Lightning9SX Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 ^ You beat me to it. I'd much rather look at Jack Links advertisement than all the hair gel ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaxster Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Sasquatch. Yes! Very good name. How about Big Foot? I think Sasquatch sounds more Canadian... Six Flags and Jack Link's Jerky presents, "Riding with Sasquatch". I actually had the same idea, but I didn't feel like posting anything cheesy on the forums.

Chicago Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I thought Wild Eagle was much more thrilling and altogether fun than the ride on GateKeeper. The initial drop on Wild Eagle was tremendous, and literally took my breath away with all the force. The ride on Wild Eagle was also smoother than any other ride I have been on. GateKeeper rode much rougher and did not have any really good elements other than going through the keyholes. Without the keyholes that ride is nothing. (BTW, sorry to have this posted on the SFGAm thread) Here's how I rank the WingRiders I've been on: 1. X Flight 2. Gate Keeper 3. X Raptor 4. Wild Eagle Keep in mind, none of these would even make my top 50 coasters!!! Possibly even my top 100. Gate Keeper may have gotten the edge over X-Flight if it hadn't been so terribly rough!! Hanno and I had the worst ride ever on it. That's interesting, my ride on GateKeeper was much smoother than my ride on X Flight. I guess may have been due to the outer seat ride on X-flight and an inner seat ride on GateKeeper. Although I wasn't the only one who thought this. 1. GateKeeper 2. WIld Eagle(I enjoyed it, I understand this could be seen as less thrilling) 3. X Flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would fit perfectly if the ride's entrance was in Yukon Territory since Yukon is Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they have room for it there, but that would make the most sense. I don't get why a wolf would be in a county fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parallax Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Sasquatch would be a good name. Six Flags has it on the drop towers at Great Escape, plus they have Jack Link's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yay101 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 In my opinion it would be cool if the name had some connection to Iron Wolf, but not "Iron Wolf 2.0" or "Iron Wolf Reborn" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Is Timber Wolf a possible name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 ^ Possibly. Iron Wolf was steel, this coaster is wood. They use the both station. This ride is using Iron's Wolf's location. Come to think of it, that would be a good name. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 ^^ Probably not possible. CF owns the rights to that name (Timber Wolf at WOF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilrider Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Why not just call it Bigfoot if people want to go with that theme? Sounds better than the word Sasquatch as a coaster name, and even if the "footprint" of the coaster isn't huge, the first drop will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopScreweD Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I wonder what the size of the trains are gonna be, iron wolf had a pretty short station. (the Intamin trains being 4 across saw to that) Are there any wooden coasters with 4 across ever? Stupid question I know but you never know nowadays.

ilrider Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I am pretty sure a new station is coming. On the ride layout I believe there is a blue box showing a new station that is narrower but longer than IW's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizash Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I have big expectations for this rides capacity. I love 2wide trains but hope they are very very long. Long trains create more forces and more varity of forces based on seats. I hope it has near record length trains for capacity and ride quality. I love the hanging feeling in the front of a long train, forces in the back, and sight of a long train esp. In an inversion. Since this will clearly be the most popular ride in the park... and most likely only two train operation I expect some insane cue lines if it uses short trains.
