I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone more excited for gazelles lol

Your Reaction to seeing animals on Cheetah Hunt was impeccable

I love your mindset to coasters - especially how you talked about Cheetah Hunt. It really is just pure FUN! If you can’t just enjoy a coaster without criticizing every tiny bit of it, I feel you’re taking the fun of everything.

I tend to lose respect for coaster chad's that call it a family coaster. They don't understand that coasters between family and high thrill exist and have such a myopic view on roller coasters. Cheetah hunt is a moderate thrill coaster that's more intense than a family coaster like cobra's curse, but less intense than kumba or montu.

3:56 YOOOOOO THERES ANIMALS EVERYWHERE LETS GOOOOO has to be the most relatable comment ever qwhile on a rollercoaster ! + the gazelles

I just went to Busch gardens recently and it was my first time and the only other rmc I had done was outlaw run and when I rode iron gwazi it was the craziest thing I have ever done

not the gazelles 😭🤣 Really great vlog!!!

This park is amazing, when I went there it was so beautiful, Keep up the Work!!!!!

Your iron gwasi reaction was more golden this time then in your first time lmfao

1:36 - 1:38 Fr and the face makes it even funnier lmfaooooo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏

Went past week sunday and thursday, BG is a great park with awesome coasters. Sunday was a great day, with more than one train on al the coasters, short lines and lot of re-rides. Thursday were the operations very bad...all coasters (exept IG on 2 trains) on 1 train so sad. But had a great time there.

The ladys hair in front of u on iron gwazi was so freaking awesome

1:38 Thats the Gwazi cat!! I hear its always there. Its like a BGT easter egg, per se.

14:27 look at that transition

Great video! That loop around the lift on Kumba reminds me of Banshee Ive ridden at KI. That tower there reminds me of the tower or towers at Grona Lund but you stay hanging at the top for longer. I enjoyed watching!

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again the intro is the definition of Iconic

Oh, Busch Gardens Tampa -- my favorite park. My two best days at a park (December 2022 and 2023) have been at BGT. I went on the same day last month as I did in 2022, and the park was empty both times. In 2022, the longest I had to wait for coasters all day was about 10 minutes at times for both Iron Gwazi and Cheetah Hunt. Last month, the park was even emptier than in 2022, and all coasters for the entire day, including Iron Gwazi and Cheetah Hunt, were walk-ons or only a station wait at certain times. I find this park to be so incredibly beautiful because I love all the African theming/architecture and the tropical landscaping. I love the way large birds are just comfortably walking freely around the terraces. It's definitely one of the cleanest parks I've ever been to. The staff is also some of the friendliest park staff I've ever encountered. And on both of my trips, I met some of the nicest people visiting the park that I've ever met at parks. BGT is a coaster paradise for me. Firstly, Iron Gwazi, my favorite coaster. Montu, which I loved before, moved up to being my favorite invert on this latest trip. Kumba is phenomenal. I don't care what anyone says. It's forceful, intense, relentless and fun as shit -- not the least bit rough. It's definitely one of my favorite roller coasters. Its Zero G roll is one of my very favorite inversions on any coaster, and the cobra roll is my favorite cobra roll on any coaster. My whole opinion of Cheetah Hunt changed last month. I was underwhelmed by it in 2022, but my recent rides on it were great. I'll take it any day over Hagrid's, which is how I also felt in 2022 when I was even underwhelmed by Cheetah Hunt. Sheikra is a good one. Of the three dive coasters I've ridden (Sheikra, Griffon, and Valravn), Sheikra feels to be the most powerful of them. Cobra's Curse is alright, decent fun. Scorpion is decent enough for the type of coaster it is. I know that you're not a fan of Sky Rocket II models, but I've really enjoyed the two I've ridden, Tempesto and Tigris, and I did find Tigris to be the better of the two. I'm glad you got better rides on Iron Gwazi this time. I was lucky on both my trips because it was running full force all day on both of them. And night rides on Iron Gwazi are my favorite night rides of any coaster. I could so easily live in Busch Gardens Tampa -- have a flat in one of the Northern African style buildings, with Montu at my backdoor and Iron Gwazi only a five minute walk away -- palm trees and other tropical plants in my back yard, and wild, tropical birds strolling around all over the place. Hell, it truly would be a complete paradise for me.

