Iron Gwazi front seat on-ride 5K POV @60FPS Busch Gardens Tampa 

Rode it last night in the dark for the first time. Very much worth the 80 minute wait. The first drop feels absolutely nuts and you're going so fast through the whole thing you can't even tell when you're upside down

5 minutes for this was the biggest steal of my life. It was so fun; the video does not do it justice. It is probably the best roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. You get whipped towards every direction. 76 MPH, and even though it’s a 91 degree drop, you can feel that extra 1 degree.

If youre an enthusiast you understand what every one of these airtime moments feel like. Goodness this is a powerhouse.

That first drop looks devastating

Hands down one of the best coasters ever. Went on it three times today. The last seat wins my vote for some serious air time.

This was my first rollercoaster after a 3 year hiatus. I genuinely feared for my life.

1:23 is one of the most visceral, incredible inversions ever designed.

These RMC I-Box refits are just incredible. The layouts are so imaginative. They don't have big elements, they have an amazing collection of small ones. Love it.

Have rode this coaster multiple times, as I live in Tampa. It is an absolute coaster killer. Nothing you ride will ever compare.

This video was worth the wait. Simply beautiful. Well done as expected. Iron Gwazi is going to LAUNCH people out of their seats on those airtime pops. Can't wait.

Having ridden scores of coasters over the years, this is probably now in my top spot - the air time, that first drop, the sheer speed and scale are breathtaking.

Finally getting more pov's, this is very exciting!

I don’t think many people talk about how intense and amazing the death roll is. Literally took my breath away, I felt like I was probably being spun by an actual gator. It’s violent. My favorite inversion I’ve experienced so far.

Before my back issues became so severe that I couldn’t ride coasters anymore, I rode the original Gwazi during its premiere week. It was the first wooden roller coaster that I had ever ridden and made me a lover of thrill rides. Thanks for these videos. It’s really fun for reminiscing and it’s fun for my little girl who’s not quite tall enough to ride yet.

RMC does it again. Just rode this 3 times. Unreal. What a ride!!! The drop is insane, the speed is amazing, and the inversions are smooth and quick. All positions on the train feel amazing. Not a dull moment. It doesn't let up until its over. Wow. 10/10

This is definitely slow motion. I rode it last week in Tampa I’m 64 yrs old. My 14 yr old grandson begged me. First time in my life I thought I was going to die. Omg.

A great route with surprising turns, quick banking changes, and rolls with simultaneous elevation changes. If you ride in the back seat, the first drop yanks you over the crest and out of your seat. I came out of my seat at least five times during the ride. Exceptionally smooth. I’ve been on MANY coasters and this is at the top of the list. “The Beast” at Kings Island (Mason, Ohio) might still sit in P1, but this would be a close second!

I’ve been on a TON of coasters across the country. This is literally one of my favorites! No matter how many times I ride, I’m still fascinated at the speed and just how fun it is.

Absolutely terrifying, but thrilling ride! Can't wait to go again.

I’m positive this is the best RMC. From the end of the lift hill to final break run, it’s only 45 seconds long, but it just packs such a powerful punch in that amount of time and offers everything from intensity, airtime, pacing, and inversions! Also, the back row is a *MUST DO!!!*

that first drop feeling sitting in the front is something i cannot explain. this has to be one of the top 5 craziest rollercoasters ever. so amazing.

Rode this a few weeks ago. Absolutely insane. The drop is amazing and this thing was much faster than anticipated. An amazing ride

Just got back from a trip this weekend, iron gwazi is easily the most intense coaster at Busch Gardens, maybe in the southeastern US. I rode the wooden version a few years back and was expecting something similar but smoother and iron gwazi had me shaking by the time we were done. 11/10

I got my chance to ride IG yesterday and wow it’s amazing. The no shoulder harness setup just adds to the terrifying feeling you are going to fly out. Well done Busch Gardens!

