All these off-ride clips you've been posting & sharing are such excellent quality... kudos & thank you Ryan 👏 I've noticed in all the Iron Gwazi videos that the lift hill seems remarkably loud & there's a series of loud _'ker-chunk'_ sounds just as the train leaves the loading platform (eg. 0:22 )... can anyone shed a light? It could just be super-sensitive microphones in everyone's cameras, but I'm wondering if there might be some anti-rollbacks before that pre-lift mini-drop & maybe a beefier motor powering the chain lift that's just not in a sound dampening shed yet? These RMCs always get my engin-nerd brain cells firing! 👍
I can't tell you what exactly is going on, but I will confirm that Iron Gwazi's lift is incredibly loud and it is definitely not the microphone sensitivity-- that is what it sounds like, and it can be heard from both Montu and Kumba-- which are on opposite sides of the park. It's always been a very loud lift hill, and the 'ker-chunk' has always been there too, since they started doing test runs on it from when it was originally completed to now. It could definitely be a beefier motor, the lift feels fast in comparison to other RMCs I've ridden, so there might be more power there. I also do not believe IG has a sound dampening shed for the motor. As for the sound as the train leaves the loading platform, I have no idea what that is lol. Montu also has a similar sound when it's advanced into station, but much less dramatic than Gwazi.
Hey Ryan you Probably won't see this but I rode the hulk coaster and love it and plan on going to six flags fiesta texas do you think I'm ready for iron rattler
@@nickthepetrock403 Those Ibox are in fact old. The ride has been closed for years so those were probably painted years ago. Also, in Florida paint doesn't really matter as much because rust isn't really a big deal in Florida.
