Rode Iron Gwazi last week and I was not disappointed! I’m more easy going on ratings so I would call it a 10/10, but it was immediately apparent after the first ride that it’s not even logistically possible for it to be better than Steel Vengeance. It really comes down to whether the long banked hill under the lift on Gwazi is better than an entire second rollercoaster on Steel Vengeance.
I literally feel the exact same way 😅 Like yeah that element is killer and one of the best feelings ever, but I think I'll take an full minute+ of airtime and other funky elements! I gave Iron Gwazi a 9.75/10 which I feel is still really really good 😄
I feel like a lot of people are high on Iron Gwazi only because it's the brand-new record breaking RMC. Once the new coaster fanatics are over, I wouldn't be surprised if the community changes their mind and takes Vengeance as the best RMC
I only have Vengeance as my #1 with Velocicoaster as my #2. Won't get IG until later this year. I have no doubt though that I will have an amazing experience. Have had very questionable experiences at BGT in the past. I hope they fixed whatever maintenance issues Montu had that caused its trains to constantly bang loudly and shake their way across its track.
You made a lot of great points here. Like A LOT!! I’m still neck and neck with they. They’re both my top 2 out of 141 at this point. I love Steel Vengeance’s length and Iron Gwazi’s aggression.
I have only ridden Steve but as someone who has ridden twisted cyclone dozens of times I always feel like the length is underwhelming! I can see why you put Steve in front of Iron Gwazi!
Not dissing IG here, as it is absolutely incredible and my #2 overall, but you have flawlessly done what I have been struggling to do: explain why Steel Vengeance is better than Iron Gwazi (IMO), not only comparing the elements by type, but also how they feel within the context of their respective ride. It's not just that SteVe is longer, but that it's longer while also keeping the same insanity as IG. When SteVe's speed is significantly less than IG, this is masked with punchier elements and traversing through the structure, which give an illusion of speed (even though it really isn't slouching, it hits the final break very quick, they technically could have added more with the kinetic energy still left). A brilliant, well-thought-out design that goes the extra mile, whereas IG, though amazing, doesn't have that extra "oomph" that SteVe does (the wave turn before the stall is the only instance of that on IG since it's not just a standard turn). Maybe I'm glowing too much about SteVe since last time I rode it was it's opening year, but that was my opinion when I rode IG for the first time this summer.
Yo! I don’t know if you remember, but I’m just realizing you were the guy me and my pals met while you were operating ghost rider/ timber mountain log ride at Knotts! We were talking about your favorite woodies in the station lol! (Great vid, too btw 😄)
@@M-NL2 My friend @Charlie Arith shared your channel to me saying how you were the dude we met. But coincidentally, I’ve been getting you in my feed on YT shorts for quite a while.
I keep going back & forth between the 2. In my experience, Iron Gwazi is the strongest roller coaster I've ever ridden. The trick track double up & that final big drop had to be pulling -2 Gs. Since you called that flojector, I'm guessing it wasn't riding as strong for you. Iron Gwazi is so strong, that it would be too much if it were a long ride. Meanwhile, Steel Vengeance is still very strong, but not too far, so that it's able to still be enjoyable throughout the very long ride. So do I want fewer elements that are over-the-top insane, or do I want more quantity at a slightly less insane level? It's a tough call. I give the edge to Steel Vengeance currently, but the 3-hour lines compared to Iron Gwazi's 5-minute lines (on school days) makes me wonder. I've heard the theory that the Iron Gwazi layout was designed back in 2016, around the same time as Steel Vengeance was being designed, which explains the similarities. SeaWorld had to delay starting the project until they were more financially stable in 2018-19. If they were more stable in 2016, Iron Gwazi probably would have opened in early 2018.
Awesome review of both! I think I should have referred to that hill as sustained ejector instead because that's more accurate to what I experienced! Definitely super strong ejector that lasted a really long time!
I’ve been on both dozens of times (live less that 4 miles from BG). I love Iron Gwazi but if a ride is great, length is too important to ignore. How’s that for an analysis?!
