- There are several reasons for all of the rumors circulating around the most historic roller coaster at Six Flags Great America. Could it be closing for construction as soon as this year?
Ah yes, Midwest coast racers
I'd be down for a Ghost Rider esque refurb. Don't want it RMC'd though.
Yoo I love your videos but I had no idea you were a coaster enthusiast that’s awesome!
wait you’re a coaster enthusiast???
Ppl need to see CZs final destination 3 video. 😍😤
dead meat and czsworld are the reason i love horror movies
Six flags great america your home park, mine too!
Yes!! Pretty dang good home park. 🔥
Same dude
Same, though I don't live in Illinois its the closest park to were I live
American Eagle was the 1st coaster I ever rode, and I cried going down the first hill while my grandmother was having the time of her life next to me. We still have the photo of it on a mug in my parent's kitchen.
Knowing the history and nostalgia invoked when this coaster is mentioned, I think a refurbishment or conversion would be a lot more popular than a complete replacement, although the racing steel coasters would be a good homage to the ride. Whatever happens to the ride in the future, I hope the park respects and commemorates one of it's most iconic rides.
I grew up an hour from great America and ways remember they ran the red car forward and the blue car backwards which was my favorite.
I don't think the ride is going anywhere soon but this is still a very entertaining video
They raced last time I was in them
I went to Press Day in 1981 (I was 11) before AE opened to the public. No headrests, no wings, no breaks, the Eagle was indescribable. I'm heartbroken every time I drive under the Eagle and see its current condition. I'd love to see a full dress RMC conversion however, an RMC re-tracking keeping the layout as-is and properly banking the helixes would bring back the glory days and capitalize on 40 years of memories. I don't see it going anywhere. Why would the park invest in restoring the station and a partial paint job? We can only hope. I love your channel, by the way, so re-watchable. I love the Great America history videos. Keep up the exceptional work!
Also... the first intamin, that structure is so iconic it absolutely must be RMC’d or retracked
This was my first coaster at age five and this is when I fell in love with roller coasters. I remember as a child so excited when they built it but sad I had to wait two years to ride. I love America Eagle no matter what. It is an icon
Anyone who says "You cant have two RMC coasters in one park" has never ridden iron rattler and wonder woman golden lasso noodle back to back.
I felt like people might make the argument that the raptors are more different than the ibox and topper tracks, but your point stands that Schilke is capable enough to design two coasters with different enough layouts to coexist in one park.
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining For sure. 3 schilke designs in fiesta texas, very different rides. I also believe WWGLC and iron rattler demonstrate the difference between fast-paced multiple force driven RMC and airtime machine RMC (not that raptors don't give insane airtime, because they do), but I haven't been on enough RMC coasters for my opinion to be valid.
@@kryptonaight4076 2(or 3 depending on how you look at it) as well if you go to magic mountain and Noone is gonna think Twisted Colossus and X2 are similar lol
Iron rattler is the shit
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining I like the Idea of making it a Zero G hill racer with 1 huge hill like the Eagle then have the racers weave in and out of each other over bunny hops up another hill then cruise race like the current helix used to do.
I hope they retrack Anerican Eagle, it doesn't need the RMC treatment they already have Goliath.
I wish too! But being thats it’s Six Flags....I really don’t see it happening 🙁
maybeeee, a GCI retracking? Or maybe the GCI Hybrid retracking that was announced at IAAPA last year¿?
I operated eagle last year a few times and when I asked why we don’t race I was told by a lead we don’t race anymore because the structure shakes too much when they’re both on it. Assuming they ment in the barrel mostly because that’s where most of the roughness is.
Love the in depth coverage of American Eagle possibilities for the future! Will we be seeing a History & Review video on Eagle in the future??
Highly possible, if not something similar that’s just structured differently 🤷♀️
Can we just get a solid 3-minute video of you screeching “ShOcKwAvE aT sIx FlAgS gReAt AmErIcA? I love your content and I know how much effort you put into your videos, but that would probably be your best video if you actually made it.
