streaming across my face. 😂
Super nostalgic seeing they kept the station mostly the same, brings back a lot of memories
What was the coasters named it replaced? It’s been 20 years lol scorpion? Kumba? Montu?
@@travisr3468 I hope that's a joke....
Yeah, I'm glad they kept the station intact. I always loved that thatched roof with the high pitch. It kind of gives a giant tiki hut vibe.
I’m positive this is the best RMC. From the end of the lift hill to final break run, it’s only 45 seconds long, but it just packs such a powerful punch in that amount of time and offers everything from intensity, airtime, pacing, and inversions!
night rides during summer would be a total chaos.
Howl-O-Scream all month; all night!!

It's been there for so long that the paint is already fading and the lift chain is rusting 😂
I know right... Just announced yesterday down for refurb in two weeks 😂 just kiddin but the 🌞 not
🤣
@@micmagellan5689 😂😂🤣🤣
Anything in the sun like that will happen
they probably used the chain from the old gwazi
I just did this ride twice today! Once in the front row and then in the second row! It was so good! RMC did Busch Gardens Tampa good with this coaster! My dad, friend and I really enjoyed it!
Best. Ride. Ever... So excited to have gotten the chance to ride it tonight.
The amount of sustained floater on this beast is just unmatched. You're just hovering over that second hill... It's nuts.
It's my favorite coaster of all time! It was very well laid out with no pauses. It's just fantastic!
Such an amazing ride. Rode it in the front row and it was, without question, the most amazing and intense roller coaster I have ridden in my life.
try the back too!!!
A death roll, no mid course break run, a wave turn and a short zero G roll you fly right through. Pacing wise this might be one of the best RMCs.
It literally hauls ass the entire time. Amazing ride. The death roll is amazing, on par with Kumba's.
Really gives you a feeling of a alligator snatching you and dragging you with the alligator it’s insane. Perfect theme for the hybrid coaster
I just went today! Holy moly it was an incredible ride.
It has been sitting there so long that the chain lift is literally already rusty😂
🤣
And the paint is faded. Sucks to debut a brand new 2 year old ride.
And all that time, no grass has grown under it. Hhmmmm
@@darthvader5532Yeah I can't believe that nothing has grown under it all this time🤔
@@darthvader5532 I mean it’s literally pretty close to Apollo’s chariot original paint that is so faded out.
1:13 It sounds like someone said "Woah! And vegetables! "
My word it was sensational... It's pure power Wel wort the the trip from UK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It has to be experienced. It's unreal. I love this Rollercoaster!
I would never ride this but dang- that thing is fast! The incline would be insane!
meh- It won’t kill you it really won’t hurt you… Might as well go for it
They should make you sign a waiver cuz of how intense it is 😂
I thought I was paralyzed my head snapped back so hard on the first drop. No head support whatsoever but I walked off 😄
This ride was unlike anything I’ve ever ridden. Simply amazing
That's what she said!
I finally rode it a few weeks ago and that sideways airtime you get from that waveturn by the station is totally insane. Amazing ride
Went on this yesterday, it was extremely smooth, I recommend going on this as soon as you can it's worth going on 100%
yea. it sounds smooth. smoother than the hulk at universal.
Bro it was so fun but my friend passed out 3 times it was so funny😭😭😭
I rode this 6 times today (Feb 12) for the Passport event. This is the best coaster in Florida.
Have you ridden Velocicoaster yet?
So excited to get down to Tampa in March to take a few rides on this
How was it
I got down to Tampa but I didn’t get to go to Busch gardens, it was terrible planning on my part
Favorite coaster in the park is still cheetah hunt but this was a close second. What an amazing ride.
Yes they are all phenomenal they all have their specific personalities
Going to Florida next month for this @ VelociCoaster. This thing looks INSANE even just watching on the POV, and usually videos like this don’t do the coasters justice, so I can’t even imagine how insane this will be when I ride it in person. Can’t wait😁

