Nope.. it's still one of the longest lines in the park.. I've been there 9 times already this season and w/o using Fastlane I have never waited under about 1 hour.

The park has been getting crowded lately, meaning lately, most of the queue line has been used up on a daily basis (also figure in the understaffing on weekdays makes the line move a lot slower).

Yeah just wanted to let everyone known that the two days I went the park was packed...I mean long lines for everything...even Iron Wolf I waited 10 minutes...

I plan on doing a trip report, but I can tell you that SFGAM doesnt do a great job at enforcing rules

Iron Wolf in 10 minutes is not a long line at all. Last summer it took me an hour and a half to get through the entire queue line (all of the switchbacks too) because the crew was taking a month and a half to load one group of passengers.

Yeah I guess you're right...I can say that the only thing SFKK has over SFGAM is Chang...Iron Wolf was the worst standup I ever been on and I've been on King Cobra at PKI

Iron Wolf was the first ever stand up so you cant expect it to be the best, on the other hand batman was the first of its kind and still is the best I think.

Iron Wolf wasn't the first ever stand up, togo made a few before B&M ever made one. Iron Wolf was the tallest and fastest standup, and the first B&M coaster ever.

there were numerous other standups made before togos model, Iron wolf was the first actual standup ( feet touching floor, legs in vertical line)

Well for me, every time I went, SUF did become a walk on around 3:00pm. Last year, because of the lines, I was only able to go on it 17,
times. In only 4 Visits this year, I've been on it 20 times, no lie! I'm up to 37 times on SUF total!

It's usually pretty busy in the morning and early afternoon, but like I said, it usually was a walk on after 3:00pm.

If your concerned about S:UF having a short line, when S:UF's line is stretching out to the queue house B:TR's is in the batcave.