Yes please
I've heard a few things from people who have worked at the park, all rumors though. One thing I've heard is that they can't do a complete replacement on the land because of Gurnee's zoning laws. Apparently, American Eagle is too close to the major roads and if they did a complete teardown, they would lose the land. Another thing I heard is that before Goliath was planned, they initially went to RMC to do a conversion of American Eagle, but then RMC offered to do a new roller coaster instead. I've also heard that American Eagle doesn't race due to the age and that they don't want to put that much pressure it anymore. If all of this is true then I would assume that they would a refurbishment.
I've heard those rumors too, but I don't like how they come from such anonymous sources. I'm not sure how I feel about them. Except the last one seems very likely. And the last helix on the red side does get a bit close to Washington St.
Yes the problem is the highway. Also I hear rumors ride operators from raging bull saw the ride structure shaking when they trains raced. This is a nice historic coaster and hopefully we can get more years if some things get replaced.
I remember when the Eagle made its debut in 1981 it was THE ride to ride. I recall waiting in very long lines to get on but it was worth it.
Dang I got get back here asap .This was my home park decades ago. I was sad to hear when my favorite coaster Shockwave was no more. I rode many things that came and went Zforce, The Edge ect. I actually got stuck on the top of the Eagle when they did run both tracks at once. For nostalgia I must make it back to ride again before it goes . This coaster had the most ass lift off seat in that first drop.
I am super late finding this video. I grew up in Antioch; Great America was my happy place growing up. Worked there for 2 years during high school. The American Eagle was the first ride I ever rode at that park, and it was easily my favorite (with the Demon being a close runner up.) The last time I rode either of those coasters was 2017, and oh boy lol. The ride on the Eagle was rough, but still enjoyable. The Demon on the other hand was a ROUGH ride, I got a migraine almost immediately after my ride on the Demon, and that was the first coaster I rode while at the park. The Eagle was a bumpy ride, very shaky and kind of rough. I haven't seen the red side run in YEARS. During the two years I worked there, the blue side was the only one running. When I was a kid, both sides were running and still racing, but that was a solid 20 something years ago now. I would hate to see the Eagle go; if they do choose to replace it, a racing coaster would be a good replacement.
My dad helped paint the American Eagle, he knew a guy who worked there and hung out at the park while they were building it.
sfgam is your homepark, bro i still think you need more subs, 228? i see you getting 5k in around 5 months or more, likely though, you should have a meet up at sfgam when you get more subs, but yeah keep it up
I'd be down for that! I'm equidistant to both SFGAm and Cedar Point, so I have my pick of parks with great coaster lineups. :)
Wow this ride is still around! In 1980 I rode this ride all damn day over and over and over. It beat the snot out of adults back then. I can only imagine how rough of a ride it is now. Greatest ride I ever had.
I really hope there is a way to keep it a wooden coaster and make it race again. My stomach is starting to hurt as these rumors could be likely.
It would be cool as an RMC but I’m worried the park would do what they did with Twisted Cyclone and shorten the layout due to Six Flags being cheap and it only will have track. I want to see it like Twisted Colossus
Please hang in there Eagle.😢
People may think I’m crazy that I don’t want it to get RMCed...it’s just I really love it the way it is.
It got pretty rough the last few years of service. I agree though, I hope it just gets a really good retracking.
I feel lucky to have ridden American Eagle about 4 years ago when they did race the coasters, and we were one of the last people in the park before closing so we got to do it twice. Our red train also won twice, so that was neat.
Since they chose to build a ground up RMC (Goliath) over RMCing AE, I lost hope SF ever would/could afford to properly RMC Eagle
Man....I remember riding the Eagle when I was a kid with my parents both are gone now, fondest memories
4:25 Wait what 😳I think I know that channel 😂 Thanks man
I absolutely LOVE American Eagle!! IMHO, it’s smoother than Viper. SFGAm already has an RMC. That would be amazing if they would get a single-rail buuuut...it is six flags...so probably not. Fantastic video as usual!
Thank you!
I honestly never pick a wheel seat on either coasters, so I can't speak on which is rougher. 2nd back row is my favorite for getting airtime while avoiding sudden jolts.
I Call it “Termites Holding Hands”
If that’s why the structure is aging....the parks needs to hire exterminators and they should fly over the park in a plane and shower the coaster down with bug spray....LOL
You presented a lot of good points. I would live to see what RMC can do with this ride, but I also really want to ride American Eagle in all of it's historic glory.
