I feel the best way to put it is that Iron Gwazi has an overall superior layout, but Velocicoaster is more of a complete package. If they had a wait of 0-30 minutes, I'd probably go for Iron Gwazi, a coaster with a somewhat barren queue. If both of them had, say, 45+ minute waits, I'd rather go on Velocicoaster, which has an excellent queue with Chris Pratt in it.

I remember trying to convince my family to delay our Florida vacation from second week of January 2020 to April so I could ride this beast, them refusing and me staring at the unfinished ride daydreaming about how it could've been my first RMC and what a first RMC credit it would have been. Needless to say I'm happy they refused or else I would have lost the vacation entirely, maybe getting it 5 years later. One of these days I want to get back. This and VelociCoaster look stunning.

I remember in the last couple months before it shut down in 2015 at around Christmas, about 15 minutes before closing time for the park my cousin and I decided to make Gwazi our last stop. There were about 6 people ahead of us, but we wanted our last ride to be in the front seats so we could see the lights of the park at night. We ended up being the last passengers that night in a ride only to ourselves. The park in the evening is really pretty, especially given the holiday lights they had set up. I was always a huge fan of Gwazi, but that being my last ride on the original wooden tracks was definitely one of my favorite experiences on a rollercoaster yet. I'll never forget that experience. The cool air, the lights and spending it with my family made it an unforgettable experience. Now I can't wait to make more memories with Iron Gwazi!

We thought it would never open, then alas, the announcement that it would be opening in March. It was really emotional, and now.... 63 rides later it's the best coaster I've ever ridden. Velocicoaster is great too, and I have almost double the rides on that than Iron Gwazi, but Iron Gwazi absolutely stole my heart forever.

In all honestly, I would really have wanted to see what would have happened if they retained Gwazi's dueling aspect. Florida currently lacks a coaster with a proper duel (though Epic Universe looks to change that), and I would have liked to see what they would have done with all the preexisting fly-bys and near misses. For instance - imagine a Top Gun stall, except the coasters are running towards each other instead of alongside. However, such a ride would likely be difficult to maintain, especially if using the original Gwazi dual station, essentially having to build and maintain two separate rides. Plus, "definitive" records are much better than "specific" ones, and only taking the records for hybrids isn't exactly optimal for marketing. It's why Twisted Colossus only uses one station - it saves money since they only have to maintain "one" ride.

Still massive but differently massive. When I finally rode it for the first time I cried on the lift hill. I was riding with a teenager thst said “don’t worry. We are safe” and I said oh it’s not that it’s just I remeber the classic version and had such fond memories and I am Sentimental. He said “oh well you’re gonna love this version too!

Imagine if there was an Iron Gwazi movie starring Nicolas Cage as the titular crocodile king. It would be an origin story of the croc becoming the new king of the Busch Gardens jungle. When his parents tell him that he needs to use his life-threatening powers to save the world from a dangerous thunder cloud, he and Tigris the Tiger use a modified Rhino Rally vehicle to travel back in time to recruit some ancient warriors, since his friends (the “mascots” of the coasters at the park) don’t trust him with his mission. He and his newly formed team embark on an adventure across the world, finding relics that will help them save the world from a devastating thunder cloud that could threaten all of mankind. Tell me you wouldn’t want that!

I've been a Universal/WDW fan for years and tried out Busch Gardens Tampa for the first time this past 2021 holiday season. Busch has some really fun rides but I guess I just really love "theme parks" and the theme aspects of Busch Gardens are a lot lighter than Universal and Disney Parks. (Also, the queue management and general park amenities are far below Universal and Disney, IMHO.) Velocicoaster is such a great ride, they could have dumped it in a parking lot and it would still be fun -- but I love that Universal took the time to build the atmosphere around the ride. Animatronics, sounds. All the attention to detail helps to transport you elsewhere. I'll keep going back to Busch because it's near family but it's just not on the same level as Uni/Disney.
