Oh, there are some bad rides that are worse and more painful than Iron Wolf I can think of like Texas Giant, ARM Mega Bounce, Santa's Village Typhoon, in my opinion I have to say Maverick, Dartron Downdraft, Wisdom Sizzler if you ride it too long, and the Ninjas at St Louis, and Over Georgia.

^Give me both Ninjas and Maverick before Iron Wolf. Now The Dragon at Adventureland on the other hand...

^The thing that makes the ride awesome is the theme in the queue followed by the remains of the parks old house of mirrors as the exit.

Blocking off the entrance with a game stand does not make it less noticeable. Superman like I said my last trip report badly needs paint as it is very faded and being at the front of the park rides like Superman and Raging Bull need lively colors. It has been 7 years. I doubt Eagle will go backwards I think that is just wishful thinking. It would be an awesome way to start 2011 and even better than Chang coming here. never got over the fact it will remain just a 13 year old stand up.


From looking at Superman, the top of the ride is the only thing I can see in which you say it looks faded like the loop, but to me it looks more dirty than faded. It looks like it needs a power washing instead of a paint job.

They could probably float through a year or two with a power wash, But if you notice where the supports are covering the other track, there is almost no fading there.

Something I think that needs it from last visit is Iron Wolf - the area around the lifthill - where the employees walk up their or the maintenance people. It's very rusty. I'm not talking about the ride itself though as I see nothing wrong with the ride's paintjob fading.

This morning, my family and I were driving around near Naperville, and I saw something interesting. I don't know if what I saw was really what I saw, but here's what I saw. (If that made sense.)

There were three pieces of unpainted steel. One piece was a triangle shape Intamin style track piece. And the other two looked like flat pieces of track that look like wild mouse type track. Sort of like Whizzer's track.

The truck (I believe) was moving south. So I'm not positive. That COULD be MACK track, or Zamperla, or Euro-Fighter track.

But, I guess we'll see. I don't see that track going to GAm since it was moving south.

I hope the next roller coaster is a Euro Figter, or Floorless! None of this Mack Wild Mouse stuff!

We would NOT get a MACK Wild Mouse. That would be more stupid than adding the first.

To tell you the truth. As of right now, I just want something enjoyable for the 2011 season. I don't care about a wild mega super dooper looper chang amazing B&M Intamin Vekoma sooper dooper awesome-licious coaster.

That's a mouthful. I would be happy with a nice high-capacity flat ride, or a small coaster like a Euro-Fighter. Even a Spinning Coaster is cool. They do seem very fun.

The only way I can see SFGAm getting a new coaster, is if we LOSE one in return. Preferably Demon or Iron Wolf.

I don't really want to see it go, I just don't care if it left. I'd rather lose that than whizzer. But Iron Wolf will always be my #1 choice.

If we got a Maverick-esk ride I would love it! Maverick is such a good ride, it's in my top 5 roller coasters!

An Intamin looper like that would be awesome. Just what we need, a speedy, good capacity, high thrill ride.

Maverick is just extremely overrated.

(And yes, I just resurrected this thread)
