Gwazi (Lion) Front Seat on-ride POV Busch Gardens Tampa

[kimpelpins36]

are they extremely rough?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@kimpelpins36 It is known for being one of the rougher wooden coasters, but it's not as rough as it used to be after they replaced the old PTC trains with Millennium Flyers.

[lmarie720]

I can not wait to ride this in April :)

[MissPink1022]

me too!!!!!!

[bohrokthunder]

what coaster is 1:04

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@bohrokthunder That's SheiKra. 

[vamplover011]

This will be my SECOND REAL ROLLER COASTER EVER that imma gonna ride :)

[hellomrsunshine1]

BEST WOODEN ROLLER COASTER EVER!!! ITS SO AWESOME!!!

[msx500]

i went on this when i went to America last year, it was my first time riding it. It would have been so fun if it wasn't so rickety.

[badassmarkviii97]

Going to go on it now can't wait to ride!!!! Woo!!! First getting something to eat first starving!

[ErnaneBarros]

I loved

[xxsk8ergirlxx305]

I got stuck on this ride

[skaterplayer2]

I like Tigger better

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Xmantoo00 Well the park says they're mirrored & GCI says they're mirrored, but what do they know. ;D

[1981AdamP]

LION IS THE BEST!

[freepepsicola]

I rode this in February and I LOVED it. It's really fast and so much fun.

[DreamForeverr1]

This was my frist roller coaster ever. smfhh lol

[2biodude2]

COASTERFORCE, i want your opinion: is the lion or tiger rougher?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@2biodude2 They're mirrored tracks, so they're both just as rough.

[KrashDubstep]

Both the tiger and lion rides are horrible.

[TheRiseagainstfan]

i rode lion yesterday, and it was the fastest, craziest wood coaster ive been on.. but it broke down and we got stuck for like 30 minutes..

[Montauk44]

whats the difference between the tiger and lion? also which one is better

[MsCreativeBeauty]

No one goes on the tiger side it gives you whiplash.

[awsome6423]

this is fun

[AshGleek98]

i love this ride i cant wait to go on it again!!!

[brookexxnicolexxmona]

What's the difference between Lion and Tiger?

[jumpergirlem]

Super fun. Rode Tiger and Lion today.

[iiHateYuhh]

I'm going here soon, I just wanted to know which track is better xD

[teedoffatu]

@LucyAndKristy im going july 30th...cant wait ti ride the cheetah hunt

[kaledean1]

im a little scared to go on this. my parents went 4 times and each time it was brokedown

[brickan2]

The drop seems a little bit too short, don't get that speed u want on a miner.

[BruceDaOldSchoolHead]

I went on this ride in 07 and it beat the living shit out of you. It was fun only to watch the facial expressions of your family and friends.

[brondzBaLLZ]

good job keeping the camera still. i rode that and i could barely see straigt

[LukePhillips1883]

Good ride, made my neck and head hurt like hell though!

[Shippou011]

I went on this with some friends for a field trip after we were all tired and had headaches.

Bad. Idea.

Never ever ride this if you already have a headache, lol. Or are in pain. It makes it ten times worse.

But it was fun.

[danceshock14]

GCI trains would make this soooo much better... (:<

[xXxL3W15xXx]

Went on both of these recently, although they are very much a boneshaker they are still worth doing. 6/10 for the ride.

[Megaman33570]

Free trip to the top!!! --> 0:48 <-- Hurry up and click it!

[kapowshow09]

I freaking LOVE this ride. It was my first rollercoaster, and I rode it just this March after they installed the new trains to it... It was very exciting, it ran smooth, and I loved every second of it! Me and my friend are supposed to go this Friday and we're going straight to Cheetah Hunt then this. If it starts raining then, I will be sooo mad! Lol. :)

[Lucassqr]

The tracks of the Lion and the Tiger are the same? 

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Lucassqr Not exactly in that they are mirrored.

[lampshades120]

i think i liked the tiger side better cuz the sharp turn on the lion side hurt me : D

[gatorloganuf]

video tape one about tiger.i only go on lion:)

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@gatorloganuf We've posted the Tiger side on this channel yesterday.

[kittyisabella]

i waz soooo afraid when it waz my first time on a roller coaster!

[determinedbrown13]

OHHH SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[daveyjay85]

Great video. Really shows that it's a true bone shaker. You come off with a headache, a couple of broken vertebra and a few less teeth. Good fun though!

[sis1516]

is this the TIGER or the i think LION side you rode

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@sis1516 This is the Lion side.

