I've been on all the trains and they are both rough. It also depends where you sit. It's roguh nywhere but better at some spots.

Pretty much the more weight on that train the better - meaning - the more people on there the better...

Alright. I'll make sure I go with lardy people when I ride it. Oh, and is it just the corkscrew that kills you?

Iron Wolf is the only topic that I seem to tell people over and over but nobody understands. Just ride it in the front row learn how to ride it.

Oh Seriously^. NO! Head forward puts you in more of position to headbang, at least when you're tall like I am.

People may find this offensive and it is not the nicest thing to say.

^Isn't the nicest way to put it but you just means "bigger" people.

Yeah, its not a hard layout to learn. You watch the turns ahead and position your head so it doesnt slam. And it took me about 8 rides to find cofortable position after I grew 6' 5". Same goes for KK, Revy, and Dejavu....You just have to find a way to sit that doesnt kill your shoulders.

i ride it every once in a while. im not a huge fan of it because it can be kind of painful, but its alright i guess.
But Batman is deffinetly not forgotten, that always seems to have one of the longest lines in the park.

This ride hurts maybe more than the powerdive? Never rode it heard it was painful. I don't know about the powerdive but the Iron Wolf hurts and I think that it has served its time.

It's not a very scary ride....but it's the best standup out there.
As for the pain, after a few rides you kinda figure out how to position your body so it won't hurt.