Finally got to ride this last week and I can say without a doubt the BEST coaster I've ever been on! The first drop is the most thrilling feeling I've ever had on a coaster. Glass smooth and relentless, this thing hauls all the way to the brakes

My first time was yesterday. That is by far the most intense rollercoaster I’ve ridden. Velocicoaster is number 2 behind this for me

Rode this yesterday. Easily my favorite coaster ever. It’s intense, fast and very exciting. I would recommend to everyone who is a theme park/roller coaster enthusiast.

Road IG yesterday. OMG! This ride is an intense, fun, wild adventure. Never dull moment. It was totally worth the 1.5 hour wait!

This one looks really fun!

I rode this last night with my fiance and it was wicked. He said he's been on roller coasters like this but this was the most insane he's ever been on. It's the best roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa and totally worth the 2 hour wait!

Gotta love a ride that waits for it’s paint to fade before it opens

THE BEST ROLLER COASTER I’VE EVER RIDDEN HOLY CRAP THE PACING WAS SOOOO GOOD OF WHAT I WAS EXPECTING AND THAT WAVE TURN ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME!!!!!! 🐊🐊🐊

I am so hyped for this thing. It looks fantastic and it's coming to my home park!

That deathroll is freakin awesome!

This is the best roller coaster yet. I am a homer for Fury at carowinds so it took a lot for me to admit this. The elements in this ride are well synced and it leaves you without desire.

Feeling a little RMC-fatigue at the moment, but it’s great that Florida got a real world-class one. BGT is a great park!

Definitely best coaster video I've ever seen, amazing!!

So, imagine a drop on Goliath, Mako, Fury 325, etc., then imagine yourself getting thrown left, right, and up. This is what this ride feels like. Incredible

I can’t believe I only waited 10 minutes for this ride, such a walk-on. It was so worth it

I dont know why but this channel really gives me loads of nostalgia I think its just the great and iconic intro

Just got off the coaster, front seat, INSANE !!!

Crazy to believe it’s finally here. Looks incredible

I'm a roller coaster freak and this is by far the best ride I've ever been on and that's saying somthing.

I just left there about two hours ago ill say these videos DO NOT DO ANY JUSTICE on how badass this ride is!!! From first drop to the final break its all speed, power airtime, you feel like you about to go this way but tracks go other way or flip you upside down lol. Might be my #2 behind incredible hulk! Very smooth too!

Looks like the wait was worth it after all to ride this monster of a coaster!

Dude I’ve ridden this ride 4 times already. The night rides are incredible. This ride is the best roller coaster I’ve been on, it’s super intense, has so much airtime. The queue is so long tho, and it moves very slowly. The queue isn’t super fun at all to be in, it’s just a slow paced moving queue. Although even with the wait and the boring queue, Is the ride experience worth the wait? Definitely is. I was screaming my lungs out with my cousin the first times we rode this ride. 😂 it’s amazing, if you like roller coasters, definitely ride it

I’ve been to Cedar Point, I’ve been on all the greats around the world, Kingda Ka, Nitro, Steel Vengence, Maverick etc, this is the BEST ride I’ve ever been on. Must ride front row. I rode it 4 times, the time of my LIFE.

I went on this last night for the first time, the drop was INSANE. Nothing like it. Best rollercoaster at Busch Gardens for sure

Rode this for the first time during hallowscreem a few nights ago. Simultaneously the most intense and smoothest ride I've experienced

Insane, looks to be definitely worth the wait and hype!

Just went on this today, these videos seriously do not do it justice! The sheer thrill you get from the drops and twists is breathtaking. It’s definitely worth the wait!

Que gran viaje, por fin he terminado de ver todos los POV de todas las RMC de pista I-box

My brother rode this when he was younger than I am now, but back when it was wooden. My family and I plan on going back to Busch Gardens soon to ride this coaster- I was hyped until I saw how fast it went- though that first drop doesn't look too scary. I'm not one for airtime, which I assume is the feeling of leaving your seat- and I hear this coaster has it. The "most" roller coaster I went on at Busch Gardens was the scorpion- my first coaster with a loop-de-loop

Congrats on being the first person to film the prelift!

