Bradman77 knows the true pain of iron wolf. being male and riding iron wolf may be the biggest mistake you could ever make. Not only does it give you severe head trauma, but if your balls arent hurting after this....well....you arent a man. nicknamed the castrator for obvious reasons, this is the ONE ride you should skip at GA, unless your a girl, in which case the ride might not be quite as painful. (I rode it again on June 10th, and had a better experience....I give it a 5)

i know what your saying, but its a good ride, except for the one part that u feel on this ride

i have always said that this would be a great B&M if it werent for the stand-up cars. if they could just change those, this would be one of the better B&Ms i think. it has a great layout, plenty of speed, and good inversions, but the cars just ruin it.

i think that is the case with all stand-ups. mantis at CP would be awesome with floorless cars on it. the layout is entirely uniques and would easily earn a spot on my top ten if it werent for those stand-up trains

well i wouldnt know because I have only been on 1 stand up, which would be Iron Wolf

is it possible for them to change the cars that are used, or does it screw up all the physics and what not.

i wouldnt see why not, how old are the trains for the ride???

the trains are pretty recent i think, but i dont mean put in another stand-up train. could they put in a sit down, or a floorless instead?

I know the ride has had to different types of restraints. Otherwise, I know that I havent been very impressed with any of the stand ups that Ive been on.

none of them are made right, they need to make them with the bar between your legs not actually between you legs. they should move it slightly lower. so then it is never directly up in your nuts unless you are slouching. that would take away alot of the pain......but the whole idea of standing up is very uncomfortable, and i cant believe B&M hasnt thought of other ways to fix it.

i dont know if it is because im small or something, but when i went on iron wolf, the pain wasnt that bad.

im not sure, i am quite tall, so that might contribute to the pain, or maybe not, who knows.........maybe you dont have any balls......lol

Im averaged sizes at 510", but the ride is still quite painful for me. It is just a bad concept. I really dont see the greatness of standing up. Ive been on Mantis at Cedar Point which is supposed tobe pretty good. I was not impressed with Mantis at all really though. The stand ups that Ive ridden have been bad, but this ride is horrible.

im only 55 ansd when i went on it, the pain u say wasnt that bad

well, again, perhaps you just dont have balls. anyways, i just wish that they could change the trains to floorless or sit down or something, because the ride can still be very good.

well no, i do have balls. and i bet the ride wouldnt be as good if they put floorless or something on there

See your short, I think height plays a major role in what kind of ride you get. Since your short, you fit into the harnesses a little better and on the turns, you are lower to the ground, so there is less force pulling you outward.

perhaps thats it, but bserwin....having no car and just jumping off the track would be better than the cars they have now

I personally dont think the track is even that good anymore. Maybe when it first came out it was the ticket, but now in my opinion the whole ride is bad not just the restraints.

i like the ride itself, and demon, i dont want to know or feel the pain if you rather jump off it.

it is hard to put it into words. have you ever seen the movie "Alien", where the thing comes ripping out of the guys stomach.....that would feel kinda good compared to this.

ok thats enough about that. ill stay in the same park, how is deja vu??

Deja Vu, simply put, is excellent. Getting pulled back vertically is really cool, and surprisingly enough not very painful either. The drop is nice too. Overall the ride is just great.

deja vu is awesome!!!! except during high-noon, when the sun blinds you as you go over the cobra roll. the towers are awesome since they are at 90 degree angles, but i still say that V2 is better. simply personal preference. they are both deserving of 10s.

V2 is an excellent ride. top 20 for me!!!

yes, i enjoy V2 better becuase of the launch.

as i always have been, i am a fan of launches

yeah, they really should be utilized on more rides.

not all, but yes, more

i agree, some rides are made better with lift hills, but then there are some that would be ten times better if they had a launched start.

or, they should just build more with launches, either like the hulk, or TTD

well yeah, thats what i meant. but you cant just put a launch on any ride you want, some are greatly improved with a launch, but types like hyper and wood would be worse if they added a launch.

it wouuld ruin the point of it being a hyper if they put a launch on it, and a launch on a woodie would suck, lieke ruin the ride, and they cant anyways, yet at least

yeah, a woodie would be kinda ridiculous with a launched start. i think launches are making there way into the roller coaster world, but im still waiting for that one ride that you just say, "wow, that was something i have never experienced before."

i did that when i rode the hulk, the wow, that was something i have......

