I've done all that, and up til they changed the harnesses around like 02 or so I thought it was the best standup around. I was one of the last IW holdouts around until last year. Last year it was beating me pretty badly and this year my one and only ride was just awful. I'm done with it, as far as I'm concerned the ride no longer exists at SFGAm. It is an empty plot of land between the kids area and the train station, where the train station used to sit.

So as long as it exists, use the method I provided, and enjoy it.
Sure, I rather have Georgia Scorcher, or even better yet Chang or Riddler's Revenge, but we have what we have and since I found a solution to the problem, I'm enjoying it more than I was before. It didn't seem that long ago being 2002 since we got new harnesses (To me, it seemed like 2005, but I don't remember.), but before I just went on it maybe once (after new junk harnesses). Yes, those harnesses are fine on Batman because you don't have a banging area, but not on that ride. Now, I can go on it a lot more because of this. I used to hate getting red ears on this ride, but not now.

What really is funny is that you'd think the park would get the picture after I don't know YEARS of pathetic rider output and how even on a Fright Fest Day the line is never more than 20 minutes. I cna't remember the last time a ride deserved to go so much...not EVEN Shockwave
the line was a nice 30 minutes when I went, and everyone seemed to love it.

I have seen full ques on Iron Wolf before....many times. And the thing is, not many people say "I am never ridding that again". They may not ride it again that same day, but chances are when they come back and walk past it they will take a ride. At least the ride doesn't send out empty trains all day.
I was just wondering if u thought i may be able to fit on IW? I can get on Demon fine and Superman (2 or 3 clicks) and the operators on Revolution have to give me an extra push to ride but do not fit on Batman would I be able to fit on IW? please reply
Sometimes you can be rejected from Batman and still ride IW cause you are standing and are more stretched out. My suggestion is get in the seat and dont pull down the OTSR until the seats lock in place, once that happens sit down on the seat horn and pull down the OTSR. Can't hurt to try, not like you have to wait though a long line

Yeah I am 6'5" and I have a problem with Iron Wolf. I have to wait until the seats lock in order for me to drop my shoulders to get the OTSR down enough to lock the belt.
