SFA Regular Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 No. You're most likely getting Iron Wold and the Six Flags marketing department changed the colors on a previously used image of Green Lantern to use for promotional purposes on this coaster. Ohhh, okay. That's better than nothing. If they give the ride new restraints, won't it make it smoother? Second, is it possible that they could make two exits to this attraction? One that leads back out into the Pirate area and another that leads back into the former Thomas Town themed area? That way you would't always have to walk around, just to see something that is right behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do change the restraints to something softer, then sure, it would make the ride a bit better. But Iron Wolf needs wheel adjustments or something to make the overall layout smoother. And I'm guessing by how Chang got rougher when turned into Green Lantern, I doubt Iron Wolf would get any smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now on to the next. Is it likely for SFA to put Iron Wolf in Skull Mountain's spot? Or will Skull Mountain become a un-used area like Two-Face's land is? Here is the only reason I ask that. If they aren't going to give us a new coaster in 2013, they could use Skull Mountain's spot for another type of water attraction. Other than Two-Face's old spot, they could put Iron Wolf in Gotham.

New restraints won't help a ride with poor tracking to begin with...IW was B&M's first solo effort so at that time they hadn't fully perfected their ride engineering quality that they'd later become known for.I rode vortex at carowinds in early august & while it had the newer style B&M standup restraints it was still a rough ride & that's a coaster that was built two years after IW.

coasterfreak101 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 ^^I don't understand all these complaints about Green Lantern being rough - it's one of the smoothest rides I've been on. Honestly. Maybe if you go limp and let yourself be a ragdoll you'll get thrown around, but if you loosely hold on and just ride the ride, it's perfectly smooth. And from what everyone's been saying, hopefully Iron Wolf will see a train upgrade. If that's the case, it should be pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New trains are an easy perk they can thrown in with a relocated ride. I think it's going to be a decent ride to tie us over until our next attraction. Sense there trains sit 4 people wide, the line should move quick with a fast ride team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoole Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 ^^ I agree! When I rode Green lantern it was perfectly smooth. I think the people who are saying that have never heard of rider participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFA Regular Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm not trying to make assumptions, but when people see the commercial for a new ride for this park, they are going to slam the parking lots and the park is going to be just like it was when we received Two-Face, Joker's Jinx, Superman and Batwing. And that means opening day the park is slammed with people. Lines for the other rides will probably be rather short and everyone will be at the new one. Sense this is the first coaster we have had since 2001, it will probably get it's own store and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzoole Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 So I just noticed that Six Flags trademarked the name "Apocalypse" on July 22, 2011. So I guess this ride is simply being called "Apocalypse". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDcoasterMAN Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 If SFA was smart they would play off the past week's natural "disasters." It's not every week the Mid Atlantic region gets hit by Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Hurricanes.... Just Sayin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 ^ Exactly, it'd be a perfect tie in to the ride theme by saying things like, "It's already begun...but the worst is yet to come. Apocalypse." But you haven't seen the video. Knowing your past, you probably haven't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
