Iron Wolf Last Rides/Removal Thread
Thanks all. I had been a lurker for like a year, but i figured after my son and I going to Six Flags 18 times this season so far I might as well join...
Sorry to rain on the Iron Wolf parade as I'm going to miss her as much as the next, but here is a kind of sort of preview at the new version...
 Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.
So, people were saying what in the world does project 12 mean? It can't mean they have 12 coasters.. - Ummm, think the obvious - 2012...

I'm guessing a post-apocalypse or apocalyptic themeing for the ride. I for one am glad they are cleaning it and making our Iron Wolf pretty again.
umm...I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed, but look at the lift and first drop...a little different I'd say..
Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
If you look at the loop the track is not going through the loop.
Its just artwork. They arent going to change the layout or anything.
They are just using the concept art from Green Lantern at Great Adventure
^After further review.... You are correct.

That explains the B&M Trains
I dont think Iron Wolf will be getting new trains though.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
Something will be done to make them smoother but just like Chang did not get new floorless trains Wolf will not get new trains.
13 Years with SFGAm World!
Chang was never a floorless to begin with, so that doesn't really prove your point. Although I would agree with the fact that you could probably make IW's existing trains smoother if you simply tightened some bolts and replaced a few parts. It SHOULD get new trains though (and I mean new stand-up trains).
(New Iron Wolf) Concept art per TPR's facebook.
 Good-bye rust red and silver, hello black and orange. Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.
Looks like Apocalypse: The Last Stand will use the same trains, not positive on that though. But seemingly, they would have ordered 8-car trains if they were getting new trains.. right?
^ Yeah that's what I thought too. The OTSR's and front car looks the same too. But, they just may have traced and recolored the IW trains to make the picture.

It's concept art guys, anything can happen.
13 - GateKeeper
14 - Millennium Force 15 - Enchanted Tales with Belle
That's kind of what I was saying. I know the tricks that designers and artists use  T-Minus 35 minutes. Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.
This isn't concept art, these are the final renderings created in 3Ds Max, then imported into No Limits.
the SFGAM one is def a product of Keith McVeen/VIP Productions, maybe the SFMM one as well.

I think the problem with adding more cars to the train is that they would have to make the tracks - the maintenance track in particular - longer, and probably the transfer track longer. Though, who says SF couldn't order a 7 car new train from B&M? Knowing SF, I doubt they would do that, but who says they couldn't? "I've been staring at the world, waiting.

All of the 3D animations for 2012 are VIP Productions.
I really like these colors. I mean to me they seem to perfectly resemble the world has ended. Which i obviously the goal
Apocalypse is clearly not VIP, either that or it's an extreme low end, bargain basement one. It has no detail what so ever that is the hallmark of VIP, where most of the rest I've noticed have the extreme detail like bolt flanges in the track, weld marks, accurate footer placement and structure design, etc.

And after most ride it, they'll feel as though the world needs to end.
