Riding Iron Gwazi At Busch Gardens Tampa! | The World's Fastest & Steepest Hybrid Roller Coaster!

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!

Tim's commentary while the camera just shows the coaster from far away might just be the funniest thing I've seen all day lmao

[@brixeditz1152]

Righttt😭 i thought i was the only one that found it funny lmao

[@nimuaegore3010]

its like we can hear him from that far 😆😆😆

[@thiagobezerra165]

JjJjõ

[@jocelyntraywick5945]

Same I lmao

[@lydia4278]

Hearing Tim scream and see the far away shot of the first drop was comedy gold. Also just hearing his "weee" is so fun. Glad he had fun and thanks for the video!

[@nicoleh]

Tim’s commentary on roller coasters makes me smile each time! :)

[@bluegold1026]

So true!

[@kickcows]

I love when Tim says 'Whee!' That's my favorite!! That coaster is way too nuts for me, so I appreciate the 'virtual' experience!

[@deasnuts73]

He should rank rides by ‘Holy Macaroni’s’. This ride is a 4 out of 5 Holy Macaroni’s.

[@jeffreyhilliker9592]

Oh my god oh boy wheeeee!

[@nightmaresanyone]

@@deasnuts73 Yes! I agree with you 100% on that! Stay SCARED!! Richard

[@coasteradict5578]

Tim’s commentary when ridding the ride is hilarious!

[@KimmiePatts]

I LOVE when Tim says "weeeeeeeeee" on a coaster! 😂😂😄

[@jenlellig2789]

I love all Tracker videos, but I think my absolute favorite category of Tracker videos is “Tim rides a rollercoaster for the first time.” Also, the edit on this video is gorgeous, Jenn. Thank you both for the time and energy that you put into every video!

[@kimturner282]

It sure was quiet on the ride. All the other coaster enthusiasts are all quiet and tryna play it cool and Tim’s all “weeeeeeeeee!!” Lol! I love it. I would have been screamin my head off.

[@XbLacKsNoWX]

Thank you so much for this Tim!! Being a coaster nerd + architect, I'm always keen to take a closer look at the structure and details! That's some crazy engineering!

[@ashleyw.2831]

The difference watching Tim in the front..and then the back is totally two different experiences. The POV in the front I was like oh this looks fun I can do this. The POV FOR THE BACK, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE SICK! 😆 🤣 😂

[@jamesreese4170]

Agreed a much more aggressive ride in the back.

[@howwefindhappy]

I can't wait to ride this and see how it compares to their Steel Vengeance conversion at Cedar Point!

[@dianahall8304]

Great editing Jen! Love all the camera angles and how you lined it up with Tim’s commentary, impressed the audio was so crisp too!

[@kmchano]

Thank you for all of your editing work Jenn !!! Sometimes I think it is a thankless job so I just wanted to give you props for all you do ✌❤

[@Travel__Spin]

I agree! Thank you Jen!!! ❤️

[@c0ronariu5]

Watching this I says to myself “ holy cow the editing for this looks like a mission”

[@karenr3458]

Love when Tim says weeeeeeeeeee going down the coaster, cant wait til Jenn can ride it, hope Tim is doing good after his wisdom teeth removal, thanks for the video, loved seeing the notification.

[@juliaskrin3535]

No one puts their hands up because they are hanging on for dear life. Love it. Seems like a good one!

[@racheleschmidt]

Rode this twice today! The only part that kinda scared me was how it slows down at the top and I will say that drop is a beast! The inversions were not rocky like I thought they would be - row 6 & 7 for a smooth ride! Overall, a solid ride!

[@rmannayr2129]

TIM'S COMMENTARY IS SO FUNNY!

[@egbah428]

Love Busch gardens. Can't wait to get back. It's been 3 years

[@beccab8015]

Steel Vengeance is my current favorite coaster, but this one is on my to do list for sure. When Tim says "weeee!" 😂😂

[@jackie8357]

That first shot with the sun shine in the background has to be the prettiest roller coaster picture I've ever seen!

[@Lady_Peaches]

Always fun to listen to Tim on a coaster. Glad to see that Monday must have gone okay. Guessing no food today cause you are still on soft xxx

[@breezygirl011]

I love Tim's commentary during the ride!!! You guys are my all time favorite channel!!! ❤️

[@denisemccollum319]

Thanks for sharing! I rode Gwazi when it was just a wooden roller coaster (that was a rough and bumpy ride!). My pic from the ride was hilarious though! My hair was going everywhere! I don't think I'll be riding this one though, but I love watching them... (not much of an upside down person anymore thanks to vertigo 🥺)

[@coburnbatman]

I’ve been wondering how Tim has been doing after his dentist appointment! Knowing him, nothing stops him from having a good time no matter what

[@Mrswoo42]

Me too!! On Monday I was like “oh yeah Tim’s getting his wisdom teeth out! I hope he’s ok!”

[@bridgetclement2968]

I've seen the Vlogs of them at Fort wilderness a few days after that Procedure and he was taking it easy with the Foods he was Eating. So this may have been a few days Before that

[@raymndmark]

I've GOT to get down and ride this. It's not in Florida, but if you want INTENSE you gotta ride Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion. That is notoriously the most intense roller coaster even after they re-did the track because it caused too many people to black out.

[@thebluetarp]

They killed it at the merch!! Good job bush gardens!

[@dhicks2121]

I'm riding it tomorrow with a special pass holders event. I cannot wait! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Zdemon-186]

This has been one of my favorite videos of y’all. Loved it 😂🎢

[@rlynch1980]

Tim you are so kind and gentle and this coaster is, well, anything but. I’m impressed at your restraint from yelling obscenities. What a great coaster and you are right - it is INTENSE!! Great footage as always.

