 American Eagle
Six Flags Great America
American Eagle wooden coaster is an out and back racer. Two tracks run parallel to each other allowing the trains to race side-by-side for most of the ride. After cruising down the 147-foot first drop the American Eagle flies over several low lying hills before reaching the impressive helix at the opposite end. The return run is just as fun with a series of exciting drops and bunny hops.
