  • Comment removed

  • since im so small the seat belt didnt fit correctly it was only my second roller coaster ever i had to hold my elf down to keep from flying out.

  • This ride is so awesome whrn u go on right before the park closes. I went on tge last ride of the day and i swear it went so much faster and it felt like the cart derailed. Best feeling ever

  • i waz so fyckin scard on diz ride

  • The Back Seat on this ride is better than the raging bull's back seat! But only the blue side.

  • no upside down?

  • Me and my friend went front row on that hsha

  • I went on this twice in one day with my cousin, we swear at it felt like the cars slightly derailed... it was so scary. XD

  • @DragonStarlight iK SAME SENARIO my aunt and me rode it front and backwards and i felt like it was off the tracks too! :P

  • @DragonStarlight I had a daydream this coaster derailed when I was riding it...

  • Backwards was the best

  • I went on this wit my friendz and i sat next too my one friend (me and her have neva bin on this ride) and i was like could u talk too me the whole way up and she like yea so were going up the slow part and im like oh god and she is talkong an im like u should stop talkong she is like sure so i reamber stopping and then just dropping and it was soooooo fun!!!

  • I went on that backwards today!!!!! It was insane! Love that ride but is it true it's closing ? I hope not cuz it's beast

  • They're doing American Eagle backwards from now til Sept. 17th at Six Flags Great America. I rode the blue car backwards yesterday. (And maybe it's me, but I always think the blue one beats the red one when you race them.)

  • @holbrooke7 haha you're right! my friend and i went on this a few weeks ago, we went on it 3 times in a row (no lines that day, it was rainy) and even though the red side went down the drop first, we still won! :)

  • @holbrooke7 i went on it backwards and if you sit in the front, which is the back in this case, it is the best

  • I honestly perfer Wooden Coaster over Steel Coaster. Sure with Steelies you can do loops and greater speeds, but nothing beats the bone jarring action of wodden coasters. Don't get me wrong, I ride steel coasters, but there's something about the nostaligic feeling of wooden coasters.

  • I just went to Six Flags yesterday in Gurnee, IL and I was on the red train and blue won for some reason -_- ... But still, the drop is WAY higher in person and it's faster!

  • The other side looked funner

  • man hades in mt. olympus at wisconsin is way better than this kiddy ride and you suck at camera working

  • I remember about 4 years ago when me my mom and my aunts got on this backwards and we got stuck for like 10 min. and when we finaly got off everyone we saw my mom would yell "WE JUST GOT STUCK DONT GET ON!!!" lol it was halarious

  • if you havent noticed when u go to six flags and ride this ride over 5 times u will see that blue NEVER wins!!!! its always red and thats why i only go on the red train also the blue train takes longer because its track goes higher than the reds track and the reds track is faster but <3 this ride!!!!!!

  • @singingsoccerstar1 Of course red always wins. After all it is THE best color in the world. >:O

  • @mrsims2 yea red always wins but sorry, in m opinion, red is the third best color but its really a nice color im actually using that color for my one of my family members wedding its really nice!!!!! and now that i think about it its actually the best color:)

  • i went to six flags on sundayy it was awesome :) <3

  • Yes there is. Its vertical velocity.

  • I'm guessing the comment below me is spam. There is no x2 ride at great america

  • Im Going to go to six flsgs for the very firdt time on monday with my big sis and her fianc'e and my dad and i cant WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @molmile have fun and if want you can buy a season pass for $79.99 which means that you go at Six Flags for unlimited time during the whole season!

  • the shitty thing about wooden rollercoasters is that they dont have any loops or corkscrews, only drops and hills

  • I went on yesterday literally their was no1 their I went on 15 times in a row

  • @TheAmvision i know rit i have season passes and flash passes and we keep going on it we went on it 20 times in a row we didnt even get out of the train!!!!!

