Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will officially launch the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster, Iron Gwazi, on March 11.
It is North America’s tallest hybrid coaster, taking riders from a 206-feet-tall peak down a 91-degree drop and reaching top speeds of 76 miles per hour.
Iron Gwazi is Busch Gardens’ tenth coaster.
Riders will experience a dozen airtime moments, including three inversions, while racing along more than 4,000 feet of steel track.
"The incredible anticipation for Iron Gwazi is shared by both our guests and Ambassadors, and we are beyond excited to open this amazing coaster," said Neal Thurman, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Park President.
"Iron Gwazi is an impressive addition to the Tampa skyline. Combining classic elements of a wooden coaster with a smooth, steel track will provide thrill seekers with an unforgettable experience."
Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction, the newest addition at Busch Gardens has a wood and steel hybrid coaster design.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay offers 300 acres of attractions including thrilling rides, an AZA accredited zoo with thousands of animals and seasonal events all year.
