Iron Wolf
Haha everyone hates IW so much. I think it's hilarious... sure it throws you around some, but I think every park needs one ride that's just notorious for giving you a good bashing. I'll ride IW every time I go.

being a short person, it tends to bash me around a lot. I usually walk off with a horrible headache, and/or my ears in horrible pain. Even when I stick my head out, or do the thing where you put your head to the right side through the corkscrew until it jerks, my head still hurts. That's why I hate to ride it.

Okay, answer me this, unless you're on crack, which you probably are. How is bashing good? Bashing as in, you know, pain? There is only one kind of pain, BAD! So there's no such thing as a "good bashing". Gosh, some of these people, I don't know.  Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.
^^ Obviously you've never ridden Iron Wolf back in the day when it was smooth. You need to respect the original B&M's dude. Sure its a head jerker, but if look past the jerking and look at the sharp turns and the trees flying past your head, its a great ride.

I agree, though I'm sure they could solve the roughness somehow. New trains perhaps.
^ Definatly. Intamin/Giovanola stand up trains SUCK.
Its a B&M, bring in the B&M TRAINS!!!!! Dallas Cowboys 5x Super Bowl Winners
I dont think new trains would make the ride much better, the whole ride (track, trains, structure, foundation) all seem to have some sort of issue and I dont think the park right now is going to invest in completely overhauling the ride because the cost would outweigh the return. Although I do think that if its going to be there it should at least be painted.
I personally love Iron Wolf and wish B&M still made more rides like it, just wish my glasses would agree with me  .
Um, yes I have ridden Wolf when it was smooth. The very first time I rode it I loved it, because why? It was smooth! But now it's become the pain fest that I hate. Look, you can't look past pain, OK? I just don't understand how people can like pain. Don't deny it. You like pain. You wouldn't like Iron Wolf if you didn't enjoy the intense pain you endure while on it. And liking pain make you a freak. Or not human. Perhaps you are both. Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.
^ Intense pain? I don't know about that. Sure it's gotten a little rougher, especially recently, but I find it's still a great ride. Just because it's a bit bumpy doesn't make it a cause for intense pain.
 /  wow...
I agree with molly's momma though. Dallas Cowboys 5x Super Bowl Winners
I rode it yesterday for the first time in awhile and I want to point out that it was one of the smoothest Iron Wolf rides I've ever had, the back half of the ride was as incredible as ever with the speed and smooth turns. Good Stuff.
Oh, and you need a little roughness in a coaster or everything will become as boring as Vertical Velocity or Raging Bull. Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro

It's intense pain to me. Anything that causes you (me only I guess) to have to sit down for like 20 minutes afterwards trying to rest up and heal your head is intense pain. And that's what happens to me when I ride Wolf. Okay, if it doesn't happen to you, great. I'm happy for you. I wish I were you. Can we switch bodies?
A little roughness? Heh, maybe Wolf was being nice to you that one time, because it's never "a little rough" when I ride it. And besides, if a little rough is what you call Wolf on average, then that means I don't like coasters that are a little rough. And by the way, V2 and Bull are far from boring. To me it's because they're nice and smooth and I can concentrate on enjoying the features of each ride instead of the distraction of how I'm getting hurt. That's what I like in a coaster. Nobody should like pain. I am so sick of all these people bashing great coasters because it doesn't hurt them. Yeah, that sounds intelligent. Whatever. Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.
^I'll like whatever I want on a coaster thank you very much. And just because you think V2 is a great coaster doesn't mean I can't disagree with you. If you like coasters nice and smooth then awesome, that doesn't mean I have to bow down to your vast coaster knowledge.

So we rode IW yesterday, let me say it was the smoothest IW ride I have had in almost 2 years. It was smoother than Bull when the train is full, hope that it will continue over the next few weeks.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
It just boggles my mind how anyone human can like pain, which is whether you are in denial about it or not what you receive on Wolf. I heard some people talking about Wolf being rather smooth recently. I hope so. But the last few times I rode it, it gave me a lot of pain. I don't think I would trust Wolf to have an uncharacteristically smooth ride ever again because of too many bad experiences. Ooh, I figured it out. I'm talking to a bunch of aliens. What planet are you guys from anyway? Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.
^^Seriously how old are you? Like 8, MAYBE 9?
Just cause we like Iron Wolf doesnt mean we are "aliens" or like pain, it just means we can look past the pain and enjoy a classic. Not sit on a forum trying to diss people about thier coaster preferences. Dallas Cowboys 5x Super Bowl Winners
Tell him
So IW has been unusally smooth lately?
Pain or no pain, I still like Z-Force much better than Iron Wolf, the ride that replaced it.
It's good to hear IW has been running smoother lately. When I rode it this year, I was actually surprised how much rougher it was than 4 years ago. But now I'm thinking maybe it's because it was raining all day when I went. I was almost 11 when it opened and I still love it.

I don't know why but this made me laugh. But actually, maybe my retarded comments are what made me laugh and this an expected response for them. Sometimes the things I say I look back on and think, uh oh, lay off the crack, man. Seriously. People can like pain all they want. It's true. Go ahead. I'm sorry I "disssed" you. Hee hee, look. I have a signature thingy um, thing.
You didnt "disss" me, you tried!

Do you guys like Z-Force or Iron Wolf better? Though I never had a chance to ride it, it seemed pretty neat.
Flashback? Let's just put it this way. It won't be missed when it's gone.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.
Never been on it, but, in the long run, I think that Iron Wolf is better for the park.
