On September 1, 2011, Six Flags America announced that they would be adding Apocalypse in 2012.
Iron Wolf closed on September 5, 2011, and work began on preparing it for transport to its new location. The new owners planned to add the roller coaster to the Skull Island section of their park, but before the relocation could take place, the Skull Mountain ride at Six Flags America had to be closed and demolished to make room for the new attraction. Construction for the coaster continued until the end of March 2012 when the final piece of track was installed.
The official Facebook page for Six Flags America had stated that the ride would officially open on May 25, 2012, but this was later changed to June 7, 2012.
