We were fortunate to be invited to visit Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to experience Iron Gwazi during the park's media day event. During the event, we rode the ride many times, gathered others opinions of the ride and of course took lots of photos. Follow along as we take you through what Iron Gwazi is all about. We can with confidence say that Iron Gwazi is now Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's signature attraction and I bet will find its way into many of your top-ten lists.
Thanks to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and the ACE Florida Region for this opportunity!

So it is tall. Really tall. The lift takes you up as high as Sheikra. It also is not noticeably noisy like Steel Vengeance.

In the central Florida area, there is no ride like it, so I am sure it will blow a lot of guests away.

Pretty much the only rides you could compare this to are Steel Vengeance, Wildfire and Zadra. Haven't been on the last one yet.
