I can’t wait to ride again! 😂

Hey 👋 Sam hopefully you’re doing well guess what grant nicholas saw my Facebook messenger and he said happy birthday 🎉🎁🎈🎊🎂 🎁to me.

That’s you?!

[@EastCoasters]

The death roll, the wave turn, the drop in the back, the off axis airtime. Speechless, my number 1 ride.🥃

[@Billyvan21]

That drop was insane from the front row prospective! I found myself holding onto my chair's arm rest when you guys started going down lol. I have to give Sam some credit for riding Iron Gwazi 6 times, once or twice would be the limit for me! Great job capturing the ride experience and the beautiful exterior of the coaster!

[@SuperEnthused]

It was soooo intense and my knees shake just thinking about it!!! Two times was my max or I would have gotten too dizzy, but some rode it over 20 times that day! I’m jealous of pl who can do that without getting dizzy!!

[@jennaandreadabao4434]

Try my best fastest ice breaker is my New ride it is a thrill cream it out had some fun with Sam that icey is my cool off time try my best favorite drink some coffee ☕☕ relaxing this is Jenna Dabao so it for me had fun

[@AJ17_]

I rode it 3 times on media day and another 12 or 13 times last week at the Passport to Thrills event. After the last ride, my stomach couldn't take anymore for the day. But it was so worth it and I can say I've sat in every row.

[@TravelandFoodieWarriors]

YES! It was super insane. When you look down and the drop curves in you know its going to be one heck of a ride! LOL!

[@brrrrharrr]

For some reason the gator themeing didn't click in my mind until I saw the front of the train. I thought i was snake themed or something. Gator is so fitting with all the rolls. Happy this is finally open EDIT: CROC THEMED****

[@Notepad37]

I think the 540 degree roll is even called the death roll

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Fun fact sand serpent used to be called cheetah chase but they changed it because of cheetah hunt so they wouldn't theme it to snakes since sand serpent was still at the park

[@kacy8094]

That coaster reminds me of Colossus at Six Flags in California. It’s now called Twisted Colossus. For reference it the coaster at the end of the original Vacation movie.

[@stephaniefeldhaus6508]

Jackie you didn't scream loud enough going down that first insane drop! You would have heard me back at Universal Orlando!

[@larry1819]

The 8:20 appears to be the best moment in roller coaster history. After seeing all the reactions from people who ride roller coasters for a living - are we even sure normal people should ride this thing? :D

[@SuperEnthused]

That roll is absolutely bonkers!!!

[@michaelmedlen784]

heart rate up----CHECK-wow what a ride.

[@JustOutnAbout]

Awesome coverage as always!!! Loved seeing yours and Sam's reaction. Was this your first RMC coaster? They are wild!! My fave ones so I can't wait when I get back for this one! ~Dawn

[@whodatpat504]

Holy crap!! That looked so intense!! 💪🏼

[@everon344]

Sam: “My shirt nearly came off.” I think that would just about sum it all up. Lol

[@SuperEnthused]

😂😂😂 I felt like my being nearly flew out my body!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

COASTIN' with America's sweethearts

[@eric_in_florida]

Great job on the editing Jackie, mixing the POV with a distant view! Looks scary I think I'll sit that one out lol

[@Savagemister]

You need to come ride the OG RMC at SFOT. New Texas Giant

[@SuperEnthused]

I know I need to so bad, everyone talks about it! Bummer they don’t allow filming on it tho right? So I will def ride but won’t be able to share it.

[@Savagemister]

@@SuperEnthused right and that sucks. I've recorded pov with camera glasses, but no, you won't be allowed to strap a camera on your hand like at Sea World. I hate how strict 6 flags is with their camera policy.

[@Doktor_Calamari]

So many people say that Iron Gwazi made their eyes water... Would those be CROCODILE TEARS? 😉

[@SuperEnthused]

lol!! But honestly, that happened more in the front row and it's because you're catching ALLLLL the wind! In other rows, it wasn't as bad!

[@Doktor_Calamari]

@@SuperEnthused New merch idea: GWAZI GOGGLES!

[@SuperEnthused]

@@Doktor_Calamari dude for real though... THAT'S GENIUS!!!!

[@thundercat8601]

I may not know what a “Gwazi” actually is, but that coaster looks like a blast! So glad you could preview it for us.

[@bbalvarado2087]

Love your travel amusement park contents always exciting!! Also love those green sunglasses, been following you for awhile so cool you still have them! I would have lost it by now. No one wears them as well as you, it has become a Jackie icon! Lol

[@AzrallDRG]

Awesome video! I can't wait to ride it myself. The original Gwazi hold's a special place in my heart as it was one of my late Grandfather's favourites. He would have loved this without a doubt. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face! :)

[@SuperEnthused]

What a precious memory, and it will be cool for you to see the nods to the original Gwazi they’ve left in.

