Busch Gardens invited the Q105 crew out to the official opening of Iron Gwazi Thursday night. I got to be a test pilot a few weeks ago and they recorded it all on video. But that was daytime... what's it like to ride Iron Gwazi at night? Had to find out!
3, 2, ... 1!
Ceremonies began with a welcome from Busch Gardens President Neal Thurman. Described as the world's fastest and steepest hybrid rollercoaster, Iron Gwazi is also the tallest hybrid rollercoaster in North America. "With 12 heart pounding air time moments with 3 inversions, Iron Gwazi is a non-stop action-packed thrill machine," said Thurman.
Fireworks and confetti...
With the push of the button, the first official riders of Iron Gwazi were frontline workers who helped get us through the pandemic.
Terrifying... but for a good cause.
Busch Gardens is using the coaster to help raise money for wild animal charities with Gwazi merchandise sold at the park.
It's time!