Rode this coaster the day after the 4th of July this year. I've ridden many coasters in my life and with a quick queue pass I rode all of them at Busch Gardens Tampa that day. I knew it would be intense when they had me buckle in and then had a bar for my thighs and shins. No over the shoulder bar, so your arms are free. It's a smooth ride, no bouncing or being knocked side to side. Most coasters this long will give you a few seconds rest somewhere in the track. I can tell you this one does not. Once you reach the top of that first hill it's a non-stop intense ride the entire time. I enjoy coasters, but once on the IG was enough for me.

Workers told me to sit in the back, so worth it!! Was the best ride at the whole park and one of my top 3 rides ever

A little secret about Iron Gwazi. If you don’t like the stomach drop feeling, sit in the front row, either row 1 or row 2. The reason why is because the ride gets slower once it reaches the lift hill and you already have a head start reaching the bottom.

There is an easter egg in the coaster barn where, if you look to your right, you will see the lion and the tiger from the original Gwazi.

Did this last week - it's crazy how fast this is. Shocks your brain

Rode it yesterday for the first time. Man that first drop is intense !! Amazing ride.

Wait, so you can ride theming structure 1 now?

DAMN YOU KNOW COAST FORCE HAD TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST !!!

Finally got to ride in the preview and OMG come visit us people this coaster needs to be on EVERY LIST!!!

Took a day trip to Tampa from Orlando to visit Busch Gardens on 3/30 with the purpose of riding Iron Gwazi. Let me just say that this coaster is not for the faint of heart. The first drop is made more terrifying as you literally creep over the top of the lift hill and then suddenly plunge down. And that's not even the most intense part of the ride. It's what comes after that is absolutely wild as this coaster is unrelenting in speeding through one element after the other hurling you through dips, barrel rolls, death rolls, and enough sudden twists to leave you either totally exhilarated or totally worn out. It was one of the most intense coasters i've ever ridden. A total juggernaut.

Rode this for the first time ever yesterday (and ride it again thanks to low queue time). We managed to catch the coaster just as it opened after some lengthy downtime. This is easily the most intense coaster I've ever ridden. But at the same time, it's also one of the smoothest riding... They did a phenomenal job on this coaster. Can't wait to go again! The only thing I didn't like about it was at the top of the lift hill, a particularly large group of brown wasps had decided to make their home there, so they were dive-bombing everyone as the trains went by. We let the ride personnel know, and they said they've got an exterminator coming later that night; if they try to deal with it now, they'd have to shut it down after just getting it open.

Looks like it's smooth as silk😀

My baby boy Sabastian rode that yesterday. He is so brave lol I Love my brave lil man so much!

Rode this last year in November for the first time, hot lapped it two times in a row with no wait. It and VC are my top two coasters in FL.

Looks amazing!

It's a good ride and has some nice airtime and an amazing drop. Still would rank Steel Vengeance above it as my top RMC as that ride is longer, does a lot more in a wood structure, and just feels wilder. It's just what often happens with Busch Gardens vs Cedar Point where the Cedar Point coasters always feel a bit more intense whether the precede or trail the Busch Gardens models - Raptor's compact layout makes it feel much wilder than Montu, Maverick is definitely more intense than Cheetah Hunt, Valravn is taller and does more than Sheikra, and Steel Vengeance is longer and wilder than Iron Gwazi. All those coasters listed are all GREAT but Busch Gardens usually favors slightly tamer layouts in Tampa that can be considered a bit more family friendly.

Insane ride. Watched this before we went on it and it still doesnt prepare you for the craziness of this thing 😂

I can still remeber that feeling of dropping down, it never gets old. Ive ridden that atleast 5 times or 6, and not once did i ever get used to the feeling!

A typically superb RMC coaster conversion; this new track system is a miracle for old, tired woodies. I'd insert a Viagra joke here, but I'm too good a person.

