Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

[6racksgone]

Haven't they already officially announced it?

all the park said is that theyll be turning gwazi into an rmc and itll be north americas tallest, aswell as the worlds steepest and fastest. and like 3 seconds of teaser footage.

we still dont know the name, theme, or stats. (pssttt...its 210ft tall)

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Soooo worlds tallest RMC since Zadra isn’t and clearly there isn’t some secret monster RMC in the works next year that isn’t Gwazi

How many inversions do you guys think we're gonna see on this thing? Three? Four?

4. im like 93.7% sure of it

Ehhh, I'm thinking three. The twisting drop and some sort of double-inverting stall or a couple of corkscrews. I'm not counting any overbanked turns, of course.

one of my buddies Cameron was a former employee at the park and he knew a decent amount of stuff on the ride. he told me 4 but wasnt too sure of it

Maybe so. But where would all the inversions go? And what would they be?

The less the better IMO, they need to focus on air time with this one, we really don't have an airtime machine at BGT

he mentioned one would be called an "african camel turn" whatever that is.

also i will add on he was at the park yesterday and supposedly saw a couple of men including stewart clark wandering the rhino ralley area

Probably not an inversion. Sounds like a double down/up combined with a turn. If it's an inversion, then what in the hell?

They could do both if they wanted. Steel Vengeance is an airtime machine, but it still has four inversions. Twisted Timbers has three and it's still an airtime machine.

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for

I was more thinking about a Kumba or Montu that focus on their acrobatics

he described it as Jokers first element, but in reverse

Then they're calling it something weird, because that seems like a regular zero-g roll to me. Just watched the POV of Joker. Or that might actually be the same inversion spirals down from under the lift hill. Same sort of inversion, just in reverse.

it very well could be the inversion under the lift. i just wonder wtf the name or theme is gonna be like what goes with purple in the Moroccan area

Yeah, it definitely is the same thing. That's a weird ass name for it if you ask me. And I don't know, it might not be Moroccan-related at all.

okay so after a quick google search of animals that inhabit that central/north african area i found a couple of animals that could be suited for gwazis theme.

hyena
lion
rhino

 

[6racksgone]

or a common gundi!!!!!!

Definitely not going to be Lion themed. Hyena doesn't make a ton of sense. But Rhino.... you may have something there.

why not a lion? sure okay purple is a little odd, but if you think about it, it would look hella cool. they could pull some tribal lion theme or something

Kumba is already Lion themed. Plus, you also have Tigris and Cheetah Hunt (both cat-based coasters) in the same park.
