Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

I am not a big spinning ride fan but Fiddler's Fling is a must.  It's right across from Iron Wolf and is a Schwartzkopf Calypso ride that spins you around bashing back and forth into your ride partner.  It's a blast.

With Iron Wolf right across the midway from Fiddlers Fling and not much of a line we headed for it next.

I'm not the biggest Iron Wolf fan because it normally snaps my head around like a bobble head doll but Ingrid loves it so we ended up getting two rides on it during our visit.

Iron Wolf is a cool looking ride but I wish the park would buy some actual B&M trains as they're worlds more comfortable.  You see this is Bollinger & Mabillard's first coaster out on their own and they did the design work but contracted out to Intamin for the trains.  In later years B&M designed their own stand up trains which are worlds better than their predecessors.
