    Coming from someone whos only been to florida parks, this ride is on another level entirely. This was my first time experiencing that type of wild, out of control, ejector that everyone praises on elite rides throughout the country. The only elements ive experienced the even come close are the top hat on velocicoaster and the roll on kumba, and thats reaching. This ride really feels like a triumph. The years of speculation and walking past it in the park have only made it more special to me. New #1 no question.

After that for our second ride I told him the most intense experience of Iron Gwazi is in the back row; of course I was right, and then for our third and fourth rides we went in the back row again (so basically we went in the front row for our first ride and for our second, third, and fourth rides we went in the back row).

    You know, I lost my father this weekend. He was my best friend for all of my 43 years. I'm heartbroken. That said, my dad was the kinda cat who would take my brother and I to work with him on a summer day. Then after the long drive and relatively quick check up on the plants he managed, would just be like, "screw it, wanna spend the rest of the day at Kennywood or Idlewild Park?" My love of coasters comes from him. Now I share that love with my son and daughters & park season and trip plans are my family's true joy. The word on this ride so far has me determined to grab my boy, drive 14 hours to FL just to hit BGT & this "Worldie" of a ride. Then head right back home because I gotta be back at work in 2 days. Heck maybe hit Fun Spot ATL if another certain new RMC is open to extend the father-son enthusiast time a bit more. A perfectly "irresponsible" & UNFORGETTABLE memory with the son that I can only hope to give even half the memories my father gave me. I ❤ you dad. 😥

    This is now my new favorite roller coaster! Iron Gwazi does everything Steel Vengeance does, but better. The turns are whippier, the airtime is even stronger than Steve, the wave turn is insane, and that “death roll” tries to tear you apart. Plus, IG keeps its pace from start to finish, and has zero dead spots. I even rode this ride in the back row at night, which made the experience even crazier. EDIT: VelociCoaster just dethroned this ride when I rode it this past weekend.

It just didn't stop trying to throw me from the train, and that's my favorite sensation, while doing things I had only seen in videos, so you'll have to adjust for that in judging my opinion, but it is a masterpiece.

    Great review/video! Rode it about 5 times yesterday and loved every second of it. The ride is so exhilarating and full of great moments that you could ride it a hundred times and not get bored of it. I freaking love how many ejector airtime moments it has. I was really impressed with Velocicoaster but Iron Gwazi blows it away. I can't wait to go back and take my parents to ride this thing. I'm so glad we got a coaster like this in Florida. I feel like g-force heavy coasters (like the Hulk and Montu) are a thing of the past. They're just not fun to ride when the only feeling you get is being pushed down against your seat really hard for the entire ride. It's all about speed and positive G's imo, and Iron Gwazi has that in spades! I'm thinking of getting an annual pass and trying to get 100 rides on this bad boy.

    This is the Spinal Tap coaster because it deserves an 11/10. I haven’t ridden any other RMC but this is absolutely the best coaster I’ve ever ridden. It basically tells Velocicoaster to hold its beer and then consistently attempts to destroy your soul (and your thighs too!). I screamed like a giddy child on every ride and I don’t even care. The signs in the queue say this is a “New Level” of coaster. That is an understatement. Kudos, congrats, and I know when I consistently see people who have over 1000 credits come off the thing speechless, someone has done something good. 😎

    I get to compare it to steel vengeance and man am I stoked!

    Iron Gwazi looks insane! Definitely looks like a coaster that could be better than Steel Vengeance.

    I rode this ride during spring break and BOY THIS RIDE IS FAST . i mean like i literally have nothing to say and the wave turn guys has to be my all time favorite element ever and ive ridden 672 coaster! I ride i would compare this to is to picture New Texas giant wayy taller with inversions . Without a doubt my favorite roller coaster i’ve ridden

  • @brothersofthebackrow
    @brothersofthebackrow 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Perfect review of this ride, I however didn’t notice that last drop as extreme as you did but noticed a brief extreme ejector slightly earlier in the ride too
    Hands down floridas best coaster and that’s coming from someone who loves velicoaster

    @alantrotter2077 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have 16 rides on it over the past 2 days. Great coaster! Biggest strength is the pacing on this coaster. When it is warmed up it really goes. I've been on better stallls. Wave turn is one of the 2 best on RMC's. DEath Roll is quite good. I would take Iron Rattler's first drop, but I think this drop is better than Steve's. Overall I have it as the third best RMC of the 16 I've been on, and it is currently my #3 overall coaster. A very good coaster.

  • @joshmore7175
    @joshmore7175 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Iron Gwazi is part of the evolution of RMC. Zadra and IG are like RMC 2.0. all about speed and intensity with insane airtime instead of airtime first

    • @2kthrills168
      @2kthrills168 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      THIS! I'm so glad Alan is willing to make his rides more intense. I love airtime but I prefer coasters that have a good range of forces which is something Gwazi does so well.

