So, is Predator all that IW gets for FF?

by **Trailblazer Tony** on October 8th, 2007, 8:17 pm

From what i've heard, yes

"The Predator" has tons of green lights around its station and fog along the walkway to the stairs leading to its Station.

Predator sounds also play out of the speakers throughout the line.

Better than just a "Iron Werewolf" sign. :wink:

I only go to Great America once a year, and I have not yet been on Iron Wolf. It was right before the park closed, and it was either that or a second ride on V2.
Next season I'm hoping to get a season pass. Then I'll never have to worry about what rides I've been on again.

Predator sounds better than it has been in the past (Iron Werewolf)

When I went yesterday, Iron Wolf's line was completely full and spilling out into the midway. I must not get out much, but I've never seen it this way. Is it that way a lot during FF?

I also noticed that on the ridership board thing, that for the season total it said a gazillion. Just thought I'd point that out.

All of the lines are awful during Fright Fest.

Eagles line was full, Bulls was two queue houses and out, Viper was past the bridge. Lines are always bad this time of year, especially on a Saturday.

On Friday it was walk on's to >10 mins all around, longest line I saw was probably 20-30 mins or so for V2 which I didnt ride and about the same for Rajin Cajun (ditto)

That would have been the day to go I guess...

This is about Saturday.

I think that's packed. Is 35,000 not that packed?

by **rct2wizard360** on October 14th, 2007, 6:31 pm

35k is packed, but definatley not PACKED.

by **cycamps** on October 14th, 2007, 6:32 pm

Has anyone been on a day where it was PACKED?

by **DvuRulz** on October 17th, 2007, 6:45 pm

What kind of an argument is this? Packed or PACKED? lol. Well I say PACKED = last Saturday! I have never seen Bull's line out to Viper, Wolf's and Demon's line full and certainly never V2's line out into the midway!

Anyway, I don't like "Predator" for Wolf's FF name. That name could be given to any coaster! I liked Iron Werewolf(sp)! It sounds more Halloween-like and is close to the real name of the coaster.

I mean PACKED. Apparently, last Saturday wasn't PACKED, but I thought it was.

by **FParker185** on October 18th, 2007, 6:34 pm

forgot to mention, as I dont feel like writing a trip report for last fri, but I rode IW cause i was at the park with a friend who goes once a year and wanted to ride everything, and IW was relatively smooth. Was much better than earlier in the year, though it seems to happen every year, not sure what they do to it between the regular season and Fright Fest, or maybe its just the cold weather making it run slower and that tones down the headbanging, but ride it while you can while it's tolerable.

(I'm not responsible for any crappy rides anyone gets on it, but train I was on was pretty smooth)

by **DvuRulz** on October 19th, 2007, 12:14 am

IW's certainly rougher than it was last year. I haven't had a smooth ride on it all season, to be honest. But I still love Wolf no matter what. Rough coasters don't bother me.

by **Aaron084** on October 19th, 2007, 10:25 am

There was a Saturday last year when the entrance sign said
"Park very full, please come back another day" That day was packed. Whoops that was '05 actually.

by **cycamps** on October 19th, 2007, 10:59 pm

In other words, they wouldn't let you in?

by **Danhockey04** on October 19th, 2007, 11:16 pm

Word of advice, train one is the smoother train by far. I have had some very good rides this year on it and I still think that ride is a good coaster. Just try to set yourself up on train 1.

by **cycamps** on October 20th, 2007, 7:41 pm

So why is it that one train is smoother than another?

by **crumale** on March 4th, 2008, 6:22 pm

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I have the same question...

by **ttd rox** on March 4th, 2008, 6:58 pm

Soo... What's your question?

by **cycamps** on March 4th, 2008, 6:59 pm

If I'm not mistaken, I think he had the same question I did (the post above crumale's)

Sorry, I read it wrong. It thought he asked, " I have a question" not I have the same question". My bad.

by **Demon_07** on March 4th, 2008, 8:20 pm

Good question. Beats me....