This ride looks sick!!! However, I don’t think it’ll beat velocicoaster Edit: I went on it just recently and it was freakin nuts. But velocicoaster still takes the cake for best coaster in Florida

This is the most awesome roller coaster in America imo... Was at Busch gardens Tampa Bay for a week... Rode it many times... It is more intense in the dark

1) I havent ridden a coaster in over 6 years 2) that aforementioned last coaster being rip ride rockit at universal I just rode this for the first time today after an hour long wait and it was INCREDIBLE, this video doesnt do it justice. i literally felt like we were gonna get flung off the track with every invert and that first drop is insane. it was the first coaster to put actual fear in my heart today lol

Looks great but steel vengeance is long and has more inversions and airtime so I think steel vengeance will still be one of the best

Looks more intense than Velocicoaster.

Watching this video in sadness knowing I can't ride it because I have a sensory issue that makes me flip out every time I hear polite applause

Me and my dad r going to Busch gardens together for a father son trip next week. I can’t wait to go on this ride and the many others and I am soooo excited!

It would have been nice if they kept the dueling function like they did with Twisted Colossus, but hey, this looks awesome

Please don’t be stabilized Please don’t be stabilized Please don’t be stabilized Edit: ok at least it’s handheld that’s fine

I just rode yesterday for the 1st time. Was incredible. The 1st drop is straight down. Really cool ride!

I had to come back after a full day of riding this a total of five times. One of the best roller coasters on the planet (and probably imo, the best RMC)!!! 1:44-1:56 is my favorite part of the ride for sure

SV is better :/

one of the most impressive coasters out there. wow. beautifully built and buttery smooth.

Finally Rode Iron Gwazi this weekend!! All I can say is I need more Gwazi in my life!! RMC coasters are next level! And front row on Iron Gwazi is absolutely next level out of this world, nonstop speed and smooth maneuvers that literally have you constantly changing direction in every second on the ride. The drop is incredibly insane too, you literally can't see it in the front row as ironic as that sounds. Absolute 10/10 coaster, I'll be back for more Gwazi in the winter or spring, it's just too hot in the summer time 😅😂. But I'd also like to add all rides in the park were up and running, it was so awesome to ride every roller coaster in Busch Gardens. Honorable mentions, Tigres back row, montu back row, kumba front row, scorpion any row, and cobras curse was awesome. Cheetah hunt was meh to me ngl lol

Rode this coaster not long ago. WOW what a ride. Way to go Bush Gardens!!! I like how you can hear the coaster getting a little air on the track in the video everytime it throws you out of your seat... 🤪🤔

Rode this shortly after it opened. This ride is on straight Beast Mode!🤘

just went to busch gardens a few weeks ago, 5 minute wait time, rode it twice. being in the front is 100x better. feels way different. best roller coaster ive been on

That is now officially a bucket list coaster for me. Wow!

I got the chance to right it today. And as was expected, it beat me nauseous, completely speed walking to the bathroom. The mind blowing experience of doing things a wooden shouldn't is more than the senses can handle when coupled with the insane speeds it shows off with ease. Everything is just straight whizzing by! And all that's constant is streaming tracks. Don't be afraid. Ride it once, and be part of the evolution of thrill rides. Crazy awesome footage!!

Rode it today for the first time. It's the best coaster I've ever ridden. And it's not even close

Rode this a few weeks ago, all I could think about was “ludicrous speed…go!” 😂

Went last summer and we rode everything but Gwazi. Rode SheiKra in the rain but it started lightning before we made it to Gwazi. Can't wait to go back and ride it!

I love rollercoasters and watched many POV vids over the years. My stomach actually went a little as you rolled over the first drop, the height and gradient combined is unreal. I hope I get to experience this coaster one day 🤞

Reading these and watching this right before I go on it while waiting in the line is not smart 😂

Just after riding 1 hybrid, i now feel as though i can feel the ride n my stomach in my mouth by watching lol

Just rode it yesterday best roller coaster I’ve ever been on

What a beautiful day that looks like. Perfect rollercoaster riding weather.
