The Iron Wolf Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Actually the plan was that 2010 was going to be it's last year at the park as Chang, the stand up coaster that Six Flags removed from Kentucky Kingdom before closing that park was going to come to Chicago. Actually it did come to Chicago and parts were stored there but at the last minute corporate changed their minds and sent it to New Jersey instead.

So Iron Wolf got a stay of execution.

This year the rumors started up again that it was to move to Six Flags America, just outside of Washington D.C. Six Flags America submitted plans for a stand up coaster to the local zoning commission while Six Flags Great America just kept quiet. Then while Bond and I were at the park the rumors were confirmed and early September was set as the date for Iron Wolf's final rides at Six Flags Great America

So during our visit Bond and I hopped on Iron Wolf for a couple of more concussions before it left.

Most B&M designed coasters are smooth and something you can easily ride again and again but Iron Wolf slams your head and neck back and forth repeatedly and by the time you're in the station you are not ready for another go on it.