[namemydoglola]

This ride is NOT fun. It PAINFUL. I got off the ride with a bad neck and a headache. They should've given me a free neck brace...yeesh

[AlexisHollimanmusic]

i got on the lion it was funnnnn

[LateNightCable]

It's hard to hear the screams of pain over all the wind noise! Osama Bin Laden should have been sentenced to ride Gwazi for life, lol!

[kittyisabella]

i luv dis ride i went on it 2 timez in da ride the lion ride had a short line and da tiger ride had a long line

[xxxTaylorxx3]

This ride is so bumpy you can barely tell what's going on

[nhojwemorejrj]

I, along with most members of my family, have been riding Gwazi since it opened. My wife and I, both senior citizens, have ridden many coasters across the country (including two versions of the historic Cyclone) and this one ranks among the best of the woodies. Sure, it's rough even after the recent makeover, but that's what great woodies are all about.

[Girmissescupcake]

All i know is that the yellow one is much MUCH better than the blue :3

[wrobinson7]

It was fun, but it must have been built by Chrysler. It felt just like riding in the back of a 300C.

[mochmaster]

this is like the scariest ride it creeks so bad sounds like its going to fall apart

[SugarBlast101]

This was the Lion (:

[fargenface]

Most wooden roller coasters will be riggidy and jerky a little, but there still lots of fun!

[tonyterrytyler1]

this ride suks looks like youll snap ur neck on a bar

[picklechick9]

try riding this when you have to go pee. :P i rode it and thankfully it didn't turn into a water ride. awesome ride. hurt my neck though.

[bigpboy1012]

If I'm remembering correctly, the Lion train is yellow and the Tiger train is purple. This one was yellow.

[jenzica]

I thought i was gonna die on this ride...seriously thought it was gonna come off the track haha. So rickety!

[KelleyTheAmazing]

the new seats are much more comfortable, but i went april 1st and we got stuck on the ride for 30 minutes.

[Vebrotube]

This is, hands down, the best woodie coaster ever!

[SoulSilverEevee14]

Lion :D

Today I went on both. When I went on Lion the line was long and tiger had no one on it :P So they closed Tiger. --shows lion is better :)

[99jakerules]

did you film this at night or in the morning?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@99jakerules It was filmed in the evening.

[kelvinthehippie]

It's tiger (which is also my favorite!)

[xxxTaylorxx3]

This ride is worse than it looks. I'm AMAZED this person held on to their camera. Damn! I'd ride it again, cause I didn't get whiplash but idk. It was alright overall.

[jessocarroll]

Most painful roller coaster I have ever been on. Fact.

Women, look after your boobs!

[bladess3]

How old is it ????? And it looks kinda like it would hurt ur neck

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@bladess3 Gwazi opened in 1999, but the coaster had a complete makeover, including brand new trains, during the winter & it's supposed to be much better now.

[Jonathanok100]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom You can see one of the new cars at 2:00 in the corner- they must have already been testing it out.

[rockfilmers]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom yeah it is. I went on last sumer and got a major head ache, and then I just went yesterday and it was amazing how much smoother it was. I still wouldn't call it smooth, it's still a little rough, but in a good way. Its not bumpy and I was even in the back. You can actually feel all the airtime instead of just bouncing around. (I went on Lion only because Tiger was closed)

[DjCPM718]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom its not.... i went on it yesterday. omg it hurt! lol

[joegirl123456]

@bladess3 It does hurt your neck and back, it hurt my back when i wwent last year, i had to sit for 5min after

[shoppaholic613]

@bladess3 They juust refurbished the trains, its a lot smoother and better than it used to be!

[OnThePavementFilming]

@bladess3 1999 and it used to be worse but the new trains help keep the pain down a lot for me at least aha

[shaqman145]

@bladess3 It's 12 years old, they replaced the trains with new ones and the ride is MUCH smoother.

[abcbassabc]

@bladess3 This one can give you a head ache.

[loxyvene]

@bladess3 I went on it yesterday, it destroyed my back and neck! And it looks alot older in person!

[dudeimamudkip]

@bladess3 It started operations on June 18, 1999.

[animationdork]

i spent an hour on this and it was freakin insane. and u r riding the lion

[xPsLxInFecTionZx]

the fact that its made of wood doesnt bother me at all. but the fact that this was by force my first roller coaster ever scared the shit outa me! i was losing it so bad that when i got off i noticed that i was grinding my leg against the cart so hard that it left it bruised n bloody. but im glad to look at this video n say "i survived this!" this roller coaster was awesome n im much appreciated that it doesnt go backwards or spin. I AM NO LONGER A COASTER VIRGIN! :-)

[dnc612]

is this ride that bad? i think its awesome... :/ am I the only one? stop complaining 

[Juli2011Arg]

The worst rides I have ever been on... my head felt so bad...it was horrible!

