Gwazi is a dueling roller coaster at Busch Gardens Africa (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay) in Florida. Its maximum speed is 50 mph and includes 6 fly-bys (portions of the ride where the trains pass each other in opposite directions). The name Gwazi originates from a fabled creature with the head of a tiger and the body of a lion. Gwazi includes almost 7,000 feet of combined track and both the Lion and Tiger have different track layouts.

Gwazi opened in 1999, only a few months after Dueling Dragons at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. Dueling Dragons and Gwazi are currently the only true dueling roller coasters in the world. Gwazi, however, holds the record for most fly-bys on a dueling roller coaster.
