Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

[Scott W.]

Yup. We'll have our article up later today with more info.

Did you get to have any interviews?

SeaWorld and Busch always seem pretty engaged and interested in the questions given to them.

Random Q: Does anyone know what happen to Morrow? He was heading SeaWorld creative (Deep Blue something) for a while, but last I heard he left the company.

He was also one of the more honest and open creatives I’ve seen.

We did.

He now has his own Themed Entertainment company. Remember that Stranger Things photo op at Cabana? That's his team.

His firm is B Morrow Productions. They worked on Sesame Street Land at SeaWorld as well as the Sesame Street Dark Ride at Port Aventura! He also offered some work for the IAPPA Headquarters Seems he is doing just fine and seems to have a good relationship with SEAS still.

This thing has a bigger and steeper drop than Sheikra, right?

Yes. it's 5 feet taller (at 206 feet) and 1 degree steeper (at 91 degrees).

Yes. it's 5 feet taller (at 206 feet) and 1 degree steeper (at 91 degrees).

which is crazy because it looks way taller than Sheikra as you approach the park.

Yes, it's quite the illusion. Every angle of this ride looks massive and gigantic even though it's just a bit taller.

I think the bulky B&M track makes SheiKra look smaller than it is

Also, I believe they will provide different sensations

Iron Gwazi will probably be the best coaster in Florida. RMC's are so good.

Forgive the lateness

Take a behind the walls look of the construction of Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa

As we approached Busch Gardens Tampa for the behind-the-walls construction tour of the upcoming Iron Gwazi, we couldn't help but notice the newly-formed, intimidating lift hill in the sky, seemingly dwarfing the neighboring Sheikra. The skyline at Busch Gardens has certainly changed for the better.

That is going to be some ridiculous ejector air time.

If you look at the comments on projected POVs on Youtube there's people complaining that this won't have airtime.

Trains moving on the track near station, might be a pull-through. Spotted in this story on insta:

Actually, later in the story, looks like water dummies on the train and sounds like the station is making sounds. Neat.

We have the sign!

It's been a big week for Theme Park signs. Fans can't get enough of them. Wonder if we'll get a behind the scenes video on how they made this sign!

When is this expected to open?

 

[Donald Razorduck]

Imma gonna have to fly down on Allegiant to PIE and ride this

 

[MakoMania]

When is this expected to open?

Depends how fast they can get the last few bits of track in place. Testing (which looks to have already started) should only take a few weeks.