That wave turn under the lift looks seriously aggressive
rode this 3 times and have to say this is accurate lol easily the most aggressive part of the whole ride. IN A GOOD WAY THO. it THROWS you
It's not as aggressive as it looks. It's just fun
That thing looks really violent and a lot smoother than it was originally. Excellent.
Yeah, it's violent as hell in the best way possible.
You’re really hyping me up for this thing! I hope to ride on Sunday.
That looks fun.
Been waiting awhile for this ride to finally open! We went a Sunday for the passport event snd it is EVERYTHING and some! I absolutely loved it!!
Man iron gwazi is a crazy rollercoaster omg
I can’t wait to go to Tampa again and go to Busch Gardens! That ride looks INSANE, and as an adrenaline junkie and a speed demon I can confirm I would absolutely ride this 10x in a row.
Just rode this with my son. Holy hell this ride is insane! Fast as hell! Much smoother than the original! Highly recommend!
Yesterday I was able to get a night ride on iron gwazi and it is such an insane nightride
Imagine not riding coasters for several years and your hubs and daughter get you on one. And its this one! Yea... how am i still alive 😮

Omg so did I. It’s going to take me a minute before I psych myself up to go again
Love hearing the up stop wheels on all rmc povs
Best effing ride ever. Went on it yesterday. Mind blown
This coaster was one of the best I’ve ever rode. It really caught me off guard. I was not expecting to scream as much as I did. What a rush!

My leg was shaking when it finally slowed down lmao
CAnt wait to ride this. This has the potential to be the best coaster I been on and I been on hundreds of em
This looks intense!! I need to ride this, putting it on my bucket list
This coaster looks unreal good
Bring it bro… It certainly is

I always look up when I hit the stall. Such an amazing view! 😍
I love how it only just opened but its been there for so long the Florida sun has already ruined the colour 😂😂
went on this and the whole time it was so fast and got lifted up off my seat most of the time so fun

the view from the top is immaculate.
Top of my house 4 miles away 😎😎
Dude this was the best thing ever I loved it
Tampa native here. Rode this coaster for the first time today. It puts the original Gwazi to shame!
One of my favorite roller coaster ❤
After a couple of years in which this thing became mostly infamous for not operating, it's gratifying to see it actually wowing everyone.
Always love the Busch!
I went on this ride in April and it is so much fun! And I think there is 11 airtimes.
Went on this today wow. Best coaster in Florida
Will never forget my 8 rides I got on this on my most recent visit to the park
This is one hell of a thrilling roller coaster 🎢 ride.
I’m going on this right now and to calm my nerves I watched this video to reassure myself I will not die
Got to ride this amazing rollercoaster yesterday! It was absolutely insane
I need to ride again. It's almost too fast? Drop is amazing. Probably most negative gs I've ever experienced on a coaster over some of these bends. Super smooth. I was left somewhat puzzled at the end.
Just ride it today for the first time loved it
The visual effects of this ride are so wild!
Rode this today(4/18/22). It was incredible!
I went on this in real life and when we started going up I started to regret my life. Then we got to the drop and it was so fast It was hard for me to scream. When we came to a stop I thought my head flew off. But in the in at least I got a cool shirt and cup. “Btw that was my first time on a roller coaster”
That’s brutal for a first coaster 😮😂
This ride was amazing. Air time is awesome and you do NOT expect it. You get ejected so many times. over all ride was 10/10 from me. if you don’t like ejection dong ride it!
I wish I could go to Tampa, Florida.
I was in shock when I rode this
First time i went on this j was super scared but once you go on it its really fun and its my fav rollercoaster at busch gardens tampa
Rode this yesterday someones wig fell of and hit my friend in the face, great ride.
😂😂the visual
This reminds me of steel vengeance at cedar point and el toro at six flags great adventure
Looks tremendously awesome
Yay you finally got to ride it! Can't wait for the review. Going this Spring for my first vacation in 2 years
This ride was terrifying. That first drop you just keep going higher and higher like when is this stopping, then realize it’s going to drop from that high lol
I'M RIDING THIS ON TUESDAY!!! I'm beyond excited!
I went to Busch garden like 5 days ago and I saw this ride
I rode this roller coaster before it was scary, but it was worth it. Definitely worth it.
The best coaster ever!
Can not wait to ride this
Did this for the first and last time last week. Unreal
He loved this so much he’s posting a video