[crazyco95]

people need to stop with commenting about how wooden rides hurt their backs so much and they just hated the ride...well its your fault for riding it. its made of wood! what do you think its going to feel like? If you can't appreciate a work of engineering art such as this, the worlds most elaborate wooden coaster, then why are you watching a video by abunch of people who do?

[littleangel38]

Is it safe to ride when its so bumpy?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@littleangel38 Yes, coasters are safe to ride.

[rollercoasterfreak36]

@littleangel38 all woodies are bumpy!

[Jonnybowden0]

@littleangel38 it is quite bumpy, but thats makes it more fun :D

[freakostar13]

NEVER AGAIN.

i think i got a concussion on this lmao

[BulletBikeFlameFlyer]

Hey CoasterForce, what is the roughest coaster you've ever been on?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@BulletBikeFlameFlyer Son of Beast at Kings Island.

[LahVeeSharr]

I love this ride

[alisonissemperfi]

People who are talking about how rough it is.

They recently redid the whole coaster to give you the smoothest wooden roller coaster ride you get get.

[BEAGLE1226]

its better now.

they improved the cars on the coaster, its smoother now

[TheMercifulUnicorn]

i like the liger. it lives off magical powers

[dittleesierra]

very fun, almost peed.

[coastermadab]

Riding this coaster is amazing at sunset.

[ammaswetzinger]

THAT'S TIGER! Lion it's yellow and Tiger it's green B)

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ammaswetzinger Lion is yellow, so this is not Tiger.

[Jmarley912]

The only woodie i've ridden is robin hood, although this looks much better - can't wait to ride it in easter!

[MrSpeeddemon18]

tiger is better

[maryisthebestever]

you're a great camerman!

[BEAGLE1226]

is this lion or tiger side?

[Hieagandaus]

I went last November,it was raining the night before I guess and it was cold that morning we rode Gwazi (lion) and it was rough!

[87symi]

@Hampsey83 thats probably y the next time i go im going to get on it. besides i have to get over my fear of heights

[87symi]

@Hampsey83 everytime i go to busch gardens i cant even look at sheikra let alone ride but i swore to my cousin that next summer im going to get on it

[87symi]

i hate this ride so much but i get on it anyway. My cousin said that if you can't handle gwazi then you can not handle Sherika

[sparton04]

good old fashioned wood coasters beat the crap outta u guarenteed or ur money back!

[ryaninflorida1]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom thx I'm going to busch gardens in a couple day sand wanted to know bc I've never been there b4

[ryaninflorida1]

People r sayin in the comments like lion and tiger. Is this two coasters or something??? Someone plz respond!!!!!!!

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ryaninflorida1 This is a dueling coaster & one side is called Lion while the other is called Tiger.

[eriggs1228]

@ryaninflorida1 Gwazi in the African Language means Head of a Lion and a Body of a Tiger!

[FullCollapseOnImpact]

watch the son of beast (with loop)

angriest woodie ever built.

[theCODxPRO]

@FullCollapseOnImpact one it doesnt have loop anymore 2 it is not still running

[Jemdt3121996]

@theCODxPRO It never had a loop

[87symi]

i always hated riding this ride. There weren't any good bar restraints. just a seat belt and a bar

[juicyredapple]

trick is to sit forward on a woodie. Dont have your back or head against the seat. worked for me anyway after riding a woodie 11 times in a row!!!

[TheBlitched]

This ride looks very fast and cool. But it also looks very rough :D

[oneworldguy]

WOW! Now THAT'S a ride!  COOL!

[Hieagandaus]

This is the only wooden coaster in Florida that is operating!

I cant tell if Lion and Tiger are colliding either,not like Dueling Dragons.

[BradBWatyt]

this ride beat the heck out of me but i still love it... i think sombody could fracture their arm from this ride

[tatsurider]

i love tiger but its so rough it gave me a headache .dont get me wrong tho i LOVE this ride

[ryanneb2010]

tiger is best =)

[BEAGLE1226]

i keep thinking its gonna fall any minute lol

[jennyzcool99]

Tiger, 'nuff said

[ThrillRider247]

worst wooden coaster ever... they need to bulldoze it.. i hope the new trains do something...

[JTGROWPRODUCTIONS]

i hate this ride i got a headache just watching

[jimmyjimbo72]

This looks like it gives some amazing airtime.

