I am surprised the park has not done any kind of make over on our coasters like in SFGA or SFNE it seems like Wolf deserved one the most...new paint, trains, station upgrade...hard to think it is 20 years old

Kinda shows they may be ready to remove it.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2. Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
No, No, No... i was specifically talking about Iron Wolf. If we were to be getting Chang in the near future, thats the ideal ride to leave. Besides if we were giving a ride a make over i would rather have it be Eagle, Batman, or Whizzer

^ All the rides you list are park Classics, and most, if not all have ACE historic value.
Based on what you've been sating, you hate Wolfie. I hate you! What if you were a 20 year old coaster, and you weren't as cool as Bull over there. Would you want to be removed? No. you wouldn't.
Yes, but that would mean we would not get a HH expansion. I would REALLY love it to go there, but you gotta think about whats best for the park in these kinda situations

(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow... 2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal

I don't know. I don't want Demon gone. I just want them to heavily rehab it and give it new trains. It's my first looping coaster, and one of my favorite coasters by Arrow. I just wish that the park would re-paint it black, and completely rehab it. Replace the supports, like what hey did a while back, and replace any track that is needing it. I really love that coaster and would protest its removal.

If the Santa Clara one goes up for bids, I may take out a loan and buy it. Only joking of course. All Demon needs is new trains, without harnesses, and a bit of rehab.
^^ It's not THAT expensive to replace one piece of track. It's probably $300 for a straight piece extending 5-feet. A total revamp and beautification would be around 1-3 Million. I'm not asking for 100% new track, maybe used track from an older Arrow, that would be godly. I just don't want that vicious Shapiro taking my Demon. He probably won't though since he grew up in Chicago.

The section of the corkscrew that was under the waterfall was replaced recently due to corrosion, and that replacement for the segment only was nearly 6 figures.... Not including labor/install...
Steel is not cheap, nor is the fabrication costs...