I remember the circus which became part of the Q for the eagle. Don't need to speculate as to why it no longers races. After decades and weather. The vibration from the cars causes severe vibration you can feel. That puts stress on the entire structure. I'm glad to have been on it from the first season it. opened. Watched the building, opening and the decay it's gone through and had fun with my kid there. We've rode all the coasters.
thanks for the video i am 58 years old why that is important is the fact that im the last of a generation to remember riverview which
had 5 wooden coasters im also part of the original teenagers who went to great america the day that great america opened the eagle was so important to me because chicago finally got a great wooden coaster again of course kiddy land had the little dipper i wish they could retrack it as it is
no, it wouldn't just be the longest hybrid coaster in the world I've done the math it would be the world's longest coaster. BUT it would have to be a Mobius Loop.
5:03 😂 my first coaster rides was on the demon and eagle in 1991 and we raced, and i noticed the Streets of Rage BGM playing in the background very fitting.
With RMC American Eagle they would have 3 coasters with RMC track because RMC manufactures S&S 4d free spin track.
I love the eagle. I hope they don’t destroy it
Six flags doesn’t care about two similar coaster by each other they put 2 boomerangs next to each other
Okay, you probably won't see this because this video is old but newcomers will. Anyways, for the past 4 years I operated American Eagle. The reason for it not racing often is for a few different reasons.
1. Dueling trains add too much stress on the helix.
As you stated the helix does get shaky towards the end. Two trains going at the same time apply stress on the helix and can cause the track to break, bend, and simply make the ride uncomfortable for others.
2. The issue with people throwing things at each other has gotten worse.
People are throwing things at each other whether it's something small like a hair tie or something larger. We can't risk that.
3. Not enough people want to ride the other train.
When we have low ridership, there is no reason to run the other train or if we do, when there aren't many people on the other train, it still isn't very fun to race.
So, There you have it! These are some of the main reasons on why we don't let American Eagle race anymore!
Those are the answers I saw other ride ops giving except number two which makes me sad because they race Racer at Kings Island. I think that the Cincinnati locals are a little less rude overall, so they might have less problems with that. :(
Thanks for stopping by and confirming all that. :)
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining Oh of course! I think the main reason for people throwing things is because American Eagle is a win or a lose. We have absolute lovers, and absolute haters. We had a case where somebody tried to throw a stick at someone and it landed on the track and had to be removed or it could've caused issues. I don't know how they got on the ride without somebody taking it away, I don't even know where they got the stick. We don't leave sticks lying around. American Eagle most likely won't shut down but I think it'll end up like how Vortex at Kings Island did. Where there are just a few people wanting to ride it and it has a poor reputation for how rough it is. We don't want it to be like that so that is why the racing stopped. I don't know every detail. That is all the people in the maintenance facility told us. There is probably more to it. But I'm glad you saw this!
I love this ride it means a lot to me. I just hope they do something good for it.
I dont care what they do, as long as demon and whizzer stay. They're not only historic and amazing, but they're big rider friendly, and have small height requirements so younger riders can enjoy.
You have an excellent announcement voice. The video is really entertaining and informative. Keep up the excellent work with future projects. I remember riding American Eagle when it first opened. Just the thrill of being up so high and speeding around the track was exhilarating but the first drop was terrifying. The triple ferris wheel was really cool too but scary at the same time but the park removed it years ago. Marriotts Great America was something special back in the day. Six Flags just doesn't have that charm that the original park had. When the season pass first came out it was a really great excuse to ditch school and you just had to pay local tax with your season pass at the gate. I'm not sure but I think the amount at that time was .31 cents. Instead of spending your lunch money in the cafeteria you had the entire selection of the restaurants at the park. I'm not sure if they still have the picnic grove areas these were designed for special events and company outings when booked which in fact closed off the park to regular guests for the day. When your company or special event was booked for the park it was lunch in the picnic grove hotdogs and hamburgers with or without cheese and chips with other basic picnic foods and soft drinks. The real fun was the park wasn't crowded and no lines to wait for rides because you had the whole park to yourself that day. I don't even know if they still have the tiny rootbeer shop or the hot chocolate shop. Oh the real gem back then was the Pictorium a HUGE screen movie theater located near the Sky Trek Tower. Before it's removal they tried to make it a 3D/thrill ride experience. I think that theater had potential but back then they didn't have many choices for movies. Oh yeah when the park first opened it was equipped with 2 separate aerial tram ways those were SO COOL because it cut on time walking to the opposite sides of the park. Your video brought back so many memories and good times. Thank You
Six Flags Great America is my home park too, I live close enough to ride my bike there.
