It’s bold and brash, it doesn’t belong in the trash.
Its red, white, and blue and goes 62
Still there right now, went last summer
Ride in the last car if you want to have a near death experience. That car literally comes off the tracks lol
are you serious?
I've ridden the this ride numerous times and that seems to be the "legend" of the ride. I'm not sure if it's true but when you ride back there it feels like it lol.
+Olenska You can feel the last car in the train get air born and bounce after it comes back down on drops. It's probably impossible for it to come all the way off, it's just an added thrill to the ride.
It FEELS like it, but there would have to be a massive failure in that last cart
for it to physically leave the track .....

It's true! I'm a backseat rider and it comes off every time. Well tomorrow I'm look forwards to it!
Criminally underrated. It has everything I look for in a classic wooden coaster
This was the first rollercoaster I ever went on, and one of my favorite ones too.
Same
Try going on the Batman one omg that one was to intense
Same.
My first one also. Loved this rollercoaster.
Same
I worked there the summer of 93. Got my son a season pass. This was his favorite ride. He called it the "Screamee-knee-gall" I said he could ride IF he was tall enough - he'd JUST turned 4 in July, so I thought I'd hit the perfect dodge cause I HATE roller coasters ... but no. He was tall enough by a full half an inch! [ He's 6'6" now ] I had to ride that danged thing 24 times ... He still loves roller coasters and he still remembers that summer too.
Hi
24 times! 😧 You’re the best parent ever!
Damn you a good ass parent lol
Awww that’s so cute
The Screamin’ Eagle may seem fairly tame compared to today’s coasters, but I think it still delivers. Forget about inversions, AIRTIME is what coaster fans want, and this one has it in spades. I like the third hill. That’s where she really picks up speed, roaring to the finish. Great, great coaster.
Exactly! I love how much airtime you get on this. I rode it yesterday and was flying out my seat (I was in the very back) and loved every second of it! I love this ride. It's definitely my favorite at the park.
Help me out, as I'm not the coaster enthusiasts you are: is "airtime" the amount of time you spend literally elevated off the seat, or something else? TIA!
@@jamesbafaro-ou6hj Yes, airtime means floating off the seat.
@@jamesbafaro-ou6hjAirtime is when you feel lifted up off of your seat.
Agreed. Also by putting the big drop after a flat, lateral cruise, you equalize the thrill (terror) between the front & back car. By having the drop immediately after the big first hill climb, (most coasters) the front car gets a watered down thrill. And the back car gets a terrifying one (maybe a little too scary) This is because in a conventional design, the weight of the last few cars won't allow the front car to begin accelerating until it's at least 1/4th, maybe more, down the hill. And the back car starts accelerating before it's even reached the top.
Screaming Eagle looks fun! If I visit St. Louis, or perhaps live there, I would enjoy Six Flags St. Louis.
I went on this ride at this same park 11yrs ago.Now this Thursday I am going again with my Dad and 4 of my younger siblings and church youth group.
If you sit in the back of the cart on this ride, at the drop at 1:37 you will get extreme airtime! It almost feels like the cart come of the track!
On one of the turns the back cart used to come off the track for a split second! But they fixed it
Dangerzone I'm quite aware this comment was made 3 years ago but I can't help myself. The train can't just lift of the track. It has upstop wheels. It never did and never will
It still comes off the track lol

A.K.A: The WHIPLASH
Awesome ride!!! Most underrated coaster, great airtime!!!!
This was my first roller coaster and I rode it when I was 7. It was great and one of my favorite experiences to this day
This is one of my favorite rides in the park. I got to SFSTL every summer Multiple times PLUS frightfest a few times.. love this one its older yet smoother than the boss
This is one old classic I would like to knock off my bucket list.
I first rode The Screaming Eagle in 1978 and loved it. It's been about 10 years since I've ridden it, having moved a long way away now. But whenever I travel back home to Wisconsin and pass the park while traveling on Hwy. 44 (?) I always look over and see this beautiful coaster, nestled nicely back in the wooded hillside. If memory serves, the first drop is 92' and the second biggest drop (third hill) is 87'.
Yah unfortunately the chain lift is broken because its stoping at the to all the time now and somtimes never starts till its fixed,
I love this ride! The airtime is amazing! One of my favs in the park.
No joke this is actually my favorite ride in the park and I ride it at least twice every time I visit. I especially love how you leave your seat quite a bit during airtime. It does kinda feel like it's gonna fall apart any moment, but that's part of the thrill of riding it.
This was my FAVORITE ride at Six Flags St. Louis!!!
