Iron Wolf

by **Drkstarboard** on June 8th, 2006, 6:08 pm

Iron Wolf is running one train. You can clearly see that they are doing major work on the other one because all the restraints are off and everything. So my friend and I got off Iron Wolf yesterday and noticed that all the restraints are in an open crate and all the handle bars are taken off all the restraints. The thing is that they all looked burned (where the handle bars are supost to be) and black like someone burnend them.

Anyone know what happened?

No idea, I despise this ride so I never go on it anymore

They most likely were heated to help get the bolts out of the handlebar assemblies. New restraints will be installed soon.

Good. I'm guessing the other train will get new restraints when these are done. Although I'd refer an entire new train, this is good too.

Don't hope on it only one train is getting rehabbed this year ( ala Bull's Teal train). If you see the Maintenance guys working try to thank them ( if they can hear you ) as their pay raises (which they rightly deserve) are helping to put the park back on track.

Bad news that its getting rehabbed. I was hoping they could tear it down and build a Churro stand in its place.

^ Stop it, it could be ALOT worse.

I dont think the trains need a rehab but then again I always ride in the back. Two weeks ago I got on RBs teal train and noticed the new harnesses. A ride operator heard me tell my friends and he said the rest of the trains are getting new harnesses this year too. I dont know if the other trains are getting rehabbed or just a harness replacement.

Iron Wolf is a great ride in my opinion, and has run great this year.

^yes it is. It's by far my favorite standup.

by **Galvan** on June 9th, 2006, 12:04 pm

I wouldnt say its the best Stand-Up (Better then That P.O.S Mantis) But there are definately worse (Mantis)

I like Iron Wolf and think it still delivers a good ride.
And i think most of the workers at the park do a excellant job, but management needs to get ther head out of there butt!!!
These train rehabs should have done along before the season opened!!!
Off season (which is very long for a seasonal park like SFGAM) is when you take care of maintence issues like this, i hope the new group ruinning the park fixes these problems so next yeat ALL rides are up and running to full capacity when the season starts.

^ Dont you think they already know about the offseason? I mean seriously, before you bash just about everything Six Flags does, do you put any forethought into your ramble? :roll:

Great? Isnt that stretching it a bit?

^Not really, I thought it was pretty damn good. I had low expections of it but it surprised me. Not the best ride in the park but it's still a good ride.

For a 16 year old, first of ITS kind, high maintenance roller coaster, that was arguably rougher when it was first installed than it is now, yes, In My Opinion, it has run great!

by **Jackluver18** on June 9th, 2006, 4:48 pm

I think it's a reincarnation of Shockwave if you ask me, it's horrible.

by **Stickmassacre** on June 9th, 2006, 4:58 pm

^Well it has awesome in the backrow. No banging at all. So maybe I have to ride mid and front to get a complete opinion of it.

by **Jackluver18** on June 9th, 2006, 5:02 pm

I was in back row and it hurts like crazy

by **Timmy179** on June 9th, 2006, 5:02 pm

Not that it runs great. You said that its a great ride.

I rode it once this year, it was pretty rough in my opinion.

When you learn how to spell MAINTENANCE or any of the other words you misspelled then you might have an argument until then zip it!!!!

How about you have mommy pour some apple juice in your spill-less cup, put on your bike helmet, and take it easy mongoloid.
