I rode on Iron Gwazi last May, 2023. The video gives you no conception of how fast the carriage car is actually travelling. I have rode many of the big coasters in Florida many times, and must admit Iron Gwazi is an extremely fast ride and not for the faint hearted........!!
Absolutely hands down the best and fastest coaster in Florida. In the top 5 all time best coasters in the world. I absolutely only ride front row. Absolutely Outstanding
For sure a really amazing ride! But personally I was a little bit bigger fan of VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure. But nevertheless Iron Gwazi is still incredible and world class for sure!
Difficult to say, it depends from person to person of course, but I would say this ride has a lot of airtime moments where you feel the feeling of weightlessness. I don’t necessarily feel it on my stomach on roller coasters, but others do. But it’s a pretty intense one and that first drop is quite “wow”…
It is and that's why I'm not that big a fan of this coaster. You have no time to actually enjoy any of the elements. It's just a constant barrage of elements and then it's over. Have ridden it a few times and will ride it if it's a walk on, I wouldn't queue for it.
It’s quite fast indeed and no time to breath for sure 🤣 And yes, it’s over before you realise it maybe. That’s why I’m a much bigger fan of Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point. About the same, but feels longer.
This is easily the most relentless coaster I've ever ridden. Once you hit the drop, you belong to gravity. Some people complain that it is too short, but I believe if it were longer, with the same intensity from beginning to end, like it is now, some would grey-out like some did on Intimidator 305 when it opened.
Well, coincidentally I did Steel Vengeance yesterday and I’ve got to admit I liked that one even more than Iron Gwazi. Don’t get me wrong: Gwazi is amazing, but it’s indeed a tiny little bit too short, especially if you compare it to Steel Vengeance which is (or at least feels) a lot longer and has the same kind of unstoppable speed and power! It’s ruthless!
@@themeparks_todo While I do agree, in principle, I think if Steel Vengeance had ended after the 1st inversion post mid-course, It would've been fine, but the 2 inversions after that and the bunny hills at the end, to me mind you, were a bit too gratuitous and for me, not needed. Remove the mid-course, and I'd like it more.
This coaster flies! I've never ridden this before but it seems like the speeds make it difficult to even figure out whether or not your upside-down, right-side up or ?? I really love the spins and corkscrews added with again that speed, WOW! Now it seems like it's also a smooth ride. I'm basing/judging this on a video I'm watching on a tablet so? Anyone who's actually ridden this ride I'd love any feedback on how it rides, and how if feels. Those hills and again the speed HAS to give you some weightless feelings. I'll bet this is a top 10 coaster for many Coaster enthusiasts.
Yes! And that is very normal, as this ride is actually constructed by the same roller coaster manufacturer as Steel Vengeance. Just a different lay-out. 😁 Have you been on Steel Vengeance yet?
@@themeparks_todo yes, I have! First time I ever went upside down with only a lap restraint! To be honest, that made me the most nervous. I was hoping I wouldn't fall out! (First-time nerves, I guess!) 😂
@rebekahhesketh1220 Hahaha, I can imagine! And Steel Vengeance is already quite a spectacular one as a first time upside down coaster with a lapbar! 😲 So those nerves are definitely understandable 😆 But I’m sure the ride was amazing? I’ll be doing Cedar Point next week for the very first time. Extremely hyped for that park!
@themeparks_todo yes, Steel Vengeance was a lot of fun! But, for starters, I highly recommend Gatekeeper. It's right at the front gate, you can't miss it! For the entrance to that ride, if I recall correctly, once you're through the entrance to the park, you go to your right, and straight back. Have fun!
@rebekahhesketh1220 Oh, definitely doing all the coasters there. Three days at Cedar Point, so I will enjoy all the rides thoroughly. And thanks for the info! Gatekeeper is definitely on my to do-list! 😜
I rode this in 2022 and boy I gotta say this ride still terrifies me till this day I was so fast almost gave me a heart attack and I regret riding the front seat 😂
I prefer the old version but I can see why they created this newer experience. Thrill and danger is what sells nowadays. I'd rather admire this one from afar while i'm riding Sheikra.
I unfortunately never rode the old Gwazi, but I am a really big fan of Iron Gwazi for sure. 😁 But it’s so brutal and ruthless I get that some people think it’s a bit too much and rather like the older version.
i think this is a great coaster but my biggest gripe when I went on it was that there aren't any headrests, even though you're going really fast and upside down and down a drop only slightly shorter than mako and it really hurt my neck. the only coaster I cried out of shock after riding and I loved velocicoaster so please please take that into account if you have back or neck issues but still like coasters
My brother and dad were queuing on this but then the queue stopped because someone got injured and it was closed. Fortunately we all got infinite fast pass so we all did cheetah hunt :)
@@themeparks_todo it seems to be. I wish i could try it out. Colossus twisted is a blast. So this is like colossus on steroids then. I seen the height first thing I noticed. I really want to ride this. I never been to Florida in my life. But I would way rather ride that then some bunk Disney rides
I know the top comment is literally this but why was that guy just sitting with his hands on his lap not even gripping the side bars or putting his hands up
This is the best RMC in my opinion. The only problem is the loading and turnaround times are excruciatingly slow. During our last few visits the average to load and get a train out is about 3 minutes. That’s awful. If you’ve been on Hulk at Islands of Adventures you’ve seen how quick it can be. I bet they average a train every 60 seconds or less. They’ve got to end the double checking of the restraints and get the crews to speed it up.
Lol, you have wooden coasters, made completely out of wood (or at least mostly), you have steel roller coasters, made out of steel (obviously, lol) and you have hybrid coasters, which is a mix of both. In this case a mix of wooden supports (as this coaster used to be the wooden coaster Gwazi, but was completely altered), newer steel supports and a completely new steel track. A coaster which enters the water is a water coaster (so yeah, those exist too 😂)