Only part I disagree with is the first 2 pullouts being deadish spots since you get good positives here which you don’t really get on SteVe. Outside of that however the rest of the elements I agree with
From what you've said that you have a greater feel for Iron Gwazi than Steel Vengeance no matter what coaster you like better. (I've never been to Florida yet but I'm waiting for the hurricanes to subside and for my bank account to get bigger, but I digress) I've ridden Steel Vengeance 10 times; All in late May 2018; all but two of those 10 on SV rides were in either row 11 or 12; the other two being in row 9 and row 7 each. SV is the only RMC I've ridden (out of a total of four; the other being Twisted Colossus, Jersey Devil and Goliath at Six Flags Great America) that I never got a chance to ride the front half of the SV's trains where the airtime is more intense, especially on the double up to the MCBR where I thought the restraints would cause me to loose my junk, which although not too shabby, isn't even that big. I don't mean my balls either, since they're out of range of the RMC restraints. If I ever ride SV in the front I'll make sure to personally tuck in my junk, especially since Cedar Point isn't responsible for lost junk, and I cannot put this junk in a locker. (that's why you can tuck everything into your shorts; at least art SFGA when riding El Toro) but I digress. The bunny hill following the drop of SV does nothing but put bums in seats from advertised statistics which you obviously fell for and I'm sorry you did. But SV is still the best coaster in the world. I'll defend Sv's MCBR; it's better to be on a roller coaster from drop to EBR than it is to be in line, and if it weren't for block breaks everyone would be spending MUCH more time in line than they do already. To be clear: I'm not a fan of SV's final bunny hills; I'm too old for that kinda stuff. (I was 48 when I rode it over four years ago) But As a whole: SV the best roller coaster I've ridden (with Behemoth, Millennium Force, and The Cyclone at Luna Beach and El Toro coming after) and I can see why you think Steel vengeance is better than Iron Gwazi. But since I've never ridden Iron Gwazi: the best question to ask is this: How does Iron Gwazi compare to Zadra, since they're a more fair comparison? My guess is that Zadra has the best elements per second and that even Iron Gwazi fans would have to admit that Zadra is better than Iron Gwazi. I guess you'd have to compare how Steel Vengeance compares to Zadra for your own opinion. To be objective: If one subtracts the MCBR and obnoxious bunny hills at the end of SV: SV is it's still a longer and more complete ride than Iron Gwazi. But not having ever ridden Iron Gwazi myself: I guess I'll never know. until I ride it, and when I do I'll probably prefer Velocicoaster. 😉Thanks for posting!
AGREE - I've had tons of rides on Steel Vengeance, and I'm still blown away every time. I went to Busch Gardens last spring excited to ride Iron Gwazi, but was a little underwhelmed by it. Granted, I only got one ride in the morning (back row), but it just didn't compare. SteVe is just so much more relentless. It is a good ride, but I just don't get the hype.
Great video, great statements, overall good opinion! I’m doing Iron Gwazi tomorrow for the first time and it will be my first RMC, should I expect good thing about this ride?
iron gwazi keeps its speed throughout the layout but who really cares if the layout is short as hell? i would much rather get some great ejector bunny hills before going back in the queue instead of hitting the breaks which happen to be wayyy to painful because you go into it with so much speed.
I'm actually gonna be uploading a top 50 coasters (2022 edition) hopefully by the end of the month; I did one last year but my list has changed a lot since then 👀
Haven't done IG yet, but I think a lot of it comes down to recency bias. And for some reason it has become "uncool" to have SV as your number one. I may very well like IG better after I ride it, but I have my doubts.
They're BOTH amazing rollercoasters. I'm fairly certain a large number of people would be unanimous in agreement that RMC are building the world's most intense rollercoasters...Sorry, Bolliger & Mabillard. Yule have to take 2nd place....
The reason I feel gwazi is the better ride is the diversity in elements. If steel vengeance was like its first half the whole ride it would be better, but after the mid course you can tell it’s going for a record. Another thing about gwazi is the airtime is considerably stronger. Steel vengeance is a much longer ride, but only the first half is elite. I also personally think the death roll is better than the mosasaurus role.
@@pecemakor917 I have. I've also ridden SteVe and it is the better coaster in my honest opinion. Yes, Gwazi is more aggressive but SteVe has more elements and is a lot more airtime filled (if I'm not mistaken it even holds a world record for this).
You cannot understand the insanity of SteVe second half from the POV. The second half going through the structure is the best part of the ride after an already elite first half.
