Iron Wolf
Is anyone still interested in Iron Wolf? It seems like no one really talks about it much.
I like Iron Wolf, except for the corkscrew, it kills my head.
Next SFGAm trip: June 5th
I could care less about this ride! Personally, If i wanted a headache id just shake my head wildly!
Trips Planned 2009: ?Unsure?
Hey.. it may break my neck..It may be rough on "MY" parts...but it's still thrilling.
back when IW was smooth, it was easily one of the best stand up's around, however around 00 or so for some reason it suddenly got very rough (was actually right before the new yellow restraints, and the new restraints made it worse), and since it's a hard ride to ride, but I still enjoy it.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
Its still one on my favorites. Gotta love the tight turns.

well, i'm really short, and my head gets banged around a lot. I've learned to move my head to one side of the restraint. This system makes it better. If it's in the queues you can see then i don't want to wait for it though.

Still my favorite stand-up.
It's a great ride, though I would say Chang is my favorite stand-up. I'd ride Wolf when it has a 30 minute wait.

I like it. While it's rough, it still packs a good amount of thrills, and I love how the track goes through the loop at one point.
Eh.......I got nothing.
You got that right. I don't ride it as much simply because I like my jewels and don't want to do them any harm. If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.
I still find it enjoyable. And I use to not really care about the head-banging but those new restraints made it pretty painful last year.

I think if you're ridden it enough times, you know where all the turns are, and exactly how to shift your body. My first few rides were horrible, but it being a stand-up coaster, I kept riding it. I probably lost the talent this year, but I use to be able to shift my head just enough not to have it wack against the restraints, so I thought it was pretty sweet...
The Original...Juparis
The new restraints killed any interest I had in it.
Yeah, I've ridden it enough to know how to prevent my head from banging. Sometimes it still does, but it's not that bad at all.
Like I've said before, every year i give it a chance, every year i place my head where it's supposed to be, and every year I come off disappointed! And what's scary is that the headbanging isn't even the most painful part...

it wasn't bad last night. A bit bumpy, but it's always like that.

Iron wolf is great, everyone forgets about it cause its tucked away in kiddieville over there. Come on, its the first one designed by B&M *cough*raging bull, batman, superman *cough* Plus, it is a movie star

Iron Wolf usually gives an amazing ride at night. Ever since my first ride on it I have been addicted to it. I remember that day really well to...
I was in second grade and I haven't been to the park in a while. It was Raging Bulls opening year too. Everyone was running to Raging Bull and we went to Iron Wolf  . I got of and my legs were numb because all the blood flowed to them. We them rode Batman and I got off really dizzy. After that I was ready for Shockwave and Bull!!
So every visit I try to get a few good runs on it. And I wouldn't say it isn't "forgotten" because usually, it has a good 20-30 min line. Batman is the one that people forget about
I've never been on it at night. Sounds like fun though. If only the park was open during NIGHT time on opening day.
"Oh My Gosh, She is such a whore!" - heard behind me exiting Raging Bull.
WHAT?!?!?! BTR usually has a very long line!
Personally, after riding IW and RB on Friday, I'd say that IW, for being a rough ride) was actually proportionally smoother than RB. RB was surprisingly bumpy and somewhat rough, hopefully that gets better with the weather. Meaning that, RB was still smoother, but IW wasn't as rough as usual and RB was way rougher than usual.

^Give Bull a few weeks and it should run better..

They should take down IW and build a better stand up but that probly wont happen for a while since the park is focusing more on families.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.
