American Eagle Drone Footage 4K GIANT WOODEN COASTER Six Flags Great America Gurnee,IL

[@Thioester66]

One of the best first drops on any coaster. The helix is the second best part and a great build-up to the second half of the ride.

Beautiful drone footage, especially the huge spiral in front of the freeway.

This thing’s fun. Wish Six Flags would retrack some parts of it. It kinda needs it. Classic and historical ride though

[@Mgattone]

Fun fact: they will never be able to take down this ride. The cranes used to do it would cause I-94 to shut down, which will never happen.

[@maverickheartlineroll]

I like big wood 🔥🔥🔥

[@GuyT-z7o]

Feeling to lazy to look it up.. is this a huge Intamin woody racer? That turn around though, wow!

[@EastCoasters]

It is indeed!

[@GuyT-z7o]

I figured as much Intamin loves those giant helixes on their woodies

[@MistahPuff]

It was actually the first wooden coaster they ever made!

[@RCDRONE1010]

I fear the day Great America decides to remove American Eagle but I’m slightly comforted knowing that it would be an absolute logistical nightmare to dismantle that behemoth.

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

I actually didn’t hate this but the helix was weird

[@Rollercoaster_breath]

this looks so much tamer than onride, I personally dontblike it and it eels like being dragged throughhelll lol

[@juneannmoss5897]

I’d rather you ride it and film your ride. Front seat please.

[@EastCoasters]

Have you not even bothered to check out the POVs we uploaded for this ride? Nobody gets this footage so it’s just a bonus..

[@willcallaway8783]

Rmc that old thing.

[@EastCoasters]

RMC isn’t always the option

[@koalakyle19]

Nooooo, I get standing airtime on eagle already with barely any wait time

[@JimboC5]

This would be an amazing RMC!!! There’s way too much structure for it to not be an RMC.

They need to rehab and race again or tear it down.
