Hello. The year is halfway over.
I have been hearing that Iron Gwazi has been testing daily now. It would usually test Wednesdays early morning before the park openings.
I can understand the COVID impact was so huge on SEAS that an understaffed BGT won't be enough to open Iron Gwazi during the spring window.
Meanwhile, Ice Breaker was supposed to open Memorial Day, then it got delayed.
I think it is corporate's decision when they want to open the ride. And not opening it during the summer is a missed opprotunity.
When I was there, ride ops was understaffed on Cheetah Hunt when only one station is operating.
I am hoping it opens soon. But the constant delays and lawn ornament jokes is making lose faith. I guarantee at the next earnings call, they will say nothing about it, or they can silently delay it along with Ice Breaker, Pantheon, and Emperor until 2022 with no set date.
It could open in the Fall but it won't likely since BGT never opened any coasters during the fall in their history.
If Busch Gardens is still understaffed and those annual passes expire, it will be frustrating.