  • yesterday i went on this ride (on closing time) and the person went 12 times without getting off

  • I had my tongue out and i was holding on to my friend then got off and said lets go again

  • Ahh this is still my favorite ride, p.s. the red side is better! >:D

  • 0:57 - If you listen closey a can hear the Wilhelm Scream, even though it's not actually the Wilhelm Scream.

  • is it just me or does it feel like the cart is jumping off the tracks when i get on it xD lol

  • @FlyingDanger17 No it really does jump off.  Or atleast the seats in the back do.

  • @TheGameMaster7771 I bet the back ones do thats why i go in the front seats.

  • Best Ride Ever, I remember once going on there and I could see the Sears Tower and most of the other Chicago Skyscarpers.

  • Favorite ride ever

  • This year the American Eagle turns 30... It's as old (almost) as my parents, and they both loved it.

  • @CountryMusicCentral man well put I was gonna ask if they shortened it LoL!!!!

  • This ride is awesome but it kinda scares me that it's a wooden coaster and old because it can fall

  • i always yell fuck you! to the red coaster xD

  • holy crap! howd u video tape this?!

  • I went to that ride

  • I like the red side better !

  • how many rides do you normally get to ride in one day???

  • I can't wait either! : DD

  • I can't wait to go to Sixflags this year.(: Going to be Epic<33

  • Ride too short!

  • OMG

  • I've been on everything at SFGA and I still find this the scariest. It feels like a rickety old contraption that might fall apart any second. It feels like the cars are always about to jump the tracks and you just stood in the line where you have a chance to take a good long look at the rusty nuts and bolts holding this old wooden gray mare together. I always think it will collapse from age and decay while I'm on it xD

  • @AseraphsephirothZ That's what makes it fun!

  • @critique45 Agreed :)

  • @AseraphsephirothZ I know hwat yo mean im 15 and i went last summer it was hilarious and frighting cause my 40 year old dad said he went on it as a kid and it was so rickety i will never get on it again

  • raging bulll= best

    

  • @AseraphsephirothZ i feel the same way!!! it always feels like you are gonna hit your head!!!

  • @AseraphsephirothZ I was just at six flags today and this definetly was the scariest and most painful. I went on raging bull right before this-(which was really smooth) and I kept thinking holy crap this rides going to collapse right now.

  • That thing's ancient !

  • I used to work at Six Flags and you know what, the wood on the eagle is in better shape than it looks.  They put alot of money of making sure that things like wood breaking off dosen't happen. Amusement Parks are all about money, and they aint trynna lose none.

  • can u make one thats going backwords i think u can on that ride

  • This is a rough ride. I dont know if they still do backwards on this ride. The speed is pretty good and those bumps are fun too. Too bad it takes alot of space and its wood so it wont be there for very long.

  • did u ever notice that like ALL the six flags have big wooden rollercoasters that need a paint job, hurt when u ride, and are old? :P there rolling thunder, collosus, and this one

  • the latch got stuck when I tried to get out. I was like hell yeah, one more, but then the dude fixed it. :/

  • @y2jfanlol yea with the little pin thing he puts in the ground???

  • this ride has been breaking down a lot in 2010...

  • @emowolfpup96 its probbally gonna break soon the lst time i rode that the red was closed so i was like awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • @lotionlover1 lol awww

  • this year i took my friend on this for the first time. when we were going up he started crying. as soon as we drop his eyes are wide open and his mouth was open so big i can see his tonsils. lol this ride woke him up. this ride is a true wooden coaster i love it even if its rough

  • ya ur right bout hte drop

  • haha At first I thought your camera thing was bouttah' drop

  • the scary part isnt the ride its seeing the rotting wood

  • @skaters243 my mom used to love that ride lol. i don't know if i want to go on it because it's gold old ricketty wood D:

  • an amazing ride one of the best

  • this and the iron wolf are the only ones i didint ride....was i missing out?

  • @A1NCISME YESSSS

  • @A1NCISME well, you definitely weren't missing out on the iron wolf because that one hurts like a bitch, and the american eagle is pretty bumpy unless you go in the front row.

  • dude once me and my cousin were in the red one and it got stuck for 30 mins while going up for the drop.

