yeah Iron Wolf is gone. They shut it down in 2011. That was a great ride. RIP
The funny thing is even though I haven't been there in over 10 years the only rides I wound up riding, were all the same rides I used to ride. Viper, American Eagle, Demon, Whizzer. Batman the ride was always my favorite but my son didn't meet the height requirements. Same for Superman and Raging Bull, which I've never been on either of
I went to Cedar Point yesterday. Great time as always! \m/ It's going to be even harder to fit everything I want to ride in one day once Gatekeeper opens next year.
Jay, did they have any kind of gatekeeper displays or models up for people to see? I saw they closed space spiral last week and built a wall around that area
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
I have to start going to Great America every year again. We may try and go to Fright Fest this year, but would need to bring another couple people so my wife and I can ride X-Flight, Batman, Raging Bull, etc.
I'm not sure if it had been so long since I was on a big roller coaster or because I'm just old now, but it took some getting used to on those coasters yesterday lol It was kind of a shock to my system at the beginning but by the end of the day, I was like a little kid again.
Today Six Flags went BIG, announcing the additions and changes for 2013 for all park properties in the chain.
