Iron Gwazi, formerly known as Gwazi, is a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida. The roller coaster is currently under construction and is being built by Rocky Mountain Construction, scheduled to open in 2020. It will feature RMC's patented I-Box Track technology utilising a portion of Gwazi's former support structure.

Upon opening, Iron Gwazi will claim several records, including the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Florida, the tallest hybrid roller coaster in North America, and the fastest and steepest hybrid roller coaster in the world. [1]
