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.

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.

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 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 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.

My first ride and my first RMC was the very back car a few days ago. It was an experience that was unparalleled to any first I've ridden. 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. Please do yourself a favor and ride it at night. It was a completely unhinged ride that had me screaming at the top of my lungs and laughing from the absolute insanity and reactions from other riders.

I love RMCs. I’ve experienced Zadra and Untamed for now and both rides are insane. But what I dislike is the capacity. It takes ages for the next train to get into the station and due to the complicated restraint system it’s usual for RMCs to stack trains. With restrains that open up and close automatically, a rolling station block and faster drive tires the capacity wouldn’t be an issue any more. Only Zadra had good ops, but they also had a massive crew.

I agree with you on the capacity issues. I've Done All The 3 RMC's in Europe and wildfire has the best operations out of all of them, probably because the park is always empty.

I rode the original Gwazi many times. It was really rough and painful for the most part but I rode it every time because the line was always short and I would always have some fun with it. However, I was definitely praying for this one to become an RMC when I first heard the great things about Iron Rattler.

I hope for your sake it isn't busy, but unfortunately it will most likely be PACKED. Over half of the people in the park over the first two or three months will be queued for this.

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.

RMC can do no wrong. I would probably prefer Steel Vengeance due to its length (Steel Vengeance is currently my favorite RMC out of ten) but this would easily be my second favorite. I love Lightning Rod but I doubt it beats this.

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.

Got three rides in this and I kept feeling like the whole point of the ride was to throw me off the train at all cost. ( in the best ways). It was just angry at us for daring to ride. Mind blowing ride! Loved every single element and you are correct, the wave turn is for sure the best of of them.

Thank you so much for a thorough and descriptive review of Iron Gwazi!! It looks amazing and unbelievable!!! I am so excited I'm going to get to ride it coming up in April. I was actually supposed to go to the Universal parks with my friend, but unfortunately she had to back out... Now I'm going to head to Tampa instead and rassle with Iron Gwazi!!! 🐊🎢 Stoked!!! It has been a long time coming!

Ok I love iron Gwazi. But it has one problem for me. I didn’t find its airtime to be very strong until the last 4 hills. Like they were definitely ejector, but mid tier ejector. While the end of the ride was strong, storm chaser style ejector. And I expected storm chaser ejector, but got just good ejector. I think my expectations were just a bit too high. Anyway, it’s still my number 2. The final 4 hills are insane, the wave turn has good, but not the best ejector, and the drop was phenomenal. I put velocicoaster over this because I find it has the stronger airtime. They are both still 10/10’s tho, and Gwazi is definitely better paced then velocicoaster is.

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.

Can't wait to see how it stacks up next to Zadra. Looks to have a similar focus on speed and intensity. But the stall is incredible on Zadra, one of my favourite elements of any coaster anywhere... I'll get to find out soon :)

I got 4 rides today on Iron Gwazi - front, back (most intense), and 2 middles. Have ridden Steel Vengeance, too. I'd call it a tie. You can't go wrong with any RMC. I personally prefer Velocicoaster in Florida. My 2 all-time favorites are still Fury 325 and Millennium Force.

Great review of an awesome ride! Got to ride yesterday. First ride was back row and was blown away by all the air time. Last ride was front row and I think I enjoyed the air time better in front. Restraints were great, no bruising unlike my home park RMC, Twisted Cyclone. Keep up the great work on your reviews!

Spent 4 days at halloweekends and today at busch gardens chaining gwazi and SteeVe with pretty much no queues (before the week end started at cedar point obviously). Ill say this : Gwazi when all warmed up isnt as intense as Steel Vengeance in terms of forces. It does have somehow snappier direction changes, it does have the speed yet SteeVe is a monster of a ride when fully warmed, featuring some really creative airtime elements and the near miss / weird but awesome final inversion running straight into a banked, with that airtime after the midbreak combo'd with a headchopper while going into the structure are simply unbeatable Gwazi's biggest flaw is the stall which doesnt really add much, while not a single element on SteeVe is that way SteeVe is longer, has more airtime and is more creative. Ill give It to gwazi that it has one of the most awesome inversion in any coaster (the death roll), next to the double inverted dive loop on rth. If you know you know