I feel the same way about you did once you finished your visit. I actually planned to go back in 2020, but COVID pushed my trip back and I didn’t plan it until last year in December of 2022. Then, my flight got cancelled and I went last year over the summer in 2023. I had fast passes for all the rides once (and they screwed up my fast past for the single use and not the unlimited probably because I had to cancel my visit there so many times 😭), but I pretty much rode every single ride (except maybe Air Grover and Sand Serpent, but it was already taken down anyway by the time I visited), and we had to leave mid-day to go back to our hotel in Sanibel (2-3 hour drive). I definitely could have ridden more if the operations weren’t as slow and I noticed this especially on Iron Gwazi. I am not completely sure why they have very slow operations, but it might just be the workers. I was pretty happy by the end of the day because I had gotten most of the credits, but I wished I got to ride Iron Gwazi again. I rode it on the back-row right seat (or known as the magic seat), and I was blown away by it.

THERE'S ANIMALS EVERYWHERE 🦌 More rollercoaster reactions that sound like society is collapsing 😂🖤

Didn’t expect a Bojack reference on a Coaster Dash video. My fav show ever. Great vlog!

"This is so tall this does not feel like 200ft this feels like 9000 ft" - 💀💀💯🤦

Montu was my first big looping coaster, and I fell in love with coasters after riding it. Went to Busch Gardens 3 or 4 times in the early 2000s. I need to go back because it's been a long time.

Great stuff! I’m heading back to BGW and SFO this summer. And I’ll be hitting up WDW for the first time ever!

Love this! BGT is my home park and I'm there twice a month at least. Gwazi is my favorite thing to do on the PLANET; death roll me anytime, please. And Cheetah Hunt actually makes for a supreme night ride 🔥

your so lucky going to all these parks

If you're not paying for parking, the fun card at BG is worth it, even if you only go 2-3 times a year. For those that don't know, the fun card is their season pass that allows unlimited visits for the current year, except for blockout dates. It costs nearly the same price as a single day ticket. On last year's black friday sale, they had the 2024 fun card for $89.

I remember back when I rode my first dive coasters in 2018 (being Valravn and SheiKra) and I wasn’t crazy about them. Then in 2022 I rode Griffon and I thought it was great and found a much larger appreciation for dive coasters. Honestly I think what changed was I rode Griffon in the front row and I only did the others in the back. I also did the others only once whereas I got 3 rides on Griffon and front was easily my favorite. Back was fun but I feel like you gotta do a dive coaster in the front row. At that point for me it’s go big or go home. Also BGT is GOATed and I miss it so much, hope to get back there soon to ride Iron Gwazi

Nice vlog! This park is going to be my home park in a few months and I can’t wait to finally ride Falcon’s Flight but I don’t think it can top Tower or Terror or Mystery Castle

This was an awesome video - thank you! We haven't been there yet, but plan to go next year.

I visited the park last summer and the operations on Iron Gwazi were disgustingly slow. legitimately 4-5 minute dispatches…I’ve never been in the station for a coaster and waited that long. 5 minute lines turned into 30, it was insane. rest of the park was solid though, I only had like 6 hours at the park but I did get to ride everything once, rode the train through the safari area, walked through the animal exhibits, and got re-rides on Montu and Iron Gwazi (3x). SFMM is my home park so I’m used to painfully slow operations, and the crew at Iron Gwazi put that entire park to shame 😂

Funny thing about cheetah hunt a friend told me when i visited for the first time: Theres one support in cheetah hunt that OBVIOULSY is not supporting anything. It’s so far away it’s obvious. You can clearly see the support if you pause at 3:20 and look towards the track that’s going above the train you’re riding

Every time I hear that intro song, I know I’m bouta have the most entertaining 5-20 minutes of my day.

