5 minutes for this was the biggest steal of my life. It was so fun; the video does not do it justice. It is probably the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. You get whipped towards every direction. 76 MPH, and even though it’s a 91 degree drop, you can feel that extra 1 degree.

A great route with surprising turns, quick banking changes, and rolls with simultaneous elevation changes. If you ride in the back seat, the first drop yanks you over the crest and out of your seat. I came out of my seat at least five times during the ride. Exceptionally smooth. I’ve been on MANY coasters and this is at the top of the list. “The Beast” at Kings Island (Mason, Ohio) might still sit in P1, but this would be a close second!

Rode this coaster the day after the 4th of July this year. I've ridden many coasters in my life and with a quick queue pass I rode all of them at Busch Gardens Tampa that day. I knew it would be intense when they had me buckle in and then had a bar for my thighs and shins. No over the shoulder bar, so your arms are free. It's a smooth ride, no bouncing or being knocked side to side. Most coasters this long will give you a few seconds rest somewhere in the track. I can tell you this one does not. Once you reach the top of that first hill it's a non-stop intense ride the entire time. I enjoy coasters, but once on the IG was enough for me.

[@MrMac1138]

It's a good ride and has some nice airtime and an amazing drop. Still would rank Steel Vengeance above it as my top RMC as that ride is longer, does a lot more in a wood structure, and just feels wilder. It's just what often happens with Busch Gardens vs Cedar Point where the Cedar Point coasters always feel a bit more intense whether the precede or trail the Busch Gardens models - Raptor's compact layout makes it feel much wilder than Montu, Maverick is definitely more intense than Cheetah Hunt, Valravn is taller and does more than Sheikra, and Steel Vengeance is longer and wilder than Iron Gwazi. All those coasters listed are all GREAT but Busch Gardens usually favors slightly tamer layouts in Tampa that can be considered a bit more family friendly.

[@JohnDoe-hx9vm]

Agreed for the most part, except for Montu. Riding back left makes every element was brutally forceful and if the trim before the batwing barely hits, it feels like your feet are going to be torn off. The only invert out of the 7 I've been on to make me consistently grey out.

The only thing I didn't like about it was at the top of the lift hill, a particularly large group of brown wasps had decided to make their home there, so they were dive-bombing everyone as the trains went by. We let the ride personnel know, and they said they've got an exterminator coming later that night; if they try to deal with it now, they'd have to shut it down after just getting it open.

1) I havent ridden a coaster in over 6 years 2) that aforementioned last coaster being rip ride rockit at universal I just rode this for the first time today after an hour long wait and it was INCREDIBLE, this video doesnt do it justice. i literally felt like we were gonna get flung off the track with every invert and that first drop is insane. it was the first coaster to put actual fear in my heart today lol

[@flagirl0315]

You have to try Velocicoaster at islands of adventure in universal terrifying as hell lol. I road this one last week and was scared but that other one is still the scariest lol

[@TheDevilHydraProdsXXII]

It would have been nice if they kept the dueling function like they did with Twisted Colossus, but hey, this looks awesome

[@DSneakerTech]

Finally Rode Iron Gwazi this weekend!! All I can say is I need more Gwazi in my life!! RMC coasters are next level! And front row on Iron Gwazi is absolutely next level out of this world, nonstop speed and smooth maneuvers that literally have you constantly changing direction in every second on the ride. The drop is incredibly insane too, you literally can't see it in the front row as ironic as that sounds. Absolute 10/10 coaster, I'll be back for more Gwazi in the winter or spring, it's just too hot in the summer time 😅😂. But I'd also like to add all rides in the park were up and running, it was so awesome to ride every roller coaster in Busch Gardens. Honorable mentions, Tigres back row, montu back row, kumba front row, scorpion any row, and cobras curse was awesome. Cheetah hunt was meh to me ngl lol

[@EtaM29]

Looks great but steel vengeance is long and has more inversions and airtime so I think steel vengeance will still be one of the best

[@DameDMVATL]

My thoughts too. The only thing that stands out on this is the first drop and speed.

[@WavvyJ315]

Steel vengeance was dragged out for the air time hills. If I rob gwazi tried to compete with that they would have made a dueling rmc

[@michaelanderson2881]

Does it matter? When you come off of this one are you going to say "that was great, let's ride it again", or "that sucked, let's go to Ohio"?

[@dwaynecooper5086]

Its better trust me I rode both this way better u have 90 degree drop it to a inverter then fast and furious all the threw only one can beat this is Apollo cheriet in busch garden Williamsburg

[@MrsSimoneHill]

I’ve been to both. Gwazi is way better

[@NOTNIKOI]

This was amazing, one of the best I’ve been on

[@mynameiskrysta]

Please don’t be stabilized Please don’t be stabilized Please don’t be stabilized Edit: ok at least it’s handheld that’s fine

[@ameliaflores3074]

My baby boy Sabastian rode that yesterday. He is so brave lol I Love my brave lil man so much!

[@awhite1212]

SV is better :/

[@RobertMessenger91]

This track just runs to flat and forward it seems like compared to SV. Maybe one day I'll get to this one but for now SteVe takes the cake.

[@froakie1404]

first rmc I ever went on and I can definitely tell why people love these cuz this is easily one of my new favorite coasters

[@kmccurdy21]

Steel Vengeance was my first. Only thing with these two as our first RMCs is it don’t get much better than SteVe and Gwazi

[@troydioso7453]

Rode this shortly after it opened. This ride is on straight Beast Mode!🤘

[@ranchdressing1037]

I got the chance to right it today. And as was expected, it beat me nauseous, completely speed walking to the bathroom. The mind blowing experience of doing things a wooden shouldn't is more than the senses can handle when coupled with the insane speeds it shows off with ease. Everything is just straight whizzing by! And all that's constant is streaming tracks. Don't be afraid. Ride it once, and be part of the evolution of thrill rides. Crazy awesome footage!!

[@karlfav6446]

Insane ride. Watched this before we went on it and it still doesnt prepare you for the craziness of this thing 😂

[@kingjb404]

I just rode yesterday for the 1st time. Was incredible. The 1st drop is straight down. Really cool ride!

[@bryanmathison1754]

That is now officially a bucket list coaster for me. Wow!

[@Roberta_Esposito]

Do not hesitate do not wait… Tampa is my home this is one reason why

[@TonyM-zi9rq]

Rode this last year in November for the first time, hot lapped it two times in a row with no wait. It and VC are my top two coasters in FL.

[@robjobmann1654]

Just rode it yesterday best roller coaster I’ve ever been on

[@em1ly314]

Very... terrifying but OMG THE NOISE IT MAKES WHEN YOU GET ONTO THE COVEYER THAT PULLS YOU UP LIKE

[@kgc65player]

Rode this coaster not long ago. WOW what a ride. Way to go Bush Gardens!!! I like how you can hear the coaster getting a little air on the track in the video everytime it throws you out of your seat... 🤪🤔

[@RcPilotBrown]

Went last summer and we rode everything but Gwazi. Rode SheiKra in the rain but it started lightning before we made it to Gwazi. Can't wait to go back and ride it!