My home park is St. Louis. So thinking of similar situation with Screaming Eagle. I want that sucker preserved. So while I don’t have the emotional attachment to American Eagle as I do Screaming Eagle I still think they should save it. Retrack it, get new trains, make the helix bank or whatever it takes.
Jared Lucas Me too! Did you know Screaming Eagle opened as the tallest and fasted wooden coaster in the world? The airtime hills at the end of the ride are my favorite part, you just fly through them.
Poison Amelia it is just an incredible ride. The speed of its turns, the sounds, it’s layout. I think it is the best legacy wooden coaster I have ever found. I hear the GP making fun of it. Also I have noticed it just doesn’t get the crowds anymore. Still for me, it is my favorite ride in the park. I want a RMC but not if it is at the cost of Screaming Eagle!
I am hopefully riding it this year, it may close because of that, I rode vortex and the day after its closure was announced, I even rode thunder road 2 days before its closure was announced, maybe I should stay away lol. Great video though just subbed
Carbon Dating myself. I rode it when it opened. Demon, then the Eagle. Red and Blue side.
great videos my dude, keep it up
Don't forget, another Six Flags park already has two RMC's there. Fiesta Texas has Iron Rattler and Wonder Woman, even though the latter is a Raptor Track, but it's still two RMC's.
American Eagle? More like Storm Eagle. Nice editing and music choices!
I worked there in 1981, it did not race back then. It was more important to get thru put back then. The only time I got a race in 1981 was an employee night and the supervisors did ops. I also rode with no lap bar the!
This last June, I got 2 race rides! First time since 1981.
Eagle will get RMCed. Eagle was rehabilitated 10 years ago, so they will wait until it needs a refurb. Likely 2022
when new, Gladiator wait was 3 hours...maxxforce and xflight are not bucket list like gladiator was.
If rmc eagle is anything like steel vengence, the park will benefit greatly financially
New CEO and dropping stock price...so they will get green light for something big!
I think that we should talk about what's going on with all the water rides. Roaring Rapids sign has been removed and the que line is now overgrown with brush and weeds. Same with Yankee Clipper. Overgrown.
Was just there last week. It had one of the longest lines in the park.
The reason why the coaster doesn't face anymore is that it is reported from workers on the raging bull that when the two train cars go by the wooden supports shake a lot.
I don’t repeat unofficial information, but this is the general consensus and what I tried to allude to.
Great vid man
This channel is severely undersubscribed. Great job on your videos!
mermaid falls from Shantae playing at the beginning, all I see here is a man of culture
What a banger tho like damn
Zero Credits Remaining Jake Kaufman is a banger factory
ABSOLUTELY
rip shockwave 😔,,, i love when they let u ride the eagle backwards
This is some top notch editing right here. This channel is very underrated imo. But the arguments about the parks having the same type of ride, we are talking about the same exact chain that put two boomerang coasters right next to each other. That RMC conversion argument is not really valid in this. Also, the Eagle doesn't race anymore because the structure was deemed unable to handle both trains on at the same time. And they were looking to RMC the ride before. But I think what stopped them was that it would have been a huge amount of money. Especially because a lot of the structure would have to be replaced.
Would be ironic if it nabbed records from twisted colossus as I think american eagle nabbed all those records from the original colossus.
I rode Eagle in fall of 2018 during fright fest about 10 times in a row right before closing, and the operators were racing the trains. We just kept going over and over, it was a blast. I think they still do race them if the trains are light. They really need to retrack it, repaint it, and give it the TLC it deserves. It can't be replaced, either. The city will not allow SFGA to build another coaster so close to the road. So if Eagle comes down, no more rollercoasters will be going up there.
I would love to see an rmc of this
Great america is also my home park and even though i never ride american eagle anymore its somehow still in my top 5. I would be sad to see it go forsure. Also didnt they have one train running backwards for a while or still doing that?
For its 40th year (2021), they should do to the Eagle what Magic Mountain did to Colossus... RMC it into a Moebius... BTW, a coaster similar to "Jersey Devil" is getting built at MM for 2021...
