Great family coaster. The American Eagle is a classic double racing wooden coaster that is celebrating over 20 years of operation. The Blue side DOES NOT run backwards anymore.

Interesting coaster. I really liked it. Best wooden coaster in the park. - Andrew Dougherty

The Eagle is still IMO the third best coaster in the park, behind X-Flight and Raging Bull. The airtime is great on this ride and is often overlooked when rating wooden coasters. This still offers one of the greatest drops anywhere. - Joey Till

One of the best woodies around wish i could have ridden it backwards Wait time is often short espically if both sides arerunning which usually they are - Bob Miller
