That's hilarious that Chang's trains are just right there :lol:

Also, he said May 24. They open April 24.

^ I wouldn't say that the trains are right there. Thats still an area that guests will never see no matter how hard they look. That said, I imagine someone is probably in big trouble now for not watching where that camera was pointing :lol:

I only found out about this now because on Facebook someone made a comment on the SFGAm fan page or whatever and said "Pictures of the Chang trains. ABC news already revealed they were there:" and the link. I watched it thinking that he was just messing with people, but just in case... then I saw it. HAHAHA. I can't help but laugh. So I decided to come here and see what everyone else said about it.

ABC didn't reveal anything. They caught the very back of one of the trains. The average person won't figure it out nor care.

No-one is going to be in trouble as SFGAm let the camera crew into the maintenance building where the coaster trains are.

But, this does officially make it known that they are there. :) Now let's see if they will be on Iron Wolf next month.

^Most of us knew they were there. Just didn't see any pics until now.

It's the track that people are wondering about.

^Of course it's going to re-activate this topic as you could see a slight back side of one of the Chang trains in the vid.

Question remains whether these trains go on Iron Wolf, or stay on whatever Chang is going to be called.

Something tells me we'll see trains on Wolfie this year, Chang install 2011, Wolfie either gets new trains, or get's removed. It has to happen sometime.

nobody would. In the same off season SSA goes down we have the Chang trains spotted along with the staircase and a support pole. Six Flags had Space Shuttle America standing from 2008-2009 and they remove it now?

Those are Chang's trains in disguise!

Wait.

Why should I even try, this almost confirms this as being the or one of the last operating seasons of Wolfie. And whoever updated with the pics copied my name for IW! :(

But hey, maybe we'll get some more VALUE rides for EVERYONE to enjoy. F*** you to Six Flags.

I dont follow you, you see something in the pics that I dont? I dont see any wall with writing on it saying IW is on it's way out. While they suck the trains still work fine. Now if they parted out one train to keep the other one running, that's when there are problems.

Also noticed in the pics posted on FB, there appears to be no money in the budget for cosmetic improvements, V2's harnesses look terrible. If I ran the park I'd be embarrassed to tears having those look like that on closing day, let alone opening day.

I want to know why Wolfie got cleaner trains, and V2 got squat. They probably didn't even fix the holding break.

David, NO ONE in the gp cares if the park has 2 stand ups. Every time I tell people Iron Wolf is my favorite stand up coaster, they ask "is there another one here?"

Hmm.. That's odd. I don't recall myself mentioning people caring about the two stand-ups, DID I?

^If you looked at the comments on the pictures of Iron Wolf, they are nothing but complaints. If we get Chang for 2011, people will compare it to Iron Wolf.
