Wow, this topic kinda slowly died down a bit.

I rode IW in the front row yesterday for the sole purpose of seeing the trains, and I did not see them. I thought that someone on here said that they were there, but now that I re-read the post it looks like I read it wrong thanks to a typo.

^Go on google maps or something, take a screenshot, and show us where you saw this. Even though I am not doubting what you said, but as you can see there have been many false sightings.

Don't take everything you hear to heart.

End of Round 1!

As for the trains, if they are there, they are 'hidden'. Probably in one of the buildings or something for the mechanics to work on. Or stopped off somewhere along the way to get 'touched up'.

All in all- Great America will receive the trains by next year.

Simply put:

Until there is a Press Release from Six Flags itself, I wouldn't believe anything anyone says in this topic.

I hope they remodel the station a little bit to make it easier to walk through. Seriously, have you guys ridden Iron Wolf when there is a line? I would rather have new trains thought, but they should get it along with the trains.

Thought this topic was about Chang? Not Iron Wolf.

Basically all that can be said about chang has been said. It's currently a defunct ride being removed from SFKK and looking for a new home which will more than likely be at SFGAm and with new trains. The current trains will more than likely show up on Iron Wolf in the very near future.

Other than that, there's not much to keep this exactly on topic for around another year until some sort of announcement is made, other than when parts show up.

Ok, not sure if I can do this or not, but its a link to sfkkonline, and one of the users public albums.

The pictures start from newest to oldest, showing the removal of Chang.

http://sfkkonline.com/forums/album.php? ... tureid=128" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Physical removal of the coaster has started with the brake run. From reading posts on the site, it appears this user will try to document as much as they can of the removal process.

MODS: If this is not allowed, please remove this post.

Thanks,

Sorry for not breaking the rules of Great America! I think I like going to the theme park, and not being banned! On to where I saw it:

When did you see them? Because they were shipped in over night and instantly put into storage.

And how do we know david is not lying?

Like I said before, it's very hard to believe anything with no proof.

As I said, That's as much proof as possible. The trains were NOT there, but a flatbed was. There is also the possibility that it was a figment of my imagination. I wax silly sometimes.

Even if there is a new train, it's not going to be a very different ride, just take out head banging. MAYBE.
All I care about now is Chang coming to our park. Hell, I would take Chang with any train, standup, sit down floor less! Just give us something new!

The link below is from SFKK online showing a picture of track on a flatbed

If it is heading our way, we should start to see parts onsite in the next week I would think.