I was at the park in early December and I experienced the same thing, especially cheetah hunt. Iron Gwazi’s wait was half that of cheetah hunt. Kumba was a walk-on, but Montu had an insane wait. I plan on visiting a few times this year, so I bought the season pass. Congrats on riding Falcon’s fury. That was also a walk-on for me, but I chickened out 😂

Always a pleasure to watch. Man, Gwazi in the front was insane at the end. There was a noticeable amount of speed on the 2nd ride than the back ride from earlier. As for that cat, it serves a purpose, it eats mice and other vermin for pest control. Sometimes you'll see one or two at Cedar Point and many restaurants and bodegas in downtown city areas employ them as well. Great vid!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing and watching.

I visited Busch Garden Tampa for the first time ever last month and was able to go on every single ride that I wanted to go on and I managed to get on Iron Gwazi six times.

I visited this park once in 2019 and montu is my favourite coaster in the world

Going there next month 1st time ever. I absolutely cannot wait. Also I think the Gwazi kitty should be named "CLAWzi"

5:37 the kid starring u down 😭

Was there actually the same day you were and saw you in line for Cheetah hunt, but were a bit behind me and didn’t really have chance to say hi. But dang man those lines sucked. It was my first visit too and only got 2 rides on Gwazi as well. Also convinced my sister who is scared of roller coasters that cheetah hunts launches are only 30 mph and she believed me and mustered up the courage to ride. I told her the top speed was 60 mph after we got off lol

I am now having Gwazi withdrawal from this video.... Have to take a quick side trip to Tampa from Orlando while I'm out that way ...😊

I was there 9 days ago!❤❤❤

Iron gwazi and Zadra both have similar layouts, notice how zadra’s 2nd element also banks out at the top like gwazi, gwazi is also more focused on speed then airtime and so is zadra i feel like they have a lot more layouts in common

Iron Gwazi and Zadra are easily the two most similar rides in the world to one another.

Should have paid for Quick Queue lol

I was there the day you went! I wish I ran into you

Cheetah hunt is a great fun ride

Only reason I’m not a fan of cheetah hunt is that the hard over the shoulder restraints are some of the most painful I have experienced, but that’s just a height thing. Rest of the coasters in the park are some of my favorite in their respective models with iron grazing being my number one over all.

Yes, I was blown away!

How do you think you'll rank Iron Gwazi after those rides you got on it? I haven't ridden it myself, just curious. I wish you could've gotten a night ride! If I had been in your situation, I would have just waited for it. Often the posted wait times at theme parks is inaccurate, especially at the very end of the day. I don't know how the shuttle bus system works, but if you had 65 minute still to ride Iron Gwazi, 7:15 couldn't have been the last one. Glad to see all the coasters you rode were great though! I love seeing them warmed up after those slow rides on Arie Force 1. Have a great day at Islands!

The wait times at Busch Gardens Tampa are pretty inaccurate sometimes. I waited for Montu and it stated it was a 20 minute wait, but I ended up waiting around 45 minutes for front row…

I came here last april on a slammed saturday, so I only managed to get half the credits. This park is so close to being my second favorite in the state, it desperately needs better operations. The coaster lineup is fantastic tho, Iron Gwazi is by far my favorite coaster in the state. The worst part of my visit tho was Falcon's Fury being closed for STAFFING of all things, which was extremely frustrating considering this was just after it finally reopened from its long hiatus.

The operations is the only criticism I have for BGT. When cheetah hunt is running 4 trains and loading on both stations, the line moves really fast. But I've seen it where they only run 2 trains and load 1 station and the line is super long.

The cat 😂

Damn man

Love BGT have an Aunt down that area and GWAZI is uno

Yes, you can record with a GoPro using a chestmount or wristmount. You don’t need to ask for permission at any park, except I did have to get a slip from guest services at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

I completely agree, but it’s still tons of fun. I do prefer Zadra because of that.

I think I had a reverse trip compared to you guys… Islands waits were incredibly long this past weekend as well and not fully sure why, but I ended up waiting nearly 3 hours for Velocicoaster. However, at Busch Gardens during the week the wait times rarely exceeded 20 minutes for me, and even with the park closing at 5 I was able to get on everything I wanted except SheiKra which was closed for refurbishments 🥲. Love the video btw!
