God damn, what's the point anymore xD.
The hype train passed about 6-5 months ago.

I bet you my left arm that the hype will be back when it finally opens.

Well ain't that something, the park itself wants to open the ride and has been fighting corporate over it. If the park wants to open the ride, let them open the ride.

My assumption is the other parks want to open their thingys too and corporate said, "no, we will use our infinity stones when the world needs them"

Here is the entirety of the press announcement:



IRON GWAZI to open MARCH 2022 AT BUSCH GARDENS TAMPA BAY

World-record breaking hybrid coaster opens in time for Spring Break​




Tampa, Fla. (August 23, 2021) – Today, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced that Iron Gwazi will open as North America’s tallest hybrid coaster and the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster in the world in March 2022, in time for Spring Break.



The new ride will take thrills to new heights, plunging riders from a 206-foot-tall peak into a 91-degree drop and reaching top speeds of 76 miles per hour. The journey will include a dozen airtime moments, including three inversions, as it races along more than 4,075 feet of purple steel track. With a 48” height requirement, Iron Gwazi will be an exciting attraction that thrill-seeking families can take on together.



“Iron Gwazi has been highly anticipated by roller coaster enthusiasts around the world since we first announced this new legend. Due to the unprecedented challenges over the last two years, Iron Gwazi was delayed, and we recognize the delay has disappointed our fans. We appreciate the patience our guests have shown.” said Neal Thurman, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Park President. “We’re finally able to confirm that we will be delivering on the next-level thrills that our coaster fans crave and expect from Busch Gardens, when we open this incredible coaster this spring.”

​

Iron Gwazi will be the 10th roller coaster to join Busch Gardens’ lineup of highly rated roller coasters and thrill rides, including Tigris, Florida’s tallest inversion, SheiKra, a 200-foot, 90-degree drop coaster, and Montu, recognized as one of the top 10 coasters in the country.

It’s the Ratatouille opening date announcement all over again.
“Tell is when it opens”
“Okay, but you aren’t gonna like it”

If you bought an AP or Fun Card after 9/5/2019 that won't be active in 2022 they're still willing to give you special ride time as long as you fill out this form

This was a smart move, and also sleezy, this is seven months away, but also next year

So many mixed emotions, but I'm glad it's finally open

While this news does suck, I am expecting us to get some sort of a timeframe tomorrow and that will be solid. There won’t be anymore of this “anticipated” crap. It will 100% open in 2022.

Just figured we could look on the bright side

Glad we got a timeframe on this. Unless the parks have another shutdown, it WILL open in March.

They are normally pretty good about passholder previews

They could probably start them today if they really wanted

Yippee.

Time to move on and get going on a coaster for 2023. Us fans having to wait 2 extra years for Iron Gwazi deserve it. Give me a Giga.

I believe the new single-use Quick Queue has been updated to say not including Iron Gwazi since the announcement.
Not sure how long they have said that though.
