teenageninja Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I am concerned that Ice Breaker and Pantheon are going to have AWFUL capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Iron Gwazi.... How long did it take you guys to think of that name? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 BOSS: What should we name our 2020 coaster? WORKER: I don't know, boss. It is iron, and we are redoing gwazi. I'll have to think about that. TWO YEARS LATER WORKER: I got it! Iron Gwazi! *awkward silence* *boss slaps worker* 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Are iron and steel the same thing? Also 91 degrees on that drop is going to be amazing. We are going to Disney in 2020 and I’m trying to find the means to sneak in Busch Gardens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 https://www.wptv.com/lifestyle/taste-and-see/live-seaworld-orlando-to-make-major-announcement Looks like a mellow Pantheon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 ALRIGHTTTT I didnt freak out over Orion and Im not freaking out about Iron Gwazi....BUT.. They waited all that time to still not release a POV and the name ended up having Iron in front. Bummed cause I didnt excpect this kind of thing from Busch Gardens. Positives, The color looks sick and so do the trains (where tf did we get an alligator outta this tho) and without a doubt will be in the top three if not top two if not the best. It'll have to fight that Intamin @Maverick44 Shouldnt be hard to do that since itll probably be down on Gwazis opening day lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 So they're calling it Iron Gwazi- Gwazi being the head of a Lion and the body of a Tiger- and they're theming it to a crocodile.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Name sucks but the ride looks amazing. I am not sure it will out do StVe but still looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think Iron Gwazi looks really cool, however, they could have gone with a “croc” name to fit the theme (but I still like the name and logo nonetheless). Texas Stingray looks nice as well and that twisted out and back layout reminds me of Raging Wolf Bobs and Big Dipper at Geagua Lake (I never got to ride them, but I have seen POVs on YouTube). And finally, what is with this triple-launch coaster craze? I’m not sure why this design is taking off, but I guess I can’t knock it until I ride one of them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Seems to be quite a few nice new coasters for next year. Now if only I could get to all these parks to try them all out! Heck, I haven`t even been back down to Dollywood since Lightning Rod opened. (That will change in a couple of weeks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By general standards, yes. These rides will leave much to be desired in the capacity realm. But by launched coaster standards, I'd say 18-20 riders per train is about par for the course. That having said, if a new multilauncher would come to KI sometime in the forseaable future, I hope it doesn't have the spike/switch track element. While they definitely look like cool maneuvers, I am not sure its worth having less than three-train operation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
