About All the steel coasters..... They seem more tame when its cold out on B96 night i rode shockwave tons of times and it didnt even bother me but months later Coasterdude had to teach (if thats what you call it :lol: ) how to not kill my head on it!!! Ok now back on topic................I think SF has done a great job on the rides... I think they are getting a little dated though. Im not saying remove them we need to keep the park the way it is but we need to add some New ones like maybe a Fribie, That would make me feel better about PowerDive!!!

Iron Wolf is only a little rough on the exit of the corkscrew, and Eagle is one of the smoothest wooden coasters out there. If you want to ride a rough Wooden coaster go ride Mean Streak at Cedar Point or Raging Wolf Bobs at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, those coasters will teach you the meaning of a rough wooden coaster.Also Timmy a note for next time you post, can you please use proper grammer and spelling at all times so its a little easier to understand what your saying. Thanks :)

Rides are more tame on cold nights because there is more friction, which leads to slower speeds, and less bumpiness and roughness.But anyway, to answer the topic question... I like Raging Bull because it's so smooth. (But anyone could tell you that :))

I think the rides are great. Like you already said, AE is very smooth, great wooden coaster. Viper is very underrated and the airtime is excellent. The steel coasters... IW is just a tiny bit rough. You just have to suck it up and hold on for the ride. I appreciate B&M's first coaster. It left a lasting impression, and headache, of the park. lol But anyhow, I loved Demon because it's a classic Arrow looper. Those are keepers. The park has great rides! What more can one say?

I know that they put Christmas trees and flags on top of different structures when they are complete and finished being built. Could this be the case that they are done with AE already?

The tree on the helix of Eagle has been there during the winter season for quite some time. Nothing new her, carry on.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

No it isn't for x-mas. The trees are always put up on new builds where nobody died. Don't ask why, but its what they do. Anyways, it sounds like they are confused by this tree because of the fact it just appeared there recently, not around x-mas time. :roll:
I'm the best thing since... wait! I am sliced bread! I am the best thing!

I think it's cool how they do something unique like that... I don't know of any parks around here that do that.

You think they would get a big tree and put it up. Maybe they could make a tree out of plywood and drill holes and put christmas lights in it and hang it on the side like the spider. They would have to make it big though!!!