well, for me, it was definitely a surprise, but nothing that floored me. i think something like X is what im talking about. just a roller coaster experience that you have never experienced before.

well, the hulk was my first coaster, so that really got me

oh wow, for a first, im sure that was something amazing. but yeah, for me, i hae ridden coasters since i was 7, so it was a shock, but nothing too unexpected or amazing. dont get me wrong though...its my second favorite coaster of all time.

its my first, and i love it.

i wish my home park was IOA..........

its like a 2nd home to me

lol, yeah, thats gotta be nice

you bet it is

although i feel lucky to have SFGAm as my home park. its a good one.

but how far from you?

about an hour and ten minutes.....the trip seems to take less and less time every time we go

maybe because your not as intrested when you go know, than when you go earlier

true, the first times i went, it was like once every other year, so there was alot of anticipation, but now i know whats coming.

exept this time there will be superman waitin

you betcha, thats gonna be craziness. im gonna try and get first train. maybe even front, although i may have to stay overnight.

id do it. especially for a ride like superman

yeah, im thinking about it. but just getting on the ride that day would be good enough.

and you would probably only want to ride it once that dy, because the line might be pretty long, and be a while

plus, all the other rides would have much shorter lines.

yup. they probably would, but you know what would be funny, is if everyone thoguht the way you did, like everyone knows the lines for the other rides would be real short, so they all go to the other rides. then you would go to superman, but then everyone would know that the line for superman would be short, and so on.

yes, and endless cycle of people running around trying to figure out which ride to get in line for.....lol

It sucks that Superman is so close to the entrance, because now our athleticism and detailed knowledge of short cuts through out the park will do us little good in getting to the ride first. It will just be the first to arrive.

lol, yeah, athleticism is useless now, but we can still use your complete disregard for what others think, and cut right to the front of the line at the opening gates....lol

Hey, has anyone ever said anything. Families dont care, theyre not going to run. Sometimes kids our age will say something, but not when condorman is with us.

lol, very true. i have heard murmuring from people as we walk past, but thats about it.

i cut a lot, and no one has ever said anything

there really is no reason to get angry if someone cuts. if youre in line, youre going to get where you want to go no matter what.

but that time will be a little longer, and some people dont think about it that way

yeah, but i mean skipping at the opening gates. were all going to be on the first or second car anyways.

yes, but you missed what i was saying. but thats you

yeah, i get what you meant, i thought maybe you were talking about in the cue lines, though.

I dont appreciate people cutting in the cues, but at the opening gate its different, there is no uniform lines. Im getting there at like 8-8:30 so I wont have to jock for position.

you talking bout opening day? cause yeah, im definitely gonna get there early. and i also agree that cutting in the cues is way out of line. (no pun intended)

o well, i cut in the cues all the time

how? dont people try and stop you?

sometimes but im just like screw you people

line cutting is just wrong. what makes you so much greater than everyone else waiting that you think that you dont have to wait just like everyone else. today at SFGAdv, three kids wanted to cut to "join their friends" but a guy would not let them. they cursed him off for practically the entire 2 hours we were waiting in line. thats just being an @$$. the rule is simple... wait your turn. if you dont like it, dont go to the parks

i dont think im greater than anyone else

then why not just wait your turn like everyone else

because, well, i dont know, and i dont really care.

and you think others dont care either? im sure everyone that you have ever cut in line was more than happy to let you pass

sure, you think that. i dont care.

i agree with bb_dg on this one. i mean, if you cut in line, you probably dont get too much further up in the line, so all youre doing is pissing a bunch of people off, all the while not really moving more than one or two cars further up in the line. just wait like the rest of us.

I dont care if I piss people off, and trust me, a 30-45 minutes is a bg difference.

well you should care. you share this earth with how many billions of other people. dont be an ass and just wait your turn

let them people do what they want. people i dont know like that i dont care about. there not my problem.

Does anyone have anything to say about Iron Wolf ?

lol, good call disney... lets try to get this back on topic. sorry, couldnt help myself there- i really do hate line cutters

IW is a great ride.

IW hurts my nuts!!!!

and thats about the 50th time youve have said that

but it must be stated (did i mention that it squashed my nuts?)

51!

lol, keepin count?

yes i am, and remember, "I am Cornholio!--I need TP for my bunghole!"

no....NO.......NOOOOOOO!!!
