This is always going to be what you have to do at BGT, I've just kinda accepted that at this point.
Attraction Iron Gwazi
- Thread starter Ghost of Pretzel Kaiser
- Start date
Probably a good idea. It had a three hour long wait at noon on Thursday. Absolutely nuts. Get rides in on Montu and Cobra's Curse too while you're over in that area, because those got hour-long lines as well.
Kumba was fine, both early in the morning on Thursday and last Friday. Never more than a 30 minute wait.
This is sad and funny at the same time. Sad because it should be open but funny because it's a total National Lampoon's Vacation "Arrive at Wally World Moment" just to see the park is closed! LOL
I had quick queue when I went, and the lines for that were long too.
We went early today, and glad we did, as no wait for anything, including Cheetah, Cobra, Montu, Kumba, Tigris and Sheikra. When we left around noon, Cheetah was at 100 minutes!
I stood in front of Gwazi for a few minutes, and in a brief interaction with a BGT employee, asked if I could speak with Mr. Wally about riding it. They didn't get the joke, but then again, the movie is nearly 40 years old!
Ladies and gentlemen, we're back in business.

I am heading back down this weekend. Fingers crossed Gwazi opens to the public in a few days!
Definitely not this weekend. They have to continue testing and train the ride ops. I'd say maybe around August 7th at the earliest.
It's here!

This one's not for the queasy: Iron Gwazi, set to open at Busch Gardens in spring 2021 includes a 91-degree drop.