Definitely true! Videos never do a roller coaster justice! And that’s for sure with Iron Gwazi too. Really fast! 🤪
Shiiiiid, it looks like it's moving hella fast to me...I almost threw up! 😵💫
😅😆
I’d actually say this is one of the few povs that give you a good idea of how much this thing is HAULING 😅
Carriage car 😂😂😂
One of the craziest coasters i ever rode...this shyt will knock your socks off 100%
Like how the person next to you is just sat with their hands in their lap like it's just a car ride lol
😅😆
LOL. I was looking like, they sure are calm.
@ladennayoung2939 Hahaha, but nevertheless still liked it.
You could do that on any coaster. They are designed to keep people safely in their place if they have fainted.
Ha, ha, yeah! 😂
This is literally a masterpiece of a roller coaster. Alan Schilke is a genius!
That's an awesome & fantastic roller coaster!
It really is! 🤩
This was my first roller coaster ride every at the age of 23. It was badass
Best gwazi pov I’ve seen by a lot. It perfectly captured the ride and what it’s like to ride it
Absolutely hands down the best and fastest coaster in Florida. In the top 5 all time best coasters in the world. I absolutely only ride front row. Absolutely Outstanding
For sure a really amazing ride! But personally I was a little bit bigger fan of VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure. But nevertheless Iron Gwazi is still incredible and world class for sure!
Velocicoaster is in Florida too yk 💀
Good at best
This this is a BEAST 😂. Rode it 9 times few weeks ago. Idk which I loved more this or Velocicoaster
The ride looks insane
It’s inane for sure! 😂

I don’t necessarily feel it on my stomach on roller coasters, but others do. But it’s a pretty intense one and that first drop is quite “wow”…
the roll at 1:16 is insane!
It really is! Such a great inversion!
the diving heartline roll!! woah!!!
Rode this in November 2023, this thang is really fckn fast, you're thrown all around there
It was two years ago today that I rode Iron Gwazi and it was absolutely bonkers!
Time to return and ride it again! 😜
Awesome video. ❤ Thanks for sharing.
The pacing is unreal
It truly is! 🤯🤩
This shit doesn't even seem to lose speed ever, kinda incredible actually.
@tripledogmlgf1411 It absolutely doesn’t! It’s incredible 😳

Yes
Hands down my favorite roller coaster in Florida had my hands up all the time and when I got off I was shaking

