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, too, feel it's better at night. Still not the ride for me though.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
I liked Z-Force (for all you kids- that's the coaster that stood on the spot where Iron Wolf is- it's now rusting away as Flashback at Magic Mountain) much better than IW. That ride was totally unique and fun! IW never impressed me, even when it was new.

You'll be lucky if they were to cram any other coaster in there. That spot's pretty much only for Iron Wolf or Z-Force if it returns (extremely unlikely), unless the park can cram an S&S Screamin Squirrel or something small like that in there.

1. Theres no chance Z-Force will return.
2. Thats a bigger plot of land than you think.

Sprockets whole lift is tires, Eagle, Viper, Whizzer, and Demon use them to get in the station also (or at least to move them faster to prevent the ride from having a block set-up). The whole station and every brake at Cajun has booster tires to push it though the station/ speed the car up if it looses too much speed. Bull and BTR use feed wheels (which are very similar to regular tires) to push trains through the brake runs/station.
Booster tires are a large part of Revolution, Jester, and River Rockers operation also.
yeah, I rode it once this year so far and I found it to be many times rougher than in the past, even as recently last year, it beat the hell out of me on my one ride, it was to the point where I'm not sure I'll ride it again this year, and generally I dont mind rough coasters.

^ I Hear ya. I rode it on the 30th of May, and it's not the same. I always try to get the first few rows, hoping that it'll be less ruff. But anywhere you get that head knocking. It really stinks.
