These updates are awesome but I have a question... since there is a TON of structure to be built, is it because they are waiting for the heat of the summer to go away before doing more structural work?
Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022
- Thread starter MakoMania
- Start date
That is part of it. There are also a lot of rain/thunderstorms during the summer in Florida. There is also the factor of the park having stuff going on with prep for Howl-o-Scream and various other events. They probably don't want construction with Gwazi to be too disruptive to the other scheduled events and large scale construction will have a big impact on the backstage infrastructure even if it isn't in public parts of the park, so they might be waiting until a less busy season before scaling up the construction. I am sure they have a target date and they have a ton of time left...

Those two aren't expected to be done until 2021.

Off topic- That would be a bummer! Is epcot worth it without that extra coaster?
On-topic this thing look good already! Cant wait for the construction to pick up.

The problem is it only really works if you know the ride used to be called Gwazi

A little weird if they'd go for retaining Gwazi as part of the name if they're throwing a crocodile theme onto this. Did the fabled creature with a tiger's head and a lion's body fall into a watering hole and get eaten by a robot croc? I'm not bothered by it, though.

Excited for the coaster, but I’m not a fan of the name. I really hope that ‘Iron Gwazi’ is just a placeholder and they go for something more appropriate, like Tamsah (Crocodile in Arabic).

to bad they didt took the time to make it look like a real rmc with the correct supports and rails and stuff. No limits is capable of doing stuff like that.
in this video it looks a bit meh... but im sure once its finished its gonna look amazing
