Right before Busch Gardens reopened after closing due to COVID-19 they put Iron Gwazi on hold and wouldn’t commit to an opening date. SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc., who owns Busch Gardens, announced that since Iron Gwazi was still under construction before COVID-19 and was originally scheduled to open in 2020, will be delayed to 2021. The Icebreaker roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando will also be delayed until 2021.