  • sigh... this ride made me shit my pants...

  • the only thing I didn't like about this ride was how bumpy it was.I mean litterely all you could feel was constant bumping

  • even better when it goes backwards.

  • There are differences between the two coasters. The blue one is faster (Chain and all) at the beginning and the red one is faster towards the end (After the curved bank)

  • i wnet on it wen i was 3, my uncle sneaked me on and now even though im alot older im still scared! lol

  • The first drop seems so much bigger when you're actually on the ride...

  • @CountryMusicCentral it does it feels much taller and faster!!!!

  • @singingsoccerstar1

    Yeah! I think it's like that with all roller coasters videos though...Like, I was watching a video of Vertical Velocity (and that ride is fast as HELL!!)...and on the video, it looked kind of lame. But in real life, it's the exact opposite!

  • My first roller coaster.

    My friend said it wasent scary & she was rite. the only skary part is tha 1st drop. I thot i was gonna flyy outtt.

  • when i went BLUE WON!

  • this ride was only build 30 years ago.

  • its so scary at night!!!!

  • @patricio6143 Thats soo true.

  • i hate the iron wolf

  • They UPGRADED the ride!! The RED is TWICE AS FAST!!!!! I Been on this like 50 times !!!!

  • I tried it, it was a nice experience backwards racing

  • Actiually in my opinion the best ride is the ragging bull

  • I love this ride!!! Its so shaky and old that its scary!!! Frickin Awesome!!

  • I'm 9 and I can go on ther

  • lol i was on t

    he red ones and they broke down rate before the big drop so we were stuck up there for like 20 minutes and they told us that they stoped it on purpise

  • why did they stop running it backwards?

  • @poofy917 theu switch it up every few years...i think it was front, back, front, back, and front again lol thats how many times they switched it

  • ive gotten stuck on this ride way to many times....

  • thats my 3rd favorite ride there

  • awesome!!

  • god this coaster wasss so freaking shaky like hell.

  • haha me and my friend we went seperate and i went on blue and ma friend went on red...im like its like a race..

  • HAHA. Ive been on this. AWESOME!

  • i passed out on the drop, it was my first roller coaster ever

  • i hated this ride!!! so scary D:

  • this ride sounds so raggedy!!! lol...BUT I LIKE THE AMERICAN EAGLE THO!!!! THIS COMES FOURTH ON MY LIST OF FAV AT SIX FLAGS

  • our old neighbor died doing construction on this ride. he fell down far

  • the red one is the fastest and scariest ever omg i went there before it was awesome

  • Lol i went on the red 1wit my friend and when we were next 2 the blue 1 i yelled were faster then u bitchez haha they looked at me wit a mean face

  • Great America in Gurnee sucks! They hardly ever get new rides anymore. I heard their getting a coaster from a Six Flags that closed in Kentucky. The name of that ride is Chung. It's been sitting in storage. Why can't Great America rides like Top Thrill Dragster or Millenium Force? Instead, they keep crap coasters like The Demon, The Whizzer & Iron Wolf. The only good rides at Great america are Raging Bull, Viper, American Eagle, Batman, Vertical Velocity, Giant Drop & Fiddler's Fling!

  • @amstell13 Well..if six flags sucks ass to you, then why the fuck do you go to it? If it sucks ass to you then do ever come back there! I really feel like beatin ur ass rite now because you really juss annoyed me very much. I'm not gonna argue with you because we on youtube and fighting on youtube is lame as fuck! So shut the fuck up !

  • @Jalae1 , I don't go there anymore pussy! Don't plan on going there ever again. That place is for people from the ghetto & trailer park trash from Waukegan & the surrounding suburbs! You wouldn't last a minute with me fuckhead!

  • @amstell13 If you hate great America so much like you claim, why are you watching a video of it?

  • @mrsims2 , to reassure my thought of it sucking as much as it does! Great America can't compete with Cedar Point, King's Island, King's Dominion & other top parks!

