In today's vlog we head to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay for our first look at Iron Gwazi, Florida's newest thrill ride! Iron Gwazi is the world's fastest and steepest hybrid coaster, with a top speed of 76 mph, a 91 degree drop, highest point of 206 feet, 12 air times moments, 3 inversions and it travels more than 4,000 feet of track! We got to ride it 4 times, in the front and the back. We also got to check out the Iron Gwazi merch and the retro Gwazi merch as well (which was pretty awesome!). We had an amazing time and we hope you enjoyed riding the coaster with us! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

I was working here while they were building it and I will tell you they took great care in making sure the building of this ride would be the safest and best thing for the park for years to come. I used to ride the original Gwazi and I loved that ride with all my heart. Seeing it reimagined in this way gives me pride in having worked with this company. I can’t wait to ride it someday! Also a cute little fun fact, for the holidays as they were building it they had a large Christmas tree set up at the peak of the first drop while under construction. ❤️ Love these videos! Keep having fun and stay safe!

I MISS having the stuff scared out of me riding a coaster like this! :) I did chance both Splash Mountain and Test Track several years after the surgery, and found out, I can ONLLY do them both ONCE per week-long trip. Did Test Track twice, and was sore for DAYS!! Thank you for sharing, Tim, glad you had fun. Tears and drool - GOOD day! LOL Socially distanced hugs to the 3 of you from New Jersey.

I got the honor of riding this over 50 times over the course of 3 days. I have been on every RMC in the US and this BLEW ME AWAY.. It feels like Wonder Woman but 206 ft tall, longer and with better elements. Steel Vengeance fans, you have legit competition. I can't choose, they are both so perfect but a LOT of people were saying this is better and I understand why. It doesn't have the length of SV, but it packs a ridiculous punch. Almost all the elements are better than SV. It is more intense. It feels MUCH faster. Steel Vengeance has that awesome inner structure part after the brake run though. Probably an unpopular opinion but that is my favorite part of the ride. It is disorienting, awe inspiring, and unique to me. On the other hand, EVERY second of Iron Gwazi is awe inspiring. It's a really tough call so ride it and judge for yoursel. Both are 11/10.
