Channel 6 News Update: Get ready for National Roller Coaster Day!

[@WolfRaging95]

86, 23, 3 are the numbers given in the first one. Multiply 86 * 23 + 3 = 1981. 1981 is the year American Eagle opened. A quote "summer is flying by." Was used in the first teaser. "Flying by" could be referenced to flying like an Eagle. Red, White and Blue T-Shirts worn in teasers. Thunder Eagle?

[@poke1796]

welp. we’re getting a water coaster

[@samspeterson566]

Wait notice how in every teaser they just get closer and closer to American eagle

[@samspeterson566]

And welp, *rmc Eagle? Confirmed. Hotel? Trivago*

American Eagle rmc into steegle

[@jamesr.b.kieliszewski6731]

Severe weather=thunder=American Thunder=Last time 6Flags has worked with GCI. Could it be a GCI retrack and not an RMC?

[@ZeroCreditsRemaining]

That's a reach, but one i'm totally here for and an idea I have been thinking about. Would be pretty cool. Who knows, you could be right.

[@jamesr.b.kieliszewski6731]

Zero Credits Remaining I want Eagle to be smooth and back to its former glory but if it’s RMCed I don’t want it to up Goliath. So it’ll still be a halfway coaster for kids and a stepping stone and it doesn’t leave Goliath in the dust(especially when you compare it to other RMCs)

[@howenator]

Yes, it could be the new model showcased at IAAPA and the world’s first inverting dueling/racing coaster.

[@hayadash5273]

I think a GCI Retrack makes more sense. And besides i’m hoping that a RMC T-Rex would come to the park in the near future. And if they like, GCI can also redo the coaster with their Dueling Coaster that was shown at IAAPA 2018.

[@samspeterson566]

Welp they improved on acting and qualiry

[@Tribenix]

In the next video, if tommy is by Goliath, RMC eagle confirmed.

[@avortigaunt3922]

Yes. Absolutely

[@sfmg]

Yes

[@spacegeneral8630]

@Jake Paterkiewicz i hope. If not this year. It must be 2021

[@spacegeneral8630]

AND if they're wearing red white and blue again

[@howenator]

Wait, American Eagles top speed is 66 miles per hour, there are 2 mugs with 6 Flags on it. There’s a new logo for the teaser. Is there a possibility that 6 actually means something?

[@spacegeneral8630]

Yes. And the fact they're wearing the red white and blue shirts

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Guys I don’t want American Eagle to get RMCed. I’m not saying RMCing it is stupid....that would be awesome....it’s just I’m not ready to say goodbye to the current Eagle .... I love it the way it is. But they need to smoothen it out and make it duel again. 🥺

[@bruvno18]

It's nostalgic and all, it was my first coaster, but I think sfgam needs to bring back American eagle as it's headline attraction

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

I don’t like where this is going....😭 Eagle please don’t die....

[@spacegeneral8630]

I'm sad too but think of the possibilities

Jim Reid Anderson me too I’m so hyped

[@bruvno18]

I feel that it won't be a crazy RMC that we've all been hoping for and will probably just have a slightly change of its layout and smoother it and a steeper drop. 😉 Goliath already takes the Cake for extreme RMC and the park and they probably won't top it

[@samspeterson566]

I also realized all of their shirts are red white and blue

[@JBThrills]

In the caption it said severe weather headed for SFGA maybe a new storm themed ride?

[@avortigaunt3922]

Here's why they will RMC Eagle: They are referencing roller coaster day today. And they put such an emphasis on riding it. Almost like it could be one of the last chances people will have. And 2, they are wearing red, white, and blue. Also, C'mon guys, why would they be referring to innovation being in their DNA at one of the older coasters at the park. Plus, (this might be fake, but I'll keep an eye on it) i saw a comment saying if you look in the right spot, you can find rmc grey support things and new wood. It might be immanent guys.b

[@algus7626]

I went a few days ago, and in the red side, we were just chilling in the break run, and I noticed some stacks and pallets of new wood. This could mean something!! This also might not be what I think it is, but I also saw white pick-ups with I KNOW workers and I'm guessing supervisors looking and stopping by that street inside the park looking at the rides I'm guessing structure for five or ten minutes. There were three or four trucks that I noticed that day.