  • @amstell13 if its so ghetto how come its the cleanest amusement park in america?

  • @amstell13 and you wouldn't last a millasecond with me

  • @checkerace50 , Yeah OK

  • rode this today red and blue

  • um this look like the ride from Carowinds i think it is called thunder road but

    the i guess they just change the name or carowinds just coped the ride i guess

  • i love waving to the people next to me when it goes at the same time i ttell the kids there gonna die

  • i went yesterday i we did not get a chance to go on this one!!! it suxs

  • ive ridden a half shitload of roller coasters and this is my favorite because of the ride it gives and the pure off the tracks about to collapse feeling you get

  • i don't really like wooden coasters because you can feel every plank of wood that you go over. serious butt pain....

  • Iv'e read some sad stories on here... but try loosing 50 dollars on this ride... lmao. I was laughing too hard to be mad because my friend had his face painted like a lion, but the lady messed up and he looked like the guy from mask.

  • @StormMetal1

    Yea the heights and the loops at Superman are pretty scary but they feel soo awesome!

  • When I rode the American Eagle, the carts stopped like all of a sudden so that the metal bar punctured us.

  • jgkut7jit7ityityiut  fack you

  • yes omg i love this ride i went on it 8 times in a row without getting out of my seat.

  • Your boring bitch.

  • i been i think when i was eight i was on this we rember how old i was when i went

  • ive been on this hundreds of times the drop is shockingly high

  • the shaking gave me a headache

  • I always went on the one on the left for some reason. Call me superstitous. Once in '99, I picked a little hard berry off a tree while I was in line and let go of it on the first drop (which looks so quick and tiny on video). It floated around in front of me for a few seconds like a scene out of Apollo 13. My friend and I didn't expect that to work at all and we pretty much laughed the entire rest of the ride.

  • you suck

  • This ride rules but I am terrified of Giant Drop and Superman, I am extremely terrified of Heights and Superman is just uncomfortable

  • One of the best woodies out there!

  • i like this ride but i think they should tear it down.. they should make one bigger and better than the ragin bull

  • OMG I HAVE HUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE FEARS OF ROLLERCOASTERS SO I WOULD EITHER START CRIEING LIKE A BABY OR PEE IN MY PANTS I HATE ROLLERCOASTERS!!!!!!!!anyway i love seeing people freek out on thoes rides though lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-JustinBie­berFan50!

  • i hate them too but once u get to the topped it doesnt look so high. and im treified of hieghts

  • You do know that Justin Bieber Sucks right?

  • ohmygosh i almost cried on tht ride!

    the scary thing is its made out of wood.

    so it can break.

    becuz its very old.

    youre lucky.

    your camera didnt fall lol

  • Wood may be not as structurally as sound as steel, but that's why wooden coasters are engineered to experience less stress than steel coasters. Both are equally as safe as each other. And this one was (relatively) recently built - the early 1980's. The world's oldest coaster was built in 1902, and that's still running very safe. Oh, wooden coasters are still being built. (The newest one opened in China last August.) But they're not built as often as steel coasters.

  • i have never gone on blue side

  • rode this yesterday

  • i remember riding this a couple of months ago.. lol.. i screamed to the top of my lungs! this was aweeesome

  • I remember riding this...almost crap my pants...lol

  • THATS CRAZY!!

  • Awesome! My all time favorite. Now I can watch during the winter months. Haha!

  • red gay they closed it down because of rain and blue already left(i was on) and there like oh lets open red and we still lost!

  • red always wins

  • @refel101 ya cuz the red has a shorter way around the helix than blue does

  • @refel101 not when iwen't there

  • rather bumpy

  • IT IS WOOD!DOH!

  • cant wait for fright fest

  • me 2 im going there today!

  • Fright Fest sucked this year! They did not have any scary music playing in the background and there was no one that were dressed up walking around. Not to sure it was because they are hurting or what, I was just disappointed for this years Fright Fest. Maybe it will be better next year. Lets hope!

  • is there even a seatbealt?

  • Blue side suck
