These 200+ foot tall monstrosity's stand as the largest RMC's in the United States. Back when Steel Vengeance first opened, it was considered the best coaster in the world by many. Now, with Iron Gwazi open at Busch Gardens Tampa, it's got us wondering if Steel Vengeance is still king. We went around both parks and asked people which they preferred- and the answer may surprise you!

Went on a graduation trip a week ago. Was highly debating between going to Ohio and knocking out cedar point and kings island or going to Florida and doing sea world, the universal resort parks, and Busch gardens. Ended up going to Florida, and seeing this makes me feel like I made the right decision. Experiencing velocicoaster, mako, and iron gwazi for the first time all in under a week was mind-blowing.

Iron Gwazi wins if you want a more insane chaotic experience. Steel Vengeance wins if you want a feast of glorious airtime. I personally still prefer Steel Vengeance. I don't agree that IG is higher quality. I think it's just more diverse but I like the airtime more on Steel Vengeance in terms of quality and quantity and the inversions are also great as is the dizzying ride through the structure. Put another way, Iron Gwazi is like a fancy new dish at a world class Thai restaurant full of flavor and spice that everyone is raving about. Steel Vengeance is like the finest cut of Kobe beef tenderloin at the best steakhouse. Maybe I'm just hungry.

I'm still taking Steel Vengeance but just barely. It feels more out of control during the second half while going through the supports and the last zero G roll feels like it goes on forever.

I am of the opinion that both rides (along with Velocicoaster) are kind of in a league of their own. One thing that occurred to me is that Iron Gwazi really is just a more refined version of Vengeance, they took something that most considered flawless and improved on it further, both coasters are right at the top of my list, but if I had to choose, it'd be Gwazi.

@cygnus-studios Ай бұрын

Admittedly, I've never ridden Steel Vengeance. However, I can say this: There's no doubt Iron Gwazi would be a mighty tough act to follow. Without getting into too much detail, I think what struck me most about IG was the claim of "12 air time opportunities". That's BS, the ENTIRE RIDE is airtime. Riding in the rear car, other than the first hill I don't think my butt was touching the seat for more than 5 seconds from start to finish. I'm 61, been riding coasters since I was about 10, and have never experienced anywhere near the level of insanity that this ride delivers. Major kudos to the designer, pure genius!

@themeparkguyproductions 2 жыл бұрын

I would have to personally give it to Iron Gwazi. There’s an argument for both coasters as Steel Vengeance is much longer and features more airtime moments, but Iron Gwazi is intense, fast paced, and the ejector is ridiculous. Plus, I feel like the nostalgia hits better on Iron Gwazi.

I haven't ridden Iron Gwazi, but I strongly believe Steel Vengeance is a more of a masterpiece and complete ride - both from an artistic perspective and as a ride experience. By just looking at the layouts and stats on paper, it's peculiar that Iron Gwazi gets quoted in this video multiple times as being a better ride experience because it's more "intense", but there's virtually no talk at all about Steel Vengeance being the only RMC's that travels through it's own structure in such a brilliant way - with wave turns and inversions galore, the second half of Vengeance honestly makes it feel like two rides in one. This is where Vengeance shines. It's a two-part experience, which it doesn't sound like Gwazi has. I'm sure I'd absolutely love Gwazi, but for me I just can't imagine something topping Steel Vengeance. Multiple times in this video people say Vengeance is "repetitive" and I entirely disagree. It may feel that way due to "lapping" through the same geographical space three times, but each lap is entirely different. Gwazi seems like intensity through and through, but Vengeance actually has variation, so it makes no sense to say it's repetative. I think this is a great video, but was too biased towards Gwazi. There is a reason Vengeance is #1 on captaincoaster.com. That being said, my entire comment is somewhat irrelevant until I ride Gwazi myself someday lol. I just wanted to stand up for my favorite coaster. 😊 Rant over.

@greghaus 2 жыл бұрын

I got to experience Iron Gwazi last week and was fortunate to get 12 rides on it. The ride was so intense it actually made my the iPhone in my zipper pocket call 911, which was hilarious. I had to explain to the dispatch operator that I was on the brake run of a roller coaster and that I was fine, even though i couldn't reach my phone. That said, I give the slight edge to Steel Vengeance. I appreciate the extra ride time and disorienting 2nd half of the ride traveling through the massive wooden structure. Both are excellent, however.

Steel Vengeance was my #1 for four years, but it recently got dethroned by VelociCoaster. Riding that for the first time made me realize how repetitive SV is and how it mainly has one type of force, airtime. That’s not a knock at all, but I’ve discovered I like coasters that do all the forces well. VelociCoaster DOES do everything extremely well with a great variety of elements plus it’s very long, and as a bonus the theming is world class. I’ve always loved how Maverick is a jack of all trades and VelociCoaster took that concept to the next level. If Iron Gwazi is what everyone says it is, I’ll probably prefer it over SV but I’m not sure about VelociCoaster.