[@riverviewgamer1991]

I live 20 minutes from Busch Gardens a Tampa. I can’t wait to ride this coaster when it opens.

[@cattoll1]

The persons hair in front of you had so much air time 😂

[@maryward613]

Yes, Tim's whee is cool. That 2nd run he went on, I wish I had that guys hair that was in front of him! Love your detailed reviews!

The first roller coaster that I have ever rode was the original Gwazi. This video just gave me nostalgia.

[@coreymccord3485]

I've been waiting on Tim's presentation of this coaster. Great reporting! I can't wait to ride it.

[@Wooperzz]

everybody riding it looks so calm 😂

[@ChinaDollTravels]

Wow that roller coaster 🎢 looks amazing I can’t wait to ride it one ☝️ day

[@trtvwd]

Can't wait to ride, this just got me more pumped! Also, the way you said WHIPPED at the end 🤣

[@maddielynrachel]

The guy cheesin’ behind Tim! 😂 This looks like so much fun.

[@rongreger2532]

That coaster looks awesome! Thanks for the ride Tim! 🎢

[@gametime2473]

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.

[@gracemarkey]

Wow that looks amazing. I hope to ride that one day! Tim, you and Jenn have to come to Hershey Park and ride Skyrush. I know you like intense coasters…that one is the top in my book. I’d love to see your reaction.

[@key8422]

That back row ain't no JOKE!!!! I can't wait to ride this one.

[@joelionetti4852]

Tim i’m so glad you enjoyed it!! It was great to see you today, hope you’re feeling better from your surgery soon!!

[@myblasphemouslife9052]

I had foot reconstruction and tendon transfer surgery done in December and will have to relearn to walk this summer but man I miss being able to go out to the theme parks here in Florida This is going to be on the top of my list when I can walk again

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

Was nice to see Tarzan out and about sitting in front of you in the back row.

[@christoole1664]

Whoa! Holy cow! Man…you are tough. I was literally screaming the whole ride and praying that my wife was still alive at the end of it! You MUST be a coaster expert. Lol

[@paml5837]

thanks for sharing..so cool..gotta get to Busch Gardens

[@tiffanyann9763]

Hope Tim’s wisdom teeth removal went well and all is going smoothly at the Trackers!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Angelus6015]

Looks like it. Though I spy some puffy cheeks on Tim at the beginning of this vid. Pretty sure this was filmed today, so I’m assuming his wisdom teeth were taken out the day before?

[@frankie8898]

@@Angelus6015 i just had my wisdom teeth taken out on monday and i’m still in agonizing pain and pretty puffy. i would say he’s probably been through a week…

They said in a video recently that he was riding Iron Gwazi before having the wisdom teeth removed.

@@HyphenDude in the last vid he said he was riding the ride so close to after getting them out :)

It's an amazing coaster. Super smooth ride! Busch Gardens also did a great job planning by having lockers right at the entrance, as well as zipper pockets in the coaster for your phone/wallet/etc. Rode it three times last weekend, and it was amazing!

[@lesliebeaver]

Jenn, it was so great to meet you yesterday!!! Thank you for taking so much time to chat with us and for being so incredibly sweet! You made our day! ❤️

[@katyj8316]

I got vertigo watching Tim in the front seat. My stomach dropped when he was in the back. It was too intense for me just watching!! I think this is the closest I will get to it. But I did enjoy watching Tim enjoy it so much. Loved the video.

[@doublej9717]

Wow, you really get a view of the airtime on the GoPro footage of the lady in front . Looks amazing! A few similarities to Lightning Rod! (Only RMC I’ve ridden)

[@ShieldMaidenGaming]

The last time I was at Busch Gardens was when it was the "dueling" coaster and I remember getting a necklace with that design on it... first time I've heard vintage used for something from my childhood LOL

[@tommyguerrera]

Cannot wait for my passholder preview 😍😍

[@Mrshoujo]

I recommend shin guards for riding most roller coasters. Really liked your stabilized video during the ride.

[@JonHazzard]

I’m pretty sure that little dip at the beginning is to help slow down the train in case of malfunction and roll back

[@sweetpea8091]

That is insane, you rode it 4 times? Way to go Tim... Me no way🤣

[@DaveMani]

Looks awesome!!!

[@harrietsbookcorner]

Great video as always Tim and amazing editing Jenn ♥️ this coaster looks crazy good! A bit upset that I won’t be going to Busch Gardens on my next trip.. I went on this when it was just Gwazi and it felt so unsafe haha my belt wouldn’t stay in place, so I’m glad it’s been put to good use.

There is something so fun and different about a hybrid coaster. I have ridden The New Texas Giant at SixFlags Over Texas, The Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Twisted Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain all of which are hybrid coasters. I love them, and Iron Gwazi looks awesome.

can't wait to ride this bad boi 🥳🥳 sweet vlog, although I tend to look away and skip a lot ;)

[@evanberner]

I'd like to know how it compares to Steel Vengeance. I know same company and concept, but Steel Vengeance is the absolute best coaster I've ridden.

[@meg8278]

The seat parts that are against your shins are very tight. But I love the fact that they have a little bag under the seats on the Iron gawazi. I wish all the coasters and other parks had them.

[@tracycotgreave4227]

Oh my days er Noooooo, I'll hold the bags n stuff. Tim you are so brave, and I don't know if you cuss, but the air would be blue, if I rode that. 🤣 Well done, and I hope your mouth is not too sore. ☺️
