/\ I think the problem is that the GP public doesn't know that it was B&M's first. And probably a lot of them don't know who built it or who B&M even is.
Iron Wolf is a work of art. I find the roughness of the ride to be awsome and because it was B&M's first just makes it even better. But it also has a short line, sweet.

AER:2 AEB:2 BTR:5 Deja Vu:1 Demon:5 Iron Wolf:3 Raging Bull:3 S:UF:3 V2:4 Viper:2 Total Coaster Rides: 30
cool
Even though I find it rough I still like it.
America's first successful stand-up coaster was the now defunct King Cobra at Kings Island, which operated 1984-2001. I like Iron Wolf, but unfortunately, the way most of my friends feel about it, it has ended up on the "once per visit" list. Finally Coaster Season!!
Since I am tall that ride kicks my ass....not a very big fan. I've only been on it 4 or 5 times this season I believe.
1. Voyage
2. X 3. Millenium Force 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Raging Bull '05 Bull: 113 '06 Bull: lost count but not a lot
First successful yes but first in the states was Rail Blazer at SFStL. Only operated for the "84" season. Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!
Iron Wolf is bumpy,
 but it is a great ride. 
Notice when you go up the lift hill you can hear a lady on the PA system say please stay seated at all times   "There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."
"Why is nice bad? What kind of a sick society are we living in when nice is bad?"
Like black gray would be a boring color on Iron Wolf. "There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."
"Why is nice bad? What kind of a sick society are we living in when nice is bad?"
i have never been on the iron wolf becuase i just started going on the bigger roller coasters... (not that its big) i never went on becuase everyone has told me that it sucks, u bang ur head like crazy, and it is a waste of time!
Don't by-pass a coaster because you heard negative bad reviews of it. Get on it and form your own opinion.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
The best place to sit is the front row.

Check the date of the post. It was written in 2003, when batman was black.
^And that means what??

Just FYI- Iron Wolf is a "first" because it was the first standing LOOPING coaster of its kind.

This is one coaster in need of a paint job. Perhaps dye it a different color and get rid of the fading magenta.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
they painted some of the supports this year..at least it looks like they did

ironwolf isnt rough at all, you just need to know how to stand in the seat correctly. Iw is a great ride, i dont care what other people say.

I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.
I really enjoy Iron Wolf. The first drop and the first loop are my favorite parts. The only thing i dont like is the way your head bangs around on the corkscrew. But tht lasts for only a few seconds so it doesnt really matter.
Frieght Fest!!!
OCTOBER 22ND!
okay i will next time i go!!!
sorry that's incorrect. King Cobra (now gone) at PKI was built before it. 1. Voyage
2. X 3. Millenium Force 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Raging Bull '05 Bull: 113 '06 Bull: lost count but not a lot
I go on Iron Wolf every time I'm there so it's got to be my top 5.
[quote="RagingBullLover1543"]Iron Wolf is bumpy
It is not bumpy, The cool part of the ride is the first drop, the loop, and the turn going thru the loop. Deja Vu, Deja Vu, Deja Vu, Gooo
Ok my bad.... let me rephrase myself.... Iron Wolf was the TALLEST Fastest stand-up looping roller coaster in the world when it was built. put that in your pipe and smoke it! (and this time I know im right :-d hehehe )