I think the only way to beat steel Vengeance to make a steel Vengeance but make it longer and better. If iron gwazi was longer i think it would top it. It has a better drop and to me at least better flowing elements. But it lacks the airtime. At least for a 200 foot coaster. Its kinda sad that twisted cyclone gives similar amounts of airtime in a 100 foot tall layout than a coaster thats double the height
iron gwazi is the new toy, once the new wildcat rmc is done, people are gonna say that’s better than gwazi. steVe is definitely better than gwazi & i don’t understand how people can say it isn’t other the fact that it’s brand new & shiny
Idk why but when I went steel vengeance wasn’t strong. It wasn’t slow, I got 12 rides it was 90 degrees and rode in every row but the finale didn’t hit or this stall, got 0 air in the top hat and the airtime just wasn’t that strong. Gwazi was much faster was much stronger airtime so that’s why prefer but maybe it just wasn’t that good during my 3 day visit. I actually think vengeance has a better layout but all the elements just didn’t hit besides the roll, outer bank, wave then, and off axis hill.
anything over 135 degrees is technically an inversion. Rcdb is disputing that, as they've taken away those inversions for Iron Gwazi & Storm Chaser, but they're being inconsistent & unclear as to when it becomes an inversion. Hydra's cobra roll is two of many examples of inversions that are flirting with that 135 degree mark, but nobody questions those.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan Yeah it's pretty annoying lmao, and to be honest it's not like it will affect the ride experience in any way if they classify them as inversions or not!
After riding both its easy to say quazi is great ... but SV is Superior! In fact, SV is the greatest on earth! More air time & much longer ... it'll be hard to beat SV ... quazi tried but fell short! Get it? Fell short 🤣
I'm gonna be honest, not a fan of IG steel only lift hill. I feel like the point of a hybrid coaster is that it is wood and steel all the way through. Kinda cheating on the hyper hybrid concept there.
Yeah I also found it weird that IG uses way more steel than most hybrid coasters; there's like actual steel support columns that reinforce the wooden structure in a lot of areas instead of just more wood like Vengeance has. Definitely feels like cheating 😅
I just love pure aggression and in my opinion iron gwazi just does it better especially with the facts you fly through the layout without losing speed.
You should know by now that most enthusiasts just bandwagon opinions. Steel Vengeance was sensory overload. But shockingly I think Fury is better than both.
IG clears so easily and it’s not even close. SV might have more airtime overall but Gwazi’s is on another level. The wave turn alone is better than any element on SV
Steve blow’s Gwazi out of the water every single one of Steve hills including the bunny hills Is a gut punch. Gwazi has a better first drop that’s literally it after that it’s a stomp. Steve is the only coaster I’ve ridden with literally no wasted track
Yeah I would say his opinion is SLIGHTLY bias to the quantity BUT the quantity is still quality. It's all just preference ya know? Oh and the best coaster of the 2 is neither. Give me Grizzly at California's Great America any day if you really feel like you're about to die LOL
I finally found someone who isn’t bias to to the new coaster rush
It’s not because it’s new iron gwazi is just was better
This is so tru Steve is better
Skyrush >>>> Steel Vengeance
But yet you guys would rank velocicoaster as the world's best coaster 💀
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3odif someone likes velocicoaster the best then that’s fine lol there’s no 100% objective way to measure this

This ain’t a hot take. Steve is just a lot better lmao
IG clears so easily and it’s not even close. SV might have more airtime overall but Gwazi’s is on another level. The wave turn alone is better than any element on SV
Only coaster you will give 10/10 to until you ride the Voyage :D
Hmmm we'll see 🤔
IG any day for me. Steve is super repetitive and gets boring for me. IG is pure intensity the whole way through. Quality > Quantity.
I agree with quality over quantity but in my opinion, Gwazi isn't any higher quality than Vengeance. That's just me though
@@M-NL2 respectable haha everyone likes what they like
Steve blow’s Gwazi out of the water every single one of Steve hills including the bunny hills Is a gut punch. Gwazi has a better first drop that’s literally it after that it’s a stomp. Steve is the only coaster I’ve ridden with literally no wasted track
i don’t think it’s a matter of quantity over quality, they’re both high quality
Yeah I would say his opinion is SLIGHTLY bias to the quantity BUT the quantity is still quality. It's all just preference ya know?
Oh and the best coaster of the 2 is neither. Give me Grizzly at California's Great America any day if you really feel like you're about to die LOL
