Opened in 2022, and combining all the nostalgia of a wooden frame with a modern steel track, the multi award-winning Iron Gwazi has been hailed as one of the most exhilarating rides in recent years. North America’s tallest (and the world’s fastest and steepest) hybrid coaster, it plunges riders into a jaw-dropping 91 degree drop from a height of 206 feet (63m), reaching speeds of up to 76 miles per hour (122 km/h).

Offering a dozen airtime moments and three inversions, it certainly lives up to its formidable reputation.
