Gwazi Roller Coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

In Tampa, Busch Gardens offers thrilling coasters and awesome rides.

In Tampa, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has Gwazi, the ultimate in wooden roller coasters. Gwazi has two separate tracks on its massive wooden frame, making it the largest dueling coaster in the Southeast. The ominous click, click, click sound of the car passing over the wooden planks as it crawls 90 feet to the first drop will make you clutch my lap bar before you careen downward at over 50 mph. The lack of shoulder restraints make you feel that if you lose your balance and leaned forward, you would tumble out.

Busch Gardens also has the Montu, an inverted coaster that whips around a 60-foot-vertical loop and pulls nearly 4 Gs. Unlike in most coasters, the best seat is in the back. Because of the way the car takes turns, if you sit in the left corner of the last row this coaster seems to snap your spine into alignment.
