Info
Gwazi was a wooden dueling roller coaster located at the Busch Gardens amusement park in Tampa, Florida. The name Gwazi originates from a fabled creature with the head of a tiger and the body of a lion. Accordingly, the two sides of the roller coaster's track were named "Lion" and "Tiger". Often, the two tracks were called "yellow" and "blue", with yellow being the primary color of the Lion trains and blue being the primary color of the Tiger trains. The ride, which reached a maximum speed of 51 miles per hour (82 kilometres per hour), utilized over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of track when taking both sides into account. Though both sides were similar, they were not completely identical.
