Got my cousin to go on all the rides! Before, he HATED coasters. Now, he's hooked on them. Our photo on Raging Bull... :lol:

I think that we should get a launch coaster to take place of Iron Wolf
This is how we chill from 93 'til.

Having grown up in about as Polish a household you can imagine, I will be avoiding this as if my life depended on it. I think that by the age of 6, I had already exceeded the maximum lifetime dosage of Polishness recommended by the FDA.

A launched coaster would be great. Hopefully an Intamin, but most likely a premier.

Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?

If Great America went with a launched coaster, it would most likely be a Mack. I'm hoping for GCI though.

Yeah. One like Xcelerator at Knotts would work great!

I was thinking something like this:

iSpeed is a very compact coaster and something like it would be great in Iron Wolfs + The Wilderness theater's spot. iSpeed itself could almost fit if the layout was mirrored. But something similar to Xcelerator would still kick A$$.

Is this based on the vast and storied history Six Flags has with Mack (3 Mouse in a box coasters in the entire chain), or is this another case of someone stumbling upon pictures of Blue Fire on rcdb and adding it to the top of a wish list? Not trying to be snarky or anything, I've just noticed the latter is a pretty common occurrence (despite reviews here and there that perhaps it looks more thrilling than it rides).

I'm hoping for a Blue Fire clone where Iron Wolf was.
