Iron Gwazi will be the highest hybrid roller coaster in North America at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Selling at 20 meters, the coaster will also be the fastest and steepest hybrid in the world.

"Iron Gwazi is the evolution of a classic wooden roller coaster into a modern icon," said Stewart Clark, president of Busch Gardens. "A new legend is emerging from the original Gwazi bones, reaching heights and speeds faster, offering the sensations of a higher level that our roller coaster fans are thirsty and expect from Busch Gardens."