  • @sonimatic
    @sonimatic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I honestly think one of my gripes with a coaster can be how they handle loose articles. Thankfully Iron Gwazi effortlessly handles this with the zipper pouches under the seat. Makes a long line tolerable because you can bring your stuff with you, and then stow it away without worry.

  • @OklahomaCoasterFan
    @OklahomaCoasterFan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I wanted to go into my first rides blind, not knowing anything about the layout, so I didn't watch reviews until I rode. This might be my new favorite ride ever! It was so insanely strong, with such a great layout. I think that Twisted Timbers is the only ride I've ridden that has stronger airtime. In my rides, Twisted Timbers' trick-track-double-up was extremely strong, almost too much for even me. That might be the only ride I put above Iron Gwazi.

  • @dreams2reality410
    @dreams2reality410 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best coaster in Florida hands down. So glad they gave this coaster the rmc treatment. Rode the original Gwazi several times. It was rough after the 1st yr. Wood coasters can be awesome. Unfortunately wood coasters and FL just dont mix.

  • @markcornish6393
    @markcornish6393 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I've rode this 23 times so far.... By far the best ride in Florida... better than rides at carowinds or cedar point? Idk, never rode them. But as a local FL guy, I'm blown away. It's amazing.

    Iron Gwazi is a great masterpiece and awesome RMC to ride. I wish I can tell my parents if we can take a vacation to ride on this thing. It looks pretty fun to ride! It's also the best RMC to be replace by the original Gwazi wooden coaster.

  • @Dilo22

  • @JoeMamaLlama1234
    @JoeMamaLlama1234 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sustained intensity sustained airtime sustained positives too an rmc with positive forces that are noticeable. Plus it barely slows down there is no true break in the ride. It has everything that I love in a coaster. Mix of forces and sustained forces. I haven’t been on it but if I went on it it would be my favorite. Florida is lucky to have this ride

  • @danielflud7602
    @danielflud7602 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just went to busch gardens yesterday. Got 4 rides on iron gwazi and it is by far the craziest coaster I've ever been on. (Went to cedar point for 2 days last year but completely rained out. So no steel vengeance yet.)

  • @cavman1590

  • @coasterhockygamingboy9549

  • @lanceuppercut9715
    @lanceuppercut9715 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What I notice and love about Iron Gwazi vs other RMCs is there are no "straight" air time hills maybe except for the last one. Every airtime moment has a some sort if twist into or out if it (like the shot at the 5:00 mark) ie. Before you hit the Outer bank you're in an inner bank then twist to an outer bank(steel Vengeance is upright then banks left), before the Death Roll it rapidly changes directions, all the elements are twisty. Even Zadra has a big airtime hill in it. We might start seeing more whippy RMC hybrids alongside airtime filled ones!

  • @shawnphillips1930
    @shawnphillips1930 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have ridden steel vengeance 13 times over a two day trip. Unfortunately it was in the 50's and 60's the two days I was there. Had the opportunity to ride iron gwazi 14 times in 2 days just 2 months ago. Both days were 88 degrees or higher. Iron Gwazi ran like it was on steroids. Never have experienced a more intense ride. Went on a Monday and Tuesday. Never waited more than 15 min. and only sat in the front or back. The front is amazing but there is just something special about the back.

  • @nationalchampions
    @nationalchampions 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    I've watched a multitude of videos on Iron Gwazi and I've actually ridden Steel Vengeance several times. I agree Iron Gwazi is definitely a coaster that could be top 5 in the world possibly but I just don't see how this will be better than Steel Vengeance. Everyone has their opinion and I respect it but I'm sure after 1 year of Iron Gwazi being open the majority will still prefer Steel Vengeance over Iron Gwazi.

    • @davefroman4700

    • @kevinbhieey9188
      @kevinbhieey9188 2 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @BallinDaily24
    @BallinDaily24 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just rode this masterpiece today and easily the greatest coaster I’ve ever ridden. I’m a tall so I get sketched out putting my hands up cause I think I’m going to hit the structure. Rode this in backseat with the lap bar decently above my waist and I never felt that much airtime in my life. Haven’t rid steel vengeance yet but I think it can’t be better than Iron Gwazi.

    I've actually ridden the OG Gwazi back in 2013, I thought it was pretty fun but I do remember it being rough. I can't wait to ride this the next time my family goes on a Florida vacation, maybe it'll beat out El Toro and Steel Vengeance as my Favourite roller coaster

    • @jay-dubb.dubb.68
      @jay-dubb.dubb.68 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have ridden the original Gwazi as well, and I do remember it as being on par with the Mean Streak at Cedar Point. Quite rough and it's pretty painful, plus not too exciting. But, Iron Gwazi looks AMAZING! Looking forward to riding it in early April. I was on vacation 3 years ago I think and remembered seeing IG starting to be constructed... so I am in major major anticipation!!