[@liliherndz5792]

HAPPY to SEE YOU with SAM 👏👏🤩👏👏 …ENJOY and stay HEALTHY & SAFE

[@SuperEnthused]

Lili! 💕💕💕

[@lindatannock]

I can't wait to ride this, but I can't lie, I'm a bit scared of it! Lol. I just wish there were proper handles to hold onto. I love Sheikra, but the height going up really gets to me. Once it drops I'm fine! It's an amazing ride. Montu is probably my fave though, and the "grey out" moments are crazy. It's so intense! 👏🏻 Busch is definitely one of my favourite parks, and they're really disability friendly. I always have an amazing time there 😊💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheTenuredPassholder]

I can’t wait to ride this! If all my plans fall into place, I should be able to make a stop for this in Tampa this Sunday for the start of passholder previews!

[@SuperEnthused]

Ahh perfect! I hope it all falls into place!

[@Hubbard1951]

Since I am no longer pleased with Disney's attitude regarding life long fans, I have instructed my employees to no longer entertain customers at any Disney attraction. Because many of our overseas customers bring their children with them we are on a endless search to find alternatives that a family will enjoy "together". Thank you, thank you, thank you for this report, haven't been to Busch Gardens for nearly 30 years, I have diverted my return flight to Tampa/St. Petersburg and will check out the park this Sunday. This looks very promising!

[@masters1313]

THANKS Jackie... Sam & Dan for showing the intense enjoyment riding Iron Gwazi ! Truly an awesome exciting vlog...........

[@Fryinpansvols]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! We will be coming to Tampa Bay & Busch Gardens in October. Iron Gwazi is definitely on the list.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

This is my new favorite coaster. It is amazing.

[@SuperEnthused]

Awesome!!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

@@SuperEnthused by the way, I’m a huge fan of your work!

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

This ride looks amazing. I'm right outside of Philly and am going to Florida late next month but sadly probably won't get to go because I'll have a lot of family around and it's over an hour from where we're staying. I will get there sometime this year though!

[@greggregg4852]

wow, Jackie! you are becoming quite the professional at the video editing game! great job!!

[@medea27]

Awesome video! I love that you've covered more of the whole ride experience rather than just the coaster itself.... it's always fun to know about the little Easter egg references & some history of the ride. And explaining the seat & restraint was great too.... there's nothing worse than being all excited for a specific ride, only to find out _at the queue line_ that it's not for you. Thanks for sharing your visit 😎👍

[@SuperEnthused]

Thank you!! I love to give detailed tours & try my best to show all the elements that would be helpful to know :)

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thanks for sharing!! This coaster seems so crazy you are so brave lol. I love the merch they have too I would get a pin!

[@dis-2536]

A perfectly lovely video!! I'm such a quivering wimp so I'll watch from below!! You and Sam are adorable, as usual. 🤣 Come to Busch Gardens near us in Williamsburg and ride our soon-to-open Pantheon! 💚

[@captaincc2735]

You are one of the best at preview events. So good.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Been waiting for this video, loved to see both of your reactions. Im going summer this year and can't wait to ride, and see how it compares to Zadra in Poland :)

[@SuperEnthused]

We were chatting about Zadra and how it’s just like a foot or two higher than this so it’s soooo close to being tallest hybrid in the world but just a bit under Zadra!

[@DrDetfink]

Wow. That was impressive. Jackie, you deserve a whole tray of donuts after having the concentration to film as the wind is whipping past you.

[@SuperEnthused]

It wasn’t easy haha! I saw some of the guys who clearly have stronger arms than me holding their arm up and I was trying so so hard haha!

[@DrDetfink]

@@SuperEnthused Yeah I noticed that. I kept wincing because the coaster pathway looked a bit tight in spots. Oh dear. 😆

[@audrees.properties]

Omg!! It looks like the first drop is straight down wowow

[@SuperEnthused]

It’s so wild!!

