About the Book

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Gwazi is a dueling wooden roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in 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 are named "Lion" and "Tiger". Often, the two tracks are called "yellow" and "blue", (yellow being the primary color of the Lion trains, blue being the primary color of the Tiger trains). It includes almost 7,000 feet of combined track and reaches speeds of 50 m.p.h. Both tracks have similar but nonidentical track layouts. The roller coaster opened in 1999, a few months after Florida's only other dueling roller coaster, the Dueling Dragons at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. Gwazi holds the record for most fly-bys on a dueling roller coaster, with six. A fly-by is where the two roller coasters pass each other in opposite directions at high speeds, giving the psychological impression that the two will collide. It is the largest and fastest double wooden roller coaster in the Southeastern U.S. The ride experience is often known to be rough, with much jostling and bumping of the riders. Despite this, Gwazi is a unique design which consistently remains one of the most popular in the Busch Gardens line-up. Gwazi was the last wooden roller coaster built by Great Coasters International to use PTC trains. Starting with ROAR! at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the company has used in-house designed Millennium Flyer trains on their wooden roller coasters. After the Wildcat at Hersheypark received Millennium Flyer trains in 2007, Gwazi and ROAR! at Six Flags America are the only two GCI wooden roller coasters to use PTC trains. In early March 2010, Gwazi was spotted with what appeared to be Millennium Flyers on the track with water dummies in them... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4652926