From what I’ve been told, American Eagle doesn’t duel for a lot of the reasons stated such as the shaking in the helix and strain on the brakes.
The only reason I’ve heard why we haven’t had anything happen to Eagle as of yet is because the town won’t allow any construction on the helix due to its proximity to the highway.
Basically, it doesn’t duel so it can last a bit longer.
There have been rumors of the American Eagle closing for over a decade. Eventually they will have to do something about it.
Dude!!! You’re hilarious!!! Subbed!!!!!
Also not just the toll of the forces of the cars on the ride, but also Gurnee winters cannot be kind on the coaster, either.
Waiting for an RMC conversion because American Eagle is the most iconic and historical coaster at Great America. I love it so much but it’s just too rough for me to enjoy right now.
i don't see SF deciding to RMC american eagle. i heard from someone that if SF were to tear it down they would lose that land therefore there'd be no benefit to getting rid of it. honestly i think the ride itself is great but the shakiness is what drives me away from it.
note: for the best ride experience on american eagle, ride in the front row of whatever car you're in and if possible, ride on the red train.
Yea I have been on this thing starting in the year 1994, it's raggedy almost to the point you can't even enjoy the ride.
Most recently, I heard that the reasons behind six flags great America not racing the American eagle anymore is due to the support structure of the roller coaster not being able to withstand the stress of both trains running at once. Whether they demolish the ride to build a new one, or do an RMC conversion, there are still issues with zoning and construction of a structure so close to a road that is now much busier than it was back in 1980 when the coaster was built. I certainly hope that they can work out a deal with the village of Gurnee for special dispensation or permits to do the work that is needed to convert the ride.
Kentucky Kingdom was able to construct Storm Chaser much closer to a road. Most of the coaster aside from the red side helix isn't all that close to it... I think? I'll be foolishly optimistic that something can be worked out.
I try to avoid including rumors in my videos.
Need to ride it the last time - red train !
I am going to miss that ride when I am there they never race both cars at all I been on both of them I been on red ones and also the blue one too and I hope that six flags won’t close it
GCI retrack might be possible
I think they should do a serious gci retrace like ghost rider except gci hybrid track for inversions
There taking down American eagle and turnturn into a what new safe ride?
I'm three months late to this video, but bring back buzz bars to American Eagle (and put em on Viper while you're at it)
I think complete removal of wooden roller coaster at that park would be a bad idea as people in that part of the country are very attached to some of the “Marriott” era rides such as the Whizzer which is the only remaining unedited original from the 1976 opening season. There was a huge backlash some years ago when the idea of removing the Whizzer was being considered….it’s viewed as a historical ride by many roller coaster communities.
That Little Dipper is from a now-defunct but historic amusement park called Kiddieland which was preserved and restored with new life offering to many kids, their first ride ever on a roller coaster.
What will likely happens is the same thing that happened to both the Cedar Point’s Mean Streak and Magic Mountain’s Colossus which is updating it with the new rail technology, which will require changing some of
It’s design aspects by reinventing the American Eagle. The one advantage it has is that it occupies a LOT of space unlike some of the other coasters in the park that were restricted by space and are very good but not long enough such as Batman: The Ride, Goliath, X-Flite and Maxx Force. All of them good rides but short in length.
Removing the American Eagle altogether and replacing it with a steel coaster would go against what Six Flags Great America has historically done which is preserving various parts of its past like The Demon, the Whizzer and saving old coasters like the Little Dipper.
Certainly the pandemic has impacted everything these days, so I suspect that we may see something regarding the American Eagle in the next 4-8 years. But that’s just me.
I don’t think they will remove it. If Whizzer stayed over shockwave and the demon is somehow still here, that says something about how much the park goers care about sedimental value
They won't replace the eagle. At the beginning of this year I was taking to maintenance, it's too close to the road. The ride was built first and then the road was added years later. The reason they don't race both sides, is because it sways too much. They could do it when it was first built, but it is not capable of do it anymore due to age.
As long as it’s well Respected, it’s got This Countries Name And National Bird on its Title after all
Little Dipper is probably the most historic going back to 1956 I think
I didn’t mean historic as in old, but as in having historic significance. I could have clarified that better. :0
I have a theory and it is the maxx force trailer they have dare devil dive but not American eagle? That’s kinda suspicious if you ask me.