[@TheCoasterLisa]

Beautiful footage Jackie! I’m glad you got to meet some ACE members. I can just envision them taking turns riding the front & the back over & over without a squeal or peep. LOL. I’ve got to say there are a lot of perks if you join the club! 😉 I’ve been a member since 1998. 🤗 Not sure if you knew this, but RMC’s headquarters is located in the Pacific Northwest - in Hayden, Idaho which is close to Silverwood Theme Park. Being Seattleites, my husband & I have made many journeys across Washington state into Idaho for our regional summer events at Silverwood. In fact, I used to be ACE’s northwest regional rep for about 11 years! Since it opened in 1988, Silverwood has grown into a lush and beautiful park! Last year the park debuted Test Pilot which is an RMC raptor single rail coaster. A few of those are cropping up in the States. My husband rode it in the back (not by choice) & said it made him too woozy. He said the trains just keep moving as riders disembark and new riders board the cars. It’s footprint is pretty small so the layout is pretty tight and intense. Anyway, I don’t ride as much as I used to due to chronic whiplash injuries from an old car accident. But I still love wooden coasters and their sights, sounds, and smells. There’s nothing like hearing the dog chain clacking as a train climbs up a lift hill early in the morning or late at night after the ride has been broken in. I love the climb and seeing what awaits ahead & how it physiologically plays with our fears. I’m glad you were able to finally ride this! And I’m sure many Florida ACE members were too! 🙌🏻🎢🙌🏻

[@toddcribbs12]

This is the most excited I seen you about any roller coaster Jackie may God bless you

[@racheleschmidt]

I remember riding the original Gwazi when I was a little girl #teamtiger. So many great childhood memories created at Busch Gardens. Your video inspired me to buy an annual pass and enjoy this theme park once more. I’m excited to take on the new Iron Gwazi later on this month! I discovered your channel through Paging Mr. Morrow and Ordinary Adventures. Thank you for creating videos, I love your content! Much love and support!

Oh my, that looks crazy scary! You're both so brave :) x

What a great ride! Thanks for the detailed video. It was great to meet you and Sam. Being in Ohio, I am jealous that two very incredible coasters have opened so close to each other in Florida. You folks have it made down there. Ha ha.

[@1anastudent]

When it comes to Florida amusement parks everyone thinks it's all about Disney and universal Studios. I like when these other parks get some love

[@SuperEnthused]

Same here! I love showing all the cool things to do here, there’s so much more!!

[@muthergoose4084]

It's Friday! And you know what's better than Friday? Another one of your AMAZING videos! Add Sam and its like Xmas in Feb. That ride looks insane. It would have been hilarious if Sam did lose his shirt. I hope one day I can get the chance to ride.

Hi Jackie. Thank you for going on the Coaster for me. I was having a panic attack when you went up the first climb. The neon Shirts in the Gift Shop reminds me of the late '80's. Have a Great Day and a Better One Tomorrow.

Jackie, this coaster is too much for me. However, I’m looking for parks for my husband and son, as Disney is pricing us out. They would love Iron Gwazi. I can see us staying on our DVC points and traveling to other parks. Universal and Busch Gardens, here we come. Great vlog!

[@SuperEnthused]

Yes Iron Gwazi is a great coaster and Busch Gardens has a lot of great rides! Universal is also awesome! ❤️

[@petahoee8281]

Love Busch Gardens 🤍🤍🤍 I grew up with the "old gwazi" I use to ride it all the time. There's nothing like a good wooden coaster in my opinion. Thanks for making this video for us Jackie 🤍🤍🤍

[@SuperEnthused]

I love a wooden coaster too! I know. A lot of ppl don’t, but there’s something so fun and charming about it.

This is way more daring than the original. Amazing drop. Good camera placement by the way.

What a fun day! Looks really fun! Kinda reminds me of "Twisted Colossus" at Six Flags, California. However, that ride is wood & steel hybrid. But the way the seats are & the pattern reminds me of it.

Excited to ride this in March! I've only ridden 2 RMC hybrid coasters, plus one of their single rail models, and they're wild. But they have never made me sick or dizzy. Hats off to the designers for creating such crazy, yet comfortable rides

[@SuperEnthused]

That's true, I didn't feel sick or dizzy either, but I did feel like if I had tried to ride 6 times like the guys did, I might have gotten there haha. But it's not meant to be ridden that many times in a row normally 😂

I have concern that this coaster would be too intense for the inexperienced guest… Especially in the back row at evening after a long hot day… I already saw that some reporters greyout multiple times, I hope it will not happen too often ! I don’t want them so scale back Iron Gwazi.

[@vickistory2724]

I absolutely love all the angle that you were able to be filmed at and this is the best coverage. I also love that Florida coasters are so long. We have this almost same coaster at Six Flags over Georgia. Ours is just a bit smaller scale, but we be perfect to prepare for this one. Thank you for the most awesome video. I always love how you have ALL the information and share it.

[@roxyloveslucy]

NO WAY IN HECK! There’s not much keeping you in that seat. No neck support. With those big drops, you’d think it would have those big shoulder harnesses. I’m glad you guys liked it. But that’s a big nope for me!
