Looks lovely, but please tell me that lovely purple paint is not fading...already??
Attraction Iron Gwazi
- Thread starter Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser
- Start date
Flying down Saturday to check out Ice Breaker, and then hitting the Platinum opening of Iron Gwazi Sunday.
I mean it was supposed to open almost 2 years ago...
How many of the hills are sharp bunny hills that will obliterate your thighs due to it going too fast over them? That is the key question I have with any RMC. Otherwise, it looks fun, if not quite as long as I was imagining. Seems like it's over pretty fast.
It’s sooo good! Most of the airtime is more floater than anything and it paces really well. A solid top 10 coaster for me after 3 rides.
So none of those painful bunny hills like on Twisted Timbers? I used to like TT a lot, but now I ride it once or twice and I'm done. It hurts too much. I don't doubt that this is a me problem, but there's nothing I can do about it. lol.
EDIT: I like everything about TT except those bunny hills. Even the outward banked turn under the lift hill does not hurt like those bunny hills. I'm not really sure why it doesn't, but it doesn't. That part is fun.
I think I'm gonna end up upgrading to platinum for next weekend when I go down to Orlando. 
Man I'd die happy if we got a hyper hybrid here.

@Crunchewy There’s one or 2 hills that have some pretty wild ejector, including the drop in the back, but I would consider Iron Gwazi the more comfortable ride of the 2.
The wave turns are really poppy and the pacing towards the end was a nice surprise. The ride feels longer than I was expecting.

In the event that anyone is going to BGT anytime soon I WILL pay you to get me one of those 90s inspired Gwazi shirts, they are one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
Can't wait to make this my 3rd RMC in May! Genuinely wonder if I will like it more than Timbers or not I do love Timbers excessive focus on airtime.
One week from today... This is going to be the longest work week of my life. I do fear that this will make me stare at Pantheon and wonder "if only we could trade..."
If you're riding today - ENJOY!!

I’d try to approach it like “well Florida has VelociCoaster and Iron Gwazi, we have Pantheon and Twisted Timbers…….and i305.”
Yeah, that's totally the healthy (and accurate) approach. I'm just greedy. As much as I love KD on summer weekends, I live 2.7 miles from BGW. I can dream!