[browngaara1]

Wow Weird Cuz I Didn't Even Hear ANYONE Scream... Thumbs Up...

[Muchacha208]

no doubt that this ride will give anyone a migrane

[Loujuju85]

this coaster made me cry my eyes out!! allll the way around it lol

[xpallodoc]

Some guy riding before me decided it was a good idea to pick his nose on this ride. It really slowed me down when I had to wait for the Busch Gardens crew to clean his blood up before I could ride

[fancykid06]

omg lol!! im only 10 years old n im short n skinny, and i got on gwazi 3 times !!! lol once i got on the ride i waz screaming AH!!!!!! STOP THIS RIDE!!!! STOP STOP STOP!!!!! lol once i got off the ride my whole body was hurting lol.

[steven4210]

This was a great rollercoaster at Busch Gardens but it was my least favorite just because it was so bumpy and not a smooth ride but it was a rush and it was ok

[ZOMGrabies]

i swear this ride goes on for foreverr coz you just want it to end so much D:

[ashleymfan]

Gwazi isn't scared, the problem is that it gives you a terrible "shake"

[DudeDie222]

Put the damn Flyers on!

[ColeSprouseXxXxX]

you may find that you had a bad head ace because this is an old ride and the wood makes the cart move and shake but its not only the wood it could be the wind speed and direction that may cause this.

[cloverpuppy1091]

omg i though this was a baby ride and i got on it and it was fun but i was so scared and i was only 8 years old!!!!!!

[sheeny51361]

I know I hate this it gives you a headache soooo bad

[baryboi1997]

worst ride ever

[afifanatic14]

i absolutely HATE wooden rollercoasters!!! STEEL COASTERS ARE SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! =)

[WasLilChrisnowbigish]

By the far one of the worst rides i have ever been on. i think i broke several bones and dislodged a few organs. i wanted to get of after the first drop, it was fucking brutal. i think it be more comfortable to be dragged acrros a road on my face by a car

[GreenLantern501]

@WasLilChrisnowbigish man dont complain.. this is nothing compared to Ghost Rider at Knotts Berry Farm. You'll literally wish you can turn back time so you wouldnt have to experience all that pain. Psyclone at Magic Mountain was even worse but thank god that scrapped it in 2007.

[P33NOB]

@WasLilChrisnowbigish Sorry, i still think the big dipper at Blackpool is better! LOL. Best ride in America is the space one at epcot or kraken at sea world. ;)

[CaptSunshineEternal]

i dont like this ride

[donsgw]

When I went here on a field trip, I went on lion. Baaaad choice. I don't even remember any of the ride after the first drop, I think I had like a mini-blackout or something. Is tiger any less whip-lash inducing?

[CaptSunshineEternal]

i jus went on the tiger and the lion is the same i think

[xpallodoc]

@donsgw Tiger is worse, has less drops but beats the crap out of you better. I hate this ride for how hard it slams me around

[sammydenyc]

Dang! This looks thrilling! Except it appears very rough... :(

[xpallodoc]

@sammydenyc just go on it once haha but be prepared lol

[lyricalxlullaby]

This is the first roller coaster I ever rode. :)

[mrbramsden]

i got off this and felt dead. my head hurt so bad :|

[gh3rules1353]

@mrbramsden Same here too. Then i come back to Wales. Then was diagnosed with a medical condition to do with my eyes and brain called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. :'( I'm 14, and was diagnosed 10 months ago now, when i was 13.

[Nick94956]

@mrbramsden I know !! I went on it at like 2:00 and my head still hurts

[theimdoinurmom]

i hate how its wood it jerks sooo bad

[Grayson91xp]

your riding lion....lion is yellow, tiger is blue =)

[Kinzer007]

Itz gun b so mo black on black crime

[rippenjoe]

i had a headach from this ride

[zombie3599]

me too

[squishy300]

I like this coaster ^^

It's not my favorite, but I like it :D

I just looove Busch Gardens *thumbs up* xD

[GreatCoastersfan]

Gwazi is a lot of fun, I just wish they would Duel more often. :)

[poopr1221]

I honestly love this coaster. Great fun woodie. I think part of the fun is being totally jostled around.

[CeletialDarkness]

i prefer liger and tigon. liger= lion + tiger, tigon=tiger + lion.

[Nickjluvr1020]

i didn't like gwazi it's too bumpy and my head hurt really bad when i got off!!! it's the ONLY ride that got me a bit sick =S

[evasmc]

@Nickjluvr1020

same here

this is very bumpy rude
