2021 will be introducing many new coasters due to the outcome of 2020. We have seen many
new designs being used. We even saw new prototypes introduced. But, I will be comparing 2 of
the most anticipated 2021 roller coasters. But the question is, does Iron Gwazi finally
have an equal match? Let’s get right to it!
I will compare the two coasters through a series of several categories. I will start
off with intensity. Stay tuned till the end to hear the winner.
Both of these roller coasters will obviously be intense. Picking one will be a challenge.
Putting my prejudice aside, I think Iron Gwazi will be more intense. Iron Gwazi focuses on
rapid transitions and showcasing speed while Kondaa seems to focus primarily on airtime.
We see this intensity with the wave turn, the first inversion, among other elements.
I could see the argument the other way around especially with the reverse cobra roll, and
the insane profiling on Kodaa but in my opinion this will go to Iron Gwazi.
Next up, I will compare the theming. This is yet again another category that will be
tough to choose. Personally I am going to give this one to Kondaa- here’s why… It’s
theme just makes more sense. It’s obvious that it is themed to a cobra, while it took
me some time to realize Iron Gwazi was an alligator. Both these coasters don’t really
focus too much on theming but rather thrills. And they both really only showcase their theme
on their trains. I am hoping we see some in-queue theming for Kondaa because it has a lot of
potential. Up next is airtime. I kind of touched on this
earlier in the video, but I will talk about it again. If you heard, I know Kondaa will
have more airtime. It is known that it will have 15 airtime points- being the most abundant
in it’s finale. While on the other hand, Iron Gwazi is known to only have 12 airtime
points. Iron Gwazi doesn’t focus as much on airtime, but will shine in a later category.
Now, let’s talk speed. This category doesn’t focus on statistics, but rather which one
has the best feeling of speed. Personally, I think Iron Gwazi wins this category. I think
this because the pacing looks a bit better. The reason I say this is because Iron Gwazi
focuses on more low to the ground maneuvers. We see this in the spaghetti section also
known as the finale. Also, Iron Gwazi transitions through its elements faster- at least in the
testing footage. But, I’m not saying this category is a crush in any means because Kondaa
still hauls. Now, let’s talk about duration. Again, this
isn’t based off of statistics, but rather what leaves you the most satisfied on that
final break run. I think it is quite obvious that Kondaa will win this category. Likewise,
I will give you reasoning for the statement. I think this because it contains more airtime
hills which will make it feel more complete. Yeah Iron Gwazi is a more complete layout
with inversions, airtime, and low to the ground turns, but Kondaa has more airtime hills and
just appears more satisfying. Kondaa definitely looks more re-rideable.
Finally, I asked my instagram which coaster they thought was better and to my surprise,
Iron Gwazi won. If you want to vote on these polls then follow my instagram account.
Personally, I think Kondaa looks better mainly because of its airtime moments. They look
to be quality and quantity because they appear to have a lot. It looks very close. This choice
was not certain- it took me a while to research to come to this conclusion. Some of the other
2021 roller coasters look great too and if you want to see me compare those, then check

looks better to you. And for sticking till the end, I will reward you with one last montage….
