Busch Gardens Tampa Tops Off Iron Gwazi With Dizzying New Photo

Busch Gardens Tampa has topped off Iron Gwazi's 206 foot tall lift hill, and to mark the occasion released the above photo capturing the moment the purple track was placed. The ride is the tallest Rocky Mountain Construction coaster in North America, and one of the most highly anticipated new rides of the 2020 season.

With the apex in place fans of the park are able to see just how stunningly tall the ride looks as it towers over the park. The ride uses a steel lift hill that doesn't require an awful lot of supports, making the first drop look even more precarious. The ride's 206 foot first drop is 91 degrees, yes one degree beyond vertical, and the trains will be propelled to 76 miles per hour as a result of it.

Midway Mayhem has shared some additional photos of the ride with the lift hill being completed. Check them out below!
