Well guys this is a great video showing off the queue and a front row p.o.v of Apocalypse. But anyway in the one part where he is filming in the station there is a train on the track, a train loading, and a train on the maintenance/storage track. Did they buy an extra train? Or Did Iron Wolf have 3 trains? Or have I just ben too stupid to notice that Iron Wolf had 3 trains all that time. Or am I just losing my marbles??? IDK?

You are indeed losing your marbles. There is one train on the storage track and one train on the course and no train in the station. Wolf was designed to run two trains and ran two trains and it would make little sense to make alterations to it to run a third. It was difficult enough to check two trains and not stack on a crowded day let alone 3.

Were the trains stored right behind the station when it was at SFGAm? I don't remember ever seeing a train back there, but that just might be because we actually run rides with more than one train. :P

They very rarely ran it with one train, but its more obvious now that they flipped the station.

Anybody ride this as Apocalypse yet? Is it any better than it was by us? It doesn't look like it to me from watching the video.

I rode this last Aug. and it is still just as rough. Only went on it one time while visiting the park.

Pause the video at 2:12
In this frame right here there is a trian on the tracks, and TWO on the storage/Maintanance track. And i think i know it is two because 1 train dosen't have 14 rows! So therefore there is 3 trains? Whats up with this??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

It is one train, however some may see 14 rows because of the bad angle showing the back of the train. You can see the seats from other rows through the seats in front of them, so it looks like there are twice the number of rows. There aren't though. Two trains in the picture, one running and one in "storage".
