Iron Gwazi (General Discussion)

[Cheezbat]

Did you not ride Son of Beast? Because that made Mean Streak look like a kiddy coaster.

I sure did...and while it was rough, it was never Mean Streak rough. I actually kinda liked it...especially back when it still had the loop.

2021 it is! Unless it entirely falls over first

BG shared a post on FB that had some snippets of the POV as part of this announcement. They should just release it already!

Spring? Hopefully February or March. I was expecting some Christmas soft openings if there is high demand. Texas Stingray opened late Fevruary

But not April or May because by then the structure has to be inspected again. Mothballing the ride since August and keeping it that way for 7 months.

The worst possible outcome is the whole wood structure rotting and then the coaster collapsing if there is no thorough inspection? Even with Ice Breaker, it needs to pass inspection or else it is unrideable. I do not want to see the coaster collapse. Or delayed to 2022 if the virus is still worse impacting tourism on all cylinders.



Someone tweeted me that Iron Gwazi has numerous tubular steel supports and the wood is filled of arsenic.

Maybe the structure will do fine, but what if RMC will have to go back and inspect.

It's not a maybe. The structure is fine and will be fine. The only threat to the structure is a strong hurricane or tornado. Full stop.

And so be it if RMC needs to do an inspection, it's a non-issue.

Ok, can you stop with these worst case scenario extreme conspiracy theories (that are almost always not true). The structure will do fine and has done fine.

Same goes for all of the bonkers Epcot theories that you tried to populate over on Magic.

Spring starts March 20, 2021.

Right now the biggest threat to the structure right now is your posts. This is FUD.

Okay. I just want to make sure Iron Gwazi will be safe.

I hinted at it earlier, but I'm expecting softs around Valentines Day.

They've really been planning this for a long time.

They've really been planning this for a long time.

If they predicted COVID and delaying all the ride expenditures to 2021 then they should get out of the amusement park business and get into futures speculation.

If only they could have predicted Blackfish

You're gonna miss HOS

You're gonna miss HOS

Oh well. HOS is something worth checking out every few years. It’s not like HHN where you can’t miss a year.