I had one night ride on this when i went. I had no opinion because i couldnt tell what was happening. It travels so fast.
😆😅
So nice to not have the constant screaming on a coaster for once. This ride is awesome!
It’s an amazing coaster!
That looks like a real good one!
Awesome track !
My blood pressure is high from watching this 😅😅😅
🤣
Last time I went to Busch Gardens was in 2013, I guess I need to go back there 😂
Haha yeah, a lot has changed since then!
I went on this a couple weeks ago and it’s so good
excellent pov
Thanks a lot! ☺️
Went on this today absolutely blew my fucking wig off, nothing like this in the uk! 😵💫

@@themeparks_todoi rode it twice and lost several fillings… crazy rough! Couldnt see were you were going..🔨😄
😅🤣
Wow that looks exciting ... between this and ralley drifting makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to afford those activities
How you guys are so calm
🤣
Short ride. How long did you have to wait in line for that?
We were lucky actually. Since it was a rainy day, there was not a lot of people in the park, so we only waited like 15-20 minutes maybe.
This reminds me of Wildcats Revenge at Hershey Park, great coaster!
It’s very similar indeed, as it’s from the same manufacturer. Just a different lay-out. 😁
@@themeparks_todo Ah, well that makes sense! Thanks for the video! My boys and I loved Hershey over the summer!
I really want to try it!
Fingers crossed one day you’ll be able to experience this one, as it’s really a great one! 😁
Why BGW doesn't get an RMC, I'll never know.
i think this is a great coaster but my biggest gripe when I went on it was that there aren't any headrests, even though you're going really fast and upside down and down a drop only slightly shorter than mako and it really hurt my neck. the only coaster I cried out of shock after riding and I loved velocicoaster so please please take that into account if you have back or neck issues but still like coasters
If humans had very long limps, would coasters look different to accomodate that?
Not a bad Ride, it has a least a couple inversions, that'll do!!! Thumbs Up
Dang that looks smooth. I hate rough coasters.
It’s a really smooth, but fast/intense one for sure!
So they done re did the gwazi eh? It's been a minute since I've been there that's for sure
Post-viewing: whoo buddy that thing is zippy. Too bad my back injuries keep me off coasters these days, this thing looks like a blast.
Has to be the most insane...
No brake run this is a very good ride
My brother and dad were queuing on this but then the queue stopped because someone got injured and it was closed. Fortunately we all got infinite fast pass so we all did cheetah hunt :)
lol I’m thinking of being a ride engineer idk seems pretty wild just from a physical mechanical standpoint
That is sooooo fast!!!
I rode this ride once. Never again! I almost had a heart attack
😅 It’s not for the faint-hearted indeed!
What’s the g-force on this?
Between this and Pantheon, I don’t k it which one has its way with you more.
I rode it today,it was the scariest ride ever,it is the worlds tallest,fastest and steepest roller coaster with 91 degree drop.😮😧😦😧
It literally holds none of those records, and Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point is a much better steel-wood hybrid coaster.
Reminds me of twisted colossus
It’s from the same manufacturer indeed, but Iron Gwazi is a lot higher, faster and crazier 😅
@@themeparks_todo it seems to be. I wish i could try it out. Colossus twisted is a blast. So this is like colossus on steroids then. I seen the height first thing I noticed. I really want to ride this. I never been to Florida in my life. But I would way rather ride that then some bunk Disney rides

@@themeparks_todo el toro ryan
he seems to have his arms down almost all the time.
Aaaah, hahaha, no idea. 🤷♂️😆
What makes this roller coaster a hybrid? I don't get it
Steel track and wooden supports. 😊
That thing is so high, I thought I saw the equator.
🤣🤣 Almost…almost! 😜

Hulk is one of the best coaster experiences. You're absolutely right. Start to finish, the wait time, the build up, the turnover, and the ride itself.
@@MrSfxer the only thing I don’t like about hulk, is having to go through security and that whole rental locking. After that is fine.
Personally much much much bigger fan of Iron Gwazi, since Hulk is kinda rough in my opinion. 😅
@@themeparks_todo me too as far as ride quality goes. We did notice Hulk was getting old and shaky on our visit there this year.
IG could have been the best RMC, but after the zero g stall the ride is just meh. Weakest ending for any RMC I’ve been on. 🎢
Why is it called hybrid. Was waiting for it to enter the water or something 😂

I have no clue how someone can rank this above Steel Vengeance or Velocicoaster. I just , don’t get it. Honestly , throw voyage in there as well
Agreed. Steel Vengeance is far better than Iron Gwazi for sure.