My last ride on SteVe was 2 weeks ago, rode Gwazi last year and both are fantastic rides. Gwazi felt more chaotic & intense which is awesome but there is something about SteVe! Fantastic long layout, love flying in and out of it’s structure and night rides are legendary! I found myself loving the elements & their placement just a tad bit more on SteVe than Gwazi. Airtime is plentiful on SteVe and if you have the pleasure of a backseat ride…it feels like a bullet leaving a gun! To be 100% honest, I never notice the MCBR so it’s never detracted from the ride for me. All in all, Busch Gardens have a hit on their hands with Iron Gwazi, definitely a fabulous ride but for me Steel Vengeance has the edge!

Give Iron Gwazi a try. I think the airtime is significantly better than it looks on POVs. That said, I think the airtime quality is still better on Steel Vengeance because it is more sustained in the first half. And the second half is just wonderful as well. But I don't buy the argument that Iron Gwazi has the better quality elements as everyone in this video seems to feel. I think the elements are just more abrupt and chaotic so people who have become accustomed to RMCs probably like it because it adds variety. But variety does not necessarily equal quality.

Iron Gwazi is way too short for me and I’dont care about repetition STEEL VENGEANCE ALL DAY!

@noclosecoasters9903 2 жыл бұрын

I like Gwazi's drop and a couple of the other elements better, but overall have to go with Steel Vengeance. When you actually think about all the elements Steeel Vengeance has to offer, it just wins for me. The different ways it delivers airtime, the inversions in the lift hill, the elements in the structure, the outerbank, they combine to make an overall better ride. I haven't gotten a night ride on IG, and have a bunch on SV, but I don't think that would change it for me.

I rode Steel Vengeance when it was still 2-3 months old. And it's been my favorite since until I rode Iron Gwazi. You're right, you come off shook. Ride is just on the edge of a near grey out the entire time haha. It feels faster than Steel Vengeance for some reason too.

Y’all are NUTS. Did multiple IG rides in April and it’s a fantastic ride, but SV redefined what a RMC can be. Rode it three times two weeks back and it’s better than ever. Perfect RMC and nearly-perfect coaster. It’s splitting hairs when you’re talking about rides of this level, but SV is a clear winner in my book.

Iron Gwazi has the better layout and better elements but Steel Vengeance is longer and has more airtime. I think it’s what you prefer that makes one of them better than the other

Coasters of this level are really hard to rank. They can change from one ride to the next. Phantom's revenge is a great example. I will go several years not riding it and it slides down my rankings but then I ride it again and it jumps into my top 10.

My wife and I happened to be in Florida when they started having the pass holder previews and had to buy the most expensive pass to ride (the only day we will be able to go this year). So we spent a ton of money just to ride IG and still think Steve is better. We just can't get past the amazing airtime on Steve. I also think Velicoaster is better than both.

I feel theyre both top 3 for sure in rmc. I think it comes down to the length of both rides, steel vengeance is longer than gwazi and thats about the only main thing it has differently. Gwazi also has the heartline death roll thingy too which is unique

@tommyguerrera 2 жыл бұрын

I’m pretty surprised at the love of Iron Gwazi over Steel Vengeance although I can see why. They’re both right there for me and it’s tough picking a favorite, but after riding them in the same week and needing to rank them, I put Steel Vengeance over for the length, airtime, and inversions. If Iron Gwazi had an extra barrel roll and longer stall maybe that would be it, but it still has a very strong collection of elements. I’ve gone back and forth before too but I think I’ll be sticking with SteVe over Gwazi for now. They’re ranked 3 and 4 out of 109 for me, granted my top 4 are pretty interchangeable but I feel good about the spots they’re in at the moment.

Iron Gwazi being in Florida where it is hot most of the year might also affect the pacing. I went to Cedar Point in June and it was cold and cloudy two of the three days that I was there. Went to Busch Gardens, same time of year, and it was one of the Hottest days of my life.

imo : SteVe > Zadra > Gwazi (I did ride SteVe trim-less at openning tho). But if you're on Gwazi team then it's probably Zadra > Gwazi > SteVe. All and all they're all insane coasters way above pretty much everything else and only personnal taste will make the "ranking" differ. Also, it's quite amazing to see how we're getting so many world-class new coasters nowadays about every single year. What a great time to be a coaster nerd :D

I was the opposite - Zadra was indeed intense and wild but stayed glass smooth throughout, whereas Hyperion was jolty in parts, which really took a lot of the fun out of it. Some strong ejector airtime in the first part though.

The way it dives into it with all those head-choppers and disorients you as you go through the inversions-- it's just right up my alley and there's nothing quite like it I've ever seen. This ride looks absolutely amazing though and I desperately want to ride it lol.

I feel like steel vengance has more personality. theres so many imfamous elements the top hat and the outer bank are so well known and the coaster just feels better themed with the western theme and queue line inside the ride. gwazi just isnt as memorable in the elements and theres less of a cohesive theme. they are both incredible though
