Gwazi reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Gwazi, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa. (The minimum height to ride is 48 inches.)
Written by Justin Kermgard According to African legend, the Gwazi Lion, with its superior strength, is locked in an intense battle over territory with the Gwazi Tiger, known for its cunning and superior speed. Each coaster has a distinct theme that symbolizes the different personalities and environments of the ferocious cats. Gwazi lion’s territory includes lava rocks in an African desert atmosphere, while the Gwazi tiger claims the lush landscape and cool streams of Asia.

I love this coaster. It's fast and intense and never seems to let up. My only dislike is the long load times and the fact that they rarely dispatch the Lion and Tiger at simultaneously. - brian newsome We sat in the front of the tiger side & I LOVED it. Very fast, and I was shocked at how padded the seats were. My brothers are 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 7, both of them fit in the cars with ease (which is odd). - Annette Hatch This coastr was great! i dont know why but it reminded me of the boardwalk bullet. - Steven D It's very rough and rattly, even by woody standards, but still good fun. We got a walk on and rode both sides one after the other, not something I'd recommend unless you don't mind risking a severe battering followed by a headache! - Peter Coulton Ow! Ow! Ow! Where's the aspirin and the heating pad? Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but I've never been able to ride both tracks in the same day because I'm too worried about developing Parkinson's when I get older. Enjoy it and then move on to the steel coasters. - Tim Hillman I thought it was great. Yeah it rattles you about but wooden coasters are meant to do that! If it was a steel smooth coaster it would seem a lot slower. Don't get on if you just ate and also both sides are exact same! 9/10 - D H Rattled me around so much I ended up with a headache... most wooden coasters do though. Good if you enjoy wooden coasters. - Terri Pierce Great ride with the new trains. - Tyler Bell A good ride for older kids to adults younger kids won't like it because of how much it rattles you around. - josh morgera I only got to ride Tiger as Lion was closed on my visit. I thought this was a good coaster but would definitely have appreciated having the other one running at the same time. It's wooden roller coaster rough...not at all the roughest I've been on. - Carl Stovall A fun ride. Its a rough one, beats you up a little bit but you have to expect that from wooden coasters. The airtime was suprisingly good. Although rough, its still enjoyable. - Formula 40 The ride was fun, but I only got to ride each one once because my ride partner that I was with can't stand jerky coasters. - Bradley Keith More attraction and restaurant ratings:
