Rate American Eagle

[Maggie&meSFGAm?]

Here's your chance to rate IRON WOLF at SFGAm. The categories are roughness, enjoyable, how long is the line on most days, and your overall score of the ride.

Roughness: 7-I give it this due to the fact of the banging that goes on after the corkscrew.

Enjoyable: 9.5-This ride is very enjoyable for me to continue going in line especially when the line is empty.

Line: 8-Whenever the park gets really packed, I usually go to IW for the fact that it less crowded than other rides.

Overall: 9-I would definitely miss this ride if it was gone.

So, what would you rate IW?

[sixflagsguy5]

Roughness: 8.0-The ride is pretty rough, but for some parts of the ride it's a good thing.
Enjoyable: 8.5-Usually pretty enjoyable, last time I rode it I was too worried about my cell phone that I ended up getting my head banged up.
Line: 9-Usually not over a 20 minute wait, but I don't think it's worth more than 15.
Overall: 8.5-All of the things above average out to this, and those are the main things that count in rating a ride.

Roughness: 8.5-Lot Of Banging... Makes my ears hurt

Enjoyable: 5-This ride is fun, but not that fun.

Line: 7-line never ques into the turn arounds. its just the straight line

Overall: 1-I would definitely not notice if it was ever taken down, seeing as i usually dont even attempt to ride it. just like shockwave, road it once, and said NEVER AGAIN

[Mr. SFGAm]

Roughness: 8-- It was definately rough last weekend, enough that we only wanted to ride it once.

Enjoyable: 6-- Most times its a fun ride, all depending on how many times you slam your head.

Line: 6-- Unless it's mid August, the line for it is never over 1/2 hour.

Overall: 6-- I would miss Iron Wolf if it were to be removed. Even though its not the best ride in the park, it offers a different experience than any other coaster at the park. Depending on the day, it can be awesome, or terrible.

Roughness- 9- Other than the exit out of the corkskrew this ride is incredibally smooth in my opinion. It's very intense with a lot of forces, but not rough.
Enjoyable: 8.5- At night this is my 3rd favorite coaster in the park, the back half in the dark is one of the coolest things.
Line: 10- Unless every coaster in the park has a long line (i.e July or August) this won't have one.

Overall: 9- One of my favorite coasters in the park despite it's gross appearance. This coaster just needs a little T.L.C like some new trains and maybe a coat of paint.

[Coasterchick92]

Roughness: 8- Some times its pretty smooth (but not the smoothest in the park) but if you ride it more than once u get a MAJOR headache (tryed it once, never gonna do it again)

Enjoyable: 9- over all its fun (especaly when its packed and its the only ride with a short line)

Line: 9.5- very short lines except for the few days where every ride is packed.

Overall: 9- this is one of my top 5 coasters at the park so i have to give it a good rating

[Coasterfan88]

Roughness- 5 - Though I must admit it is fough, IW is very enjoyable if you just remember to keep your head back (they say that for a reason), and right before the dive to the corkscrew press your head against the right side of the harness. If you remember that, it really isn't rough at all and is very enjoyable!

Enjoyable- 10 - Since IW is a little bit older, the trees and plants have really grown around it, making the end super intense with heavy g's. The quick changes in direction and short dives make it totally insane and awesome!

Line - 9 - When the line gets to be really long, those switchbacks in the concrete room can be REALLY brutal, way too close together. Fortunately, the line isn't very long, and it is easy to get a (must ride) first seat!

Oaverall - 9.5 - Probably my favorite ride in the park along with BTR, I just love compact looping steal coasters, even though it's a bit rough, the insanity of it makes up for it. I would be devastated to see this ride go!

[scbb11Sketch]

Roughness - 10 - I hate stand-ups. They never give a smooth ride.
Enjoyable - 4 - Not a "fun" ride like Raging Bull or Batman
Line - 9 - Short lines because no one wants to ride!
Overall - 4 - I wouldn't mind seeing it leave, but I ride it anyways.

[Danhockey04]

roughness - 5, it is rough, but not too bad
enjoyable - 9, it is a very great stand up
lines - 9, it has great short lines throughout the year
overall, 8, it is just a great ride, thanks B&M

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Roughness - 2. It's not that rough to me, especially after the two times I rode it on opening day. Truthfully, I didn't bang my head once.

Enjoyable - 9. It's very fun. I like the layout. It's definitely not as good as some stand-ups though like Mantis.

Line - 8. I like how the line is almost always really short. When it's full, I usually don't wait because it's not totally completely worth the wait.

Overall - 8. Great coaster. I love the feeling of standing up, and the airtime I get right before the corkscrew in the back row.

[FParker185]

up until around 97-98 it would have been a solid 10 all around (maybe a few bumps here and there that it's always had post Block brake area), but it degraded fast, then they changed the restraints.

Still one of the best standup layouts around though, the only other standup I've ridden that can compete with Iron Wolf back when it was smooth is Riddlers Revenge and that'd be a pretty close race.

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

i think it's okay. I don't really like the bumpiness i've felt on it before, but i like that it's a stand up coaster.

[Dmrbug]

I went on IW on Saturday and it was a very painful ride. When it was new I loved this ride. I have a feeling this will end up like Shockwave for me. I loved it to death when it was new. Rode it until it hurt. Now I remember SW as being a painful ride even though I rode it tons of times as a new ride. I have decided to never ride IW again so I can preserve my memory of it being a fun ride.

If I where to rate it when it was a new ride it was a 10.

This rating is based on my last Saturday run.

Roughness - 2 - its getting old.

Enjoyable - 5 - 1st loop still the best loop, rest of the ride I just wanted it to be over.

Line - 10 - walkon back row. can't beat that.

Overall - 4

[FreghtFestFreak3]

Roughness: 5 it can be rough butm its not as bas as some rides

enjoyable: 8 i dont really ride it that ofter but when i do, its a fairly good ride.

line: 7 most of the days i am there the lins is pretty long but sometimes (like opening day) there realy isnt that much of a line

Overall: 6 it would have gottan a 7 but that loud crack i heard on opening day dropped it a point. it really does need a coat of paint

[m-force 4 ever]

Roughness-5 my rides on it season have been pretty smooth except the turn after the corkscrew =(

Enjoyable-8 I love this ride, its intense and its fun.

Line-7 most of the time its pretty short unless its completely packed in the park then everythings crowded

Overall-7 I like this ride (although it could use some new trains) and I hope its around for a while.

Happy 15th Iron Wolf!

Now its time to rate RAGIN CAJUN.
For this time, please pick a ride for next time. (next time) I will tally the votes, and that will be the next rated ride. If any two rides are tied, I will the pick the ride that was voted first. You can choose any SFGAm ride. It doesn't have to be a rollercoaster.

Roughness: 8 -The is ride can definitely be rough at times especially when you are spinning.

Enjoyable: .5 - I'm not a fan of this ride because it just doesn't do much for me.

Line: .5 - This line never moves fast enough!

Overall: .5 - I'm definitely not a fan of this ride. I will skip it everytime I go. I rather go on something else.

Next Time: I choose Demon

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Ragin' Cajun:
Roughness - 2 It's not that bad. I kinda like the roughness unless it hurts, like when I was on it opening day, I hit my funny bone on the bar.

Enjoyable - 10 - I like the spinning a lot, and the hair pin turns feel awesome. I also like the little 'airtime hill' at the end of the ride. I can't keep a straight face when I'm on Cajun.

Line - 5 - I personally think it's worth a long wait sometimes. I like the ride a lot, and I like how usually when I'm there the line is only 10-30 minutes.

Overall - 8 - Good ride. I'm glad SFGAm got it.

[Mr. SFGAm]

Roughness: 3... I don't think the ride is rough at all, its jerky because of the tight turns it takes.

Enjoyable: 10... I rode this ride for the first time on opening day, and to say the least, I loved it! I actually like this ride more than Deja Vu.

Line: 5.... This one gets bad, which is why I never got to ride it last summer.

Overall: 7... I like this ride alot, I also am very glad SFGAm put it in.

[Coasterchick92]

RAGIN CAJUN
Roughness: 7- its really rough and i get headaches on it

Enjoyable: 5- I dont hate it, but I dont love it either

Line: 3- I litterally feel like passing out when im in the middle of this line on a hot day, there is no air and no water and for some reason I stand by big guys with no shirt on and there sweat glands working double time

Overall: 3- its not my least favorite ride in the park, but I've only ridden it once, and all I know is its not really worth the wait in my opinion, in a few years when no one will go on it anymore then I'll ride it.

Next time: american eagle

[sixflagsguy5]

Roughness:3 Very Rough and I don't like the hairpin turns that much.
Enjoyable:2 No airtime or inversions, just spins and tight turns.
Line:3 even on empty days it still has a line. Not worth more than a 5 minute wait. The only reason this coaster should be there is because it's small.

[m-force 4 ever]

Roughness:2 not very rough at all, theres just a few spots that bang your elbows.
Enjoyable:6 I like the the second half a whole lot.
Line:4 it can get pretty bad, so if it is I usually just won't ride.
^there is a moment of airtime, it has a small bunny hill right before the last turnaround.

[scbb11Sketch]

Well, considering I rode Ragin' Cajun 3 times yesterday, I'll rate it.
Roughness - 2 - This ride is not rough, and when it is, that's when it's the most fun.
Enjoyable - 10 - This is in my opinion the most fun ride now at GAm. It's great to just spin with your friends over and over again. The best is when the final brakes don't stop you so you spin on the final hills.
Line - 8 - The only time I've ridden it has been at the very beginning of the day or when the park is empty, so the longest I've ever waited is 10 minutes.
I love this ride!

[Maggie&meSFGAm?]

Please remember that if you want a specific ride to be rated next time, please say so.
Next time: blah
If not, its fine with me. I just don't want it being only me choosing the rides. Am E and Demon are tied right now for next time.

[CoasterDude12-2]

Ragin' Cajun

Enjoyable-8-A nice family ride, short but sweet
