Iron Gwazi is nonstop from the moment you drop. The first drop is massive, and the inversions are so smooth.

Iron Gwazi is an incredible ride from start to finish. The first drop is intense, and the speed never lets up. The dive roll is one of the best moments — quick, smooth, and completely unexpected. Definitely one of the best coasters out there.