This was my first large coaster back in 2007 when I was six. Every year when we'd go up to visit family in St. Louis (we're from Springfield) we'd go to Six Flags and I'd ride this coaster almost all day. Looking back I feel really bad for my cousins because they wanted to go ride the bigger rides but I didn't want to. Now I'm sixteen and I've gone to many more amusement parks and ridden more coasters, but the Screaming Eagle is still one of my favorites. The ejector air time is just so amazing! And it is still smooth!
Rode this the first season it was open. I think i was 7 or 8...my dad and i waited to get the front car and had a blast! Still my favorite coaster at age 52!
This is the first rollercoaster I ever rode. Rode in the very back seat and I swore I thought I would be thrown out of the seat. The next time I rode it, I made sure I was up in the middle. Took a while to sit in the first car, but that one was the best ride. Thanks for posting this. Brought back alot of good memories!
Very first coaster I rode too!
was the bigest fastest coaster in the world
the boss came in 2000 and doubled all of its stats
Well, except for the speed part.
Philip Baker boss max speed in the green train is at least 72 mph, thats faster than mister freeze by a little bit
Yeah, my comment was just a little tongue in cheek about "doubling all of its stats". Although, I would love to see a coster go 124 mph.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingda_Ka
The Boss only goes 66 miles per hour. If it really did go that fast, Six Flags would be boasting that saying it was the second fastest wooden roller coaster in the world.
the first time i went to six flags this was one of the last rides i rode there and it was definetly my favorite
I remember the Screaming Eagle. Not because I went to Six Flags but because my cousins went every summer and told me about it. I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever heard of.
I rode this for the first time on Monday, Jesus it's great!
A solid! Been there since (at least ) I was 12 years old & it's there now. Still strong, they wouldn't have as many speed coasters if they first didn't have the blue prints on this one - maybe another alike. Crowd pleasing time after time. Never fading as age continues on.
Rode this when it opened in the 70's when it was the longest and fastest in the world. It was a fun experience.
One of their 2 coasters that's older than me. But it will always be iconic. And another reason why the Philadelphia Toboggan company is still going strong after 109 years in the business!
This was my first real coaster over 20 years ago! How crazy. Glad I found it.
This is the roller coaster that got me into coasters
Awkward moment when crowd is there waiting and no one on the ride sounds amused. xD Love this ride though! So much better in nighttime
Great memories of this coaster when I would visit St Louis. It's a good one
The Screamin' Eagle is an awesome example of the coaster genius which was John Allen.
This was my first roller coaster ride, such a classic!
At 40 years old I've been from the Screaming Eagle Six Flags St Louis to the newest ride at Busch Gardens being the iron gwazi as I've grown with the wooden roller coasters I can still say they're my favorite
This ride is so fun! It is very scenic too
As sad as it sounds, this was actually my first coaster when I was 10 or so (apparently I went on Space Mountain when I was six, but I have NO memory of it). When I asked my sister how scary it was, she responded, "Not at all."
...thanks sis.
Ahh nothing like screaming every 2 seconds 😌
Good coaster, although you do get roughed up a bit .
Almost flew out on the bumps
In Gurnee, IL it's called The American Eagle...same coaster but much much worse than this :(
MirakoSynth lol besides being a wooden coaster it's different.
seriously. I felt liek I shook so much I had a concussion.
If this is painful a fly landing on your leg is extremely painful...
Went here yesterday, let me tell you one of the best in the park.
My friend loved this ride when we went for a band trip this past Saturday
My first coaster ! 1979, I was four years old. Been hooked ever since !
We traveled from Chicago and went for a day. This park is not very good for flat rides; the park layout is confusing, but this coaster is excellent. The height requirement is quite low--42." My 5 year old went on it with me and quite honestly, I thought he was a goner. Somehow he survived, but the ride was probably way too intense for him.
It has been my favorite ride since I was young and I always loved this ride and I rode it when I was 8 and I work at six flags in st Louis
This was a wild ride back in the day. I was there the day it opened.It seems so tame now in comparison to what has been created since.
This was the first roller coaster I ever rode. Summer 1994 between fourth and fifth grade.
For this roller coaster to be as old as it is... it's by far one of the smoothest wooden coasters I've ever had the chance to ride! This and the Cannon Ball at Lake Winnie are the smoothest ever, for their age!
It's a classic ride .just plain roller coaster fun .I love it 😍
First ever rollercoaster last year, front row seat, right side, i was shaking for an hour afterwords, AMAZING RIDE!
This was also my first coaster glad people also have happy memories about it
After the second drop there used to in the 90’s be a second little bump hill, they removed it back in the late 90’s maybe 2000’s, but it’s still a fantastic coaster!
I rode this in the fall of 1996. It was a blast. Good times!
One of my favorite roller coasters EVER!!!
