WATCH: Busch Gardens releases POV footage of Iron Gwazi, North America’s tallest hybrid coaster

Photo from the top of a massive roller coaster on purple tracks

Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens in Tampa is the tallest hybrid coaster in North America — and the theme park just released the first POV footage from the wild ride.

The ultimate thrill ride in Tampa

Iron Gwazi has been buzzed about for months. America’s tallest hybrid coaster is modeled after the endangered slender-snouted crocodile. So get ready to scream on the ride and then educate yourself afterward about Bush Gardens’ conservation efforts.

The roller coaster is 206 feet tall and features a nail-biting 91-degree drop. Do you have the guts to ride it?

Follow Busch Gardens Tampa Bay on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram for special park updates.

This wild roller coaster attraction is the most anticipated ride of the year, according to USA Today.