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

No that wood has been there since last year, when they re painted a lot of the eagle when u enter the park the backway you can see it looks nice. But when they were repainting they replaced a lot of supports as well because they were old. It’s just spare wood

[@mikeytea5703]

There's no way they're adding two roller coasters two years in a row.

[@algus7626]

Well, yeah. They will just close it 2020 season to get started because this will be such a huge project

[@bruvno18]

Well um el toro and king da ka we’re back to back. 🧐🧐🧐

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

We can only wish

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Bruv No really?

[@rileyberge7945]

Kevin Yeah. Don’t wish you were Great Adventure though. The last ride they got was a few years ago, the Joker 4D freespin clone. Before that was a relocated stand up if I remember correctly. They are barely getting attention.

[@JMProductions669]

I've been wanting them to do this ever since I rode Goliath and experiencing a hybrid wooden coaster. AMERICAN EAGLE DESERVES IT! The timing is right but all we can do is wait and see what they say.

[@howenator]

Well, it’s confirmed!

[@coasterport]

Means nothing lol

[@howenator]

I know, I was joking about SF overhyping what they’re adding next year.

[@coasterport]

@@howenator But I do think its happening for 2021 tho... RMC Eagle that is (assuming we are on the same page)

[@redeyereel]

I couldn't find America Eagle on the new flash passes and I haven't seen the coaster race since 2018. I'm convinced that there going to rmc American Eagle in 2020 or 2021.

[@someloser2847]

Eagle was never on flash pass

[@redeyereel]

@@someloser2847 Thanks for the info.

[@redeyereel]

@@someloser2847 I still think they'll RMC it because I've haven't seen the coaster race since 2018 and the ride has not aged well it keeps getting rougher. If it doesn't get RMC that's fine but they could give it a retrack in some areas.

[@someloser2847]

Red Eye Hurricane I doubt there will be an rmc conversion when Goliath is in the same park. When eagle does go I think they’ll just knock the whole thing down.

[@redeyereel]

@@someloser2847 I love Goliath but it is short and everybody complains about it plus Six Flags added two RMC coasters at Festia Texas.

[@Mista4oewun4oe]

It wouldn't surprise me if it is indeed the Eagle being redone or maybe even replaced with something even better. It is honestly time to do something with the Eagle, time simply just hasn't been good to the old girl.

[@jakethecake6952]

RMC????

[@PocketC00KIE]

Ohhhhh shit. RMC EAGLE?!?!

[@sixflags_fan7761]

Steegle

[@spacegeneral8630]

Hahahahha that was a pretty good joke

[@someloser2847]

The whole time they talked about how great the eagle is, I don’t think it’s going. Plus last week everyone said buccaneer battle is going. Pick one thing to go and stick to it.

[@avortigaunt3922]

Yes but i can support the theory. Number 1, they're saying, "innovation is in their DNA." Why would they be next to an old coaster and mention innovation while wearing red white and blue? And why say specifically ride this? Maybe because it's going soon... and coming back? Sorry got a bit too dramatic. They just put so much emphasis on riding it as soon as you can on it

[@mitchellries256]

I sure hope American Eagle doesn't get the RMC treatment. It doesn't need it (just like Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom didn't need it either). Plus they already got and RMC coaster there (Goliath).

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

But it needs a refurbishment badly! It is getting really bumpy and it barley duels anymore. But I still don’t want to see it go.

[@mitchellries256]

TigerRocks503 Aka: Chase I suppose it could use the GCI treatment then. But it doesn't matter. I don't see it happening because Six Flags would've announced that it would be closing by now. In fact, it probably would be closed by now if it was happening.

[@znatscubing4426]

It’s technically two different type of rides. Goliath is a ground up woodie, if American eagle gets rmced it will be a wood-hybrid

[@mitchellries256]

ZnatsCubing That's not really much of a difference. Despite the fact that American Eagle would be a steel coaster and Goliath is a wooden coaster (technically still hybrid considering some of the supports are made of steel), the trains, elements, and maneuvers on both types of coasters are really no different from each other. The only real true difference between the two coaster types is the track, which wouldn't be enough for me to build another.
