It's a name people. In 5 years (or less), most of us wont'a give a s$#%. I mean, Cheetah Hunt will still be the worst named coaster in the park, even after 9 years (and beyond). Iron Gwazi pays tribute to the old ride, while also noting it's conversion in the name so it will "help" people realize it's not the same coaster (those that aren't coaster nerds). It could be called "RMC Gwazi" or "Steel Added To Gwazi" and it will still be a great ride. With that said, yes another name would be nice, but why overly complain when we will finally have an awesome airtime-filled ride at BGT.

"Cheetah's Hunt" would've been much better, because for the longest time I thought it was implying that we were hunting for a cheetah. :lol:

I probably am in the minority, but I kind of like Iron Gwazi.

I have so many questions regarding the prelift section.

Wait, could the reason why the big gap between those 2 track segments isnt filled in yet is because the actual steel lift hill structure itself is going to support the track and hold the ledgers?

My only complaint with the POV is that the chain lift needs to be much much much louder to be a true RMC haha

Judging by their bent assembly technique they could have that gap filled in a couple of afternoons if they wanted to. I imagine they’ll close the gap as the lift and drop and placed. Keep in mind they haven’t even poured footings for the bottom of the drop, so it could be one of the last things built.

Iron Gwazi sounds pretty cool to me. Reminds me of Iron Man/Iron Spider in a way, definitely a name suited for an upgraded and more intense ride.

Honestly I had no idea Gwazi meant Liger at all. It’s just a cool sounding African word to me and I assume most other people.

Super crude drawing but could the lift hill structure be like this?

Nah it’ll be fully supported on the barrel roll drop with truss supports making up the lift. They’re provably doubling up the gap supports to carry the load for both the roll and a middle support column for the lift.
