Very twisty ride. Pretty neat. I suggest though that you watch out of the nutsack slam at the bottom of the sorta straight hill (the one after you pass through the loop), it can be rather painful.

The last part of this ride is great. It will throw you from side to side real quickly. Definitely ride in the front row.

First B&M Coaster ever!

Iron Wolf is still really smooth and has a really fun layout. Just from looking at it, you can tell it's old and it looks "funny," but it's still a great ride.

Ride in front and adjust the seat before it locks in place!

All I can say is OUCH, this was one painful ride. A lot of head banging and it is just all around a rough coaster. Not for the faint at heart.

^I couldn't agree more. This is the only coaster at Six Flags Great America that I would never recommend to anyone. I know it's the first B&M, but still, it's not a fun experience.

This ride is great, if you go in front. I rode in back and i had a terrible neckache after. Much more headbanging in the back

I've been on this ride more than I wanna count. But now I just go on once a year. When it first came out I used to marathon it. Rough one thats for sure, but if you anticipate the turns you'll do allright.