I rode this when I was 6... I didn't ride another for about 7 years XD but I was so small, my dad had to hold me to keep me from flying out! Now I love dollar coaster :3
I remember riding this beast 35+ years ago. It shook me so hard it made my internal organs physically sore lol. I still rode it every time I went lol.
This was one of my first coasters back in the Sid and Marty Krofft days. One of the last times I rode it was about 30 years ago. It slammed me down into the valley after an airtime hill and I had a hard time breathing for a day or so after. I think it may have compressed my diaphragm. It is way too harsh for me and this video makes me feel it! Lol.
I rode it when it was new. I remember the girl handing out free buttons that said "I'm no chicken, I rode the screaming eagle." when you were leaving the ride. One of the few left where the front seat is as good as the back. The new ones don't have the back car thrill of feeling it jump like the old wooden ones had. I am surprised they haven't modified it or replaced it... Sure glad they haven't.
my favorite ride in the whole park
In the early 80’s this was the fastest (Guinness book) rollercoaster in the world.
I can feel that sound climbing up to the top
God I miss that thing! Siting in the back was THE BEST!
HardlineSoul it’s still there
@@mrlukeh3155 ...Yes I know...I no longer live in St.louis and it's been almost 10 years since I've ridden it...I usually dont get back to town until xmas...can't really ride then...lol...but glad they aren't taking it down like some of the 90s - early 2000s coasters...
I never cared for this ride. It beats the living hell out of you. Only thing good about it is that the lines to get on it were always a relatively small and you didn't have to wait that long to ride it.
Best Coaster in USA!
I remember how excited I was when I was finally tall enough to go on it. That was 41 years ago.😂😱🤣
You can scream, you can shout, but there's no backing out. Enjoy your ride on the Screaming Eagle.
Nice coaster, thanks for uploading CoasterForce, keep up the coaster riding!!! :D
Went on this yesterday. Finally found a coaster I like!
This is my favorite ride there, and Mr. Freeze is right next to it
When first built it was in the Guinness Book Of World Records as being the tallest, longest and fastest roller coaster in the world!
The last time I rode on this my seat belt had opened I got so scared in those 3 seconds of my life😭😂
This was my first "major" roller coaster, and god was it great
I used to go to 6 flags All the Time Growing up...My cousin said let's get on the Eagle that Roller Coaster Scared the 💩 out of Me...The Metal sound like it about Go Out moving Slowly then it Drop....That was the last Roller Coaster I rode as a Teen...I'm In my 30's and still will Not ride a Roller Coaster because of the Eagle Scared Me 😂
I like this ride. I grew up in the shadows of Cedar Point. This ride is like Blue Streak with the size and speed of Gemini.
My favorite roller coaster ever.
One of the all time best
Now that's a train ride
This is a good ride. For the Cedar Point crowd, it is the size and speed of the Gemini, but rides like the Blue Streak, as it is woody.
I miss when the Screamin' Eagle and Ninja were the only two coasters at the park (other than the Mine Train). Not that I don't like having the selection, but part of what set Six Flags St. Louis apart from other theme parks was how the attractions were planned and integrated into the beautiful scenery. Now it seems so cluttered.
I’ve ridden this thing more than I can count. Love!!!!
Way different from six flags great America
This is just like "(insert vaguely-similar wooden coaster here)"! They stole our ride!
My grandad helped build this classic😎
This was my first roller-coaster first seat too
There are three spots where the wheels do not touch the rail plate...so yes, the cart is flying off the ride.
Respect to the classic
My favorite coaster there! And tell me why out of all the coasters in the park, new and old, it has the most comfortable seats!? The cushions and even though you have a ride partner the both of you are separated and have your own cushions may have to do with it. Plus the airtime!
They made everything nicer in the 70s ;)
@spongebob23oncrack yeah it's a wooden coaster that has been at the park since 1976. it's still a fun ride
My personal favorite ride in the park
This is the best wooden coaster in the park. It's smoother than the Boss, and it's longer than the American Thunder.
This is the only ride at this Six Flags I havent been on yet. o _ e
Rode this one in the 70s!! Geuss I'm old now?
Yes you are!!🤣
My back hurts just by watching this video
Thats pretty smooth recording for a rough ride!
0:57 R.I.P. Superman 2006-2020
I'm going to st. louis six flags tomorrow I'm so exited!
@StillInvalid Yewp, there are bald eagles in Saint Louis. Around Alton, IL and north county along the Missouri River are the best spots to spy one.
I love this ride, but I was scared of it for half of my life lol. But Im riding it when i go to six flags in may.
i love this ride i went to six flags today
this is my favorite coaster i feel sick i need to go to it
Best experience ever
Looks fun..nice layout
@tutuwaffle It's self-explanatory. It's a wooden coaster.
