coasternut Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 ^ What does your statement mean John?? I'm flying to Tampa tomorrow to spend some time there. I'd be good with "technical rehearsals." I've done that before at this park and Magic Mountain too. Please advise - thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 It means that you can look forward to a fun-filled day riding Kumba, Montu, Cheetah Hunt and Sheikra and while you're in line for one of those you might be able to watch an Iron Gwazi POV on your phone. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 In my defense I've not been to BGT since 1994. I wasn't tall enough to ride anything noteworthy, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 That’s a whole new level of unnecessary marketing. Unless they’re still dealing with their payment issues with RMC, might as well just open the ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looks great, especially the "death roll" and wave turn/90-degree bank under the lift. Based on this video alone I'm not as sold on the last few elements after the stall, but I have faith in RMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looks just as good as the other big RMC's! I see some Hakugei bits, some Twisted Timbers bits, and the death roll + the turn/flip into the diving stall should be pretty awesome. I'm hoping everything goes right to open this coaster on time whenever they announce an official date. Can't wait to visit for the first time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Im not judging a ride based off the pov, but it looks way better then I was expecting and the ride looked longer as well. Based on the couple pics I have seen the ride did not look long at all. I was expecting Goliath at SFGAM but it looks way longer then that My excitement factor just went up on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Agreed with Zach. . my first thought too was "I see some Hakugei elements" - and that dive / death roll thing looks like it will be THE element that really sings on this ride. looks great!

pianojohn Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Glad we got a video, but I have a pet peeve. It's 2020. This footage should be in 4K or at the least 1080p. OR....they should have hired Robb to shoot it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I know the video was overlaid with typical cheesy coaster music, but the lift doesn't seem to be obnoxiously loud like other hybrid conversions. Steel Vengeance is full of a ton of rapid transitions and short bursts of ejector airtime. The whole ride feels like the back half of Storm Chaser to me, to an extent. Iron Gwazi looks like it doesn't have as many of those intense elements. I see a lot of somewhat typical overbanked turns. The shorter ride also makes it less of an endurance challenge. I have a feeling I'll like Iron Gwazi a lot more than Steel Vengeance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looks great! Can't wait. Also, guys remember: don't rush to judgement over a POV. We've been down that road many times before and the ones who complain a new coaster looks slow, etc are usually wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I thought Iron Gwazi was going to be another good addition to an already great lineup and this POV doesn't disappoint. Can't wait to get back down to BGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternut Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've been at Busch the past 4 days (would've been 5 except for the hurricane / tropical storm). Every time I pass IGGI - Iron Gwazi, it's calling my name and taunting me. I really looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