Home park gang but if the best Coaster I've been on six flags will truly go downhill
They use the same render multiple years in a row and because 2019 is when they made it, if they close it in 2020 that would make sense.
Been playing a lot of DQXII?
Absolutely. It keeps me very busy between videos.
I honestly don't understand why Eagle gets all the hate it gets. Sure, it's the roughest ride in the park but it's also got the most airtime out of any other coaster in the park. I hope they're able to keep it for many more seasons.
Me, who's gone to Great America 3 times but it's still my favorite ever.
1st time: no american eagle
2nd: 5 on American Eagle
3rd: 1 on american eagle
I love the Eagle and would hate to see it go, but it is showing it's age. If they built a new Eagle maybe in a hybrid coaster style I would be ok with that, Sad but Ok. Same thing goes for the Demon though the Demon being pretty much used by people today as a Starter coaster keeps it in demand but she's gotten a lot rougher like the Eagle over the years. It's normal to fall in Love with rides like these but at the same time we have to allow for growth and new experiences which I'm not always good with I'll admit too. The Eagle is at a point where they must consider the cost to either rebuild the exact same ride (Boring) or spend the money on something brand new (A very scary gamble for them). All I ask is that IF they decide to replace the Eagle they do it with respect and keep the spirit of the Eagle with them into the new design, maybe a Hybrid called The Screaming Eagle or some such sillyness ;)
P.S I think a GCI refurbishment would be a better option over RMC'ing as GCI remains true to the Wooden "Wild" feel and look. RMC style is Smoother and faster but Fugly and you lose a lot of the Wooden coaster feel as it's more of a Hybrid style. Either would keep Her running but I hope they seriously have a talk with GCI and see what can be done.
The only reason the trains don’t race is because of support issues at the helix, because they have only done emergency matnence and no preventive. My friend was matneince in the park, he said the best chance is to it being retracted by gci and then being called a new ride.
The old girl has officially turned 40 years old! 💙🦅❤️
I remember when I was about 16 years old that was 22 yrs ago an I was at six flags trying to build my courage up to ride a roller coaster that didn’t go upside down AN THERE IT WAS THE AMERICAN EAGLE an the closer I GOT TO RIDE I REALIZED HOW LOUD IT WAS AN HOW OLD IT LOOK 22 years ago SO IM NOT SHOCKED THEY WANT TO PUT IT DOWN BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING WHY THEY DIDNT DO THIS 22 YEARS AGO! Real talk
I’d be seriously upset if they removed the eagle. It’s so historic and still one of the best rides in the park. That first drop still competes with raging bull and Goliath to this day.
I would rather have a gci retrack over an rmc conversion just because I have such an emotional attachment to this ride. It would be sad to see it completely transformed.
American Eagle will simply be refurbished and hopefully be given new trains. The ride is too historic and nostalgic for the people, like myself, who call Six Flags Great America their home park. Anything drastic like what Magic Mountain did turning Colossus into Steel Colossus would be met with extreme backlash.
Don't worry, with an RMC conversion they'll keep the history where RMC AE *NEVER* races despite being advertised as a racing coaster... Just like TC. *#PRESERVATION*
Hoping they learned something and would do it more like WCR.
They luckily can’t take it down because their landlocked and it’s to close to the highway so they can’t do anything with it
Whats the music at the beginning
Mermaid falls from shantae half genie hero
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining Thx man
np ✌️
I'd let them count the racing coasters as 2 coasters IF THEY EVER RAN BOTH SIDES COSISTENTLY!!! Seriously, half of AE has been SBNO for a decade or more.
Surprised Square hadn't hit you with a copyright strike for the Dragon Quest music lol
They out here doing that?! The ost still has multiple uploads w/o strikes.
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining wouldn't shock me. It's square after all and the composer is like 90something years old and doesn't even like the music being sold as an ost lol
@@Posirep It still seems relatively safe to me, but the composer is suuuuuch a tool. Love his music, but screw him. :o
If they remove a single piece of wood from American eagle, they better run ok.
I don’t want the standard Intamin wooden coaster to go extinct. If they do discontinue their wooden coaster, and i make my own coaster company, i will acquire the assets from Intamin’s old coasters.
