I like Tiger, I like the colors of the train and the layout. It just looks great, My friend is riding it at a band field trip, so they will tell me which is better. I think they will say Tiger

Both layouts are basically the same. I'm gonna have to go with Tiger because I noticed 11 spots of air on it when I rode it. I was not too impressed with Gwazi, though. The loading time was terrible and the near hits didn't seem that cool. Both were extremely rough, though. They were some of the roughest woodies I've ever been on.

Tiger was slightly smoother than Lion. Lion felt like a pre-Mean Streak. It was a ok ride. The drop was really unique cause if you looked straight ahead it seemed as though the other train was heading right for you and split at the last second. DD was better by far so i was kinda dissapointed.

I liked Lion during the day, but LOVED Tiger at night.

WHA!? Gwazi is not that rough for a woodie. I ride in the back all the time and never have any trouble. Anywho, I think tiger is better and every one I've talked to agrees.

I'd have to go with Tiger -- it's a hair smoother and with a shade better layout than Lion. Though, granted, it's an incredible coaster -- keeps you flying through the turns and there is some great airtime, and it isn't as painful as most other wooden coasters that twist around so much.

Gwazi IS very rough, but it is still good. I've only been on the Tiger side, because the lion was closed when I went. By what most people are saying, I guess I'm lucky ther Tiger wasn't closed as opposed to lion.

I like Tiger too, even though they are similar layouts it seems I get more airtime on Tiger.

Gwazi is my only woody. If it is rough then all the other woodies must be VERY smooth.

Anywho...I would say Tiger is the best...it gives me more airtime.

Wow, that's surprising to hear...rough? I've always heard good things about GCI's, but I've already learn not to base my judgement on "hearing things from other people" but to go out and try it for myself. I will definetely go hit both sides when I visit BGT either next summer or the following summer.

But if I find one of the sides (tiger or lion) too rough and unpleasant, I'll skip the other...

I found both sides to be very disappointing but the better of the two sides was Tiger because it gives more airtime!

I like lion better its not as rough on you as tiger is and both sides have the same amount of air time spots considering there almost the same...the only difference is tiger is a little bit longer but not by much.

I was last there Christmas Day 2000. I initially loved Lion and thought it ran better all during the day, but something happened. By nightfall, I loved the Tiger side more. Fickle me.
