Not a bad woodie. I only got 1 ride on this, and I was too scared to get the back for the roughness, so I got very front. Not as much airtime is it could've had, because it's a strict out and back coaster, but still fun. - Eli Katzman

An old school wooden coaster that races through the terrain quickly and painfully. The ride is so old and unkempt that most adult riders will require an appointment with a chiropractor after a single ride. While I am not a fan of this coaster, if you must ride it, ride it at night, as it is a much better ride in the dark. Also note that Screamin' Eagle is the only coaster at SFSTL that is not a Flashpass attraction, so the waits can be long during the peak touring times of a busy day. - James Rao

perfect old wooden coaster - Anthony Aldridge
