So sad this ride was taken down, because this looks to be hands down the best Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster ever made! Like, that swinging......HOLY CRAP MAN! That swinging is just intense as can be! That just looks insane. I have heard that this ride has ranked very very highly on a lot of lists from enthusiasts, including the Mitch Hawker Steel Coaster polls, I think in the top 10 at least. But yeah, Arrow Dynamics made a fantastic suspended coaster, but sad to see it go :(
The reason Eagle's Fortress closed is because its hillside location made it very difficult and time consuming for maintenance crews to work on the track. The intensity of the ride also put significantly more stress on the track and supports, which greatly affected the ride's service life. Additionally, when Arrow Dynamics went out of business in 2002, parts for the suspended coasters became much more expensive and difficult to find. The same thing happened to Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which closed the same year Eagle's Fortress closed.
@@andrewc1199 Yeah I can see how much stress the trains would have put on the structure also the train's shock absorbers, much more than the other Arrow Dynamics suspended coasters. Even if this ride didn't go, we know that S&S would have like to have kept this ride operational, since they own all the rest of Arrow's assets now. So it's thanks to them that we can still ride the remaining Arrow suspended coasters :)
@@wickedphant0m ummm, freaking *BANNISTER* has it ranked the greatest roller coaster ever built, followed by Stingray & Jungle Storm. It’s generally regarded as the holy grail of steel roller coasters
It was a Arrow Suspended coaster. Once Arrow Dynamics went out of businesses in the early 2000s, spare parts were much harder to come by. This made Eagle Fortress too expensive and difficult to maintain. As such it closed in 2009.
This ride looks like the greatest arrow coaster to ever exist. I’ve ridden the bat at kings island but this looks like that plus all other suspended coasters on steroids.
This is in Korea (i think Yongsan someplace) but they do have suspended coasters all over the damn place. You should visit Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. They have every version of roller coaster ( i think they have 17 now).
@treasurehunter911 - Having ridden both many times (actually within 3 weeks of each other in 2007), Eagle's Fortress is (was) a far more intense coaster than Raptor. And yes, Raptor is a great coaster. But, for pretty much every person who has ridden both, there is NO question that Eagle's Fortress is a FAR SUPERIOR coaster.
@treasurehunter911 - I think for a suspended coaster, and at the time this was built, this looks to be amazing. Of course Raptor is better in many aspects, and is one of my favorite rides, but it came much after and was built by a completely different company, which doesn't reside in America my friend. Bolliger and Mabillard are housed in Switzerland I believe. Arrow Dynamics was in Utah. Raptor is amazing, and I am sure this one is too!
TPR, do you have a forum type thing on your website, because I much prefer you to coasterforce, although I love the forums and things on their website, and it's really useful to find people's opinions on coasters...
It's probably cuz Everland runs a test ride every few months or something. Some ppl who go to everland to ride the t-express go back sad cuz the ride is shut down due to test rides! And it stops if there's even a bit of wind. I think Everland is being more careful about stuff like that cuz there was another accident there which killed one person. It crushed the person. right in front of her family's eyes. She was trying to get out of the ride, but the employee didn't see so he runed the ride.
Reminds me of the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens with those swing out cars. Someone said Big Bad Wolf is gone now, is this true? ...i hope not! I rode it in ' 99 & loved it.
i wish i could have ridden this. i'm grateful to have vortex at canada's wonderland which is arguably the greatest suspended left (and is admittedly quite insane at night time), but this looks CRAZY!

R.I.P. Eagle's Fortress 1992-2009
Lookton Miller but he filmed this in 2011
I Must Trace The Reaper uploading and filming are two very different things
I Must Trace The Reaper, No, the video was uploaded in 2011, but it was filmed in 2009... it says it on the Theme Park Review website.
Quinton Parchment because Everland had a plan of removing it
Never realized this and Big Bad Wolf closed the same year
I really hope suspended coasters make a comeback some day
vekoma can revive it
Good idea!
B&M should do it. The potential of these is just insane.
이건 진짜 지형 활용해서 만든 수작인데 없어져서 너무 아쉽다
It's really a shame that we lost this one to the sands of time. Looks like it was actually one of the all time greatest for Arrow.
For arrow…? It’s widely regarded as the greatest steel coaster ever made

Was my first roller coaster, back in 2002. Haven't been on any since, Once youv'e had the best, forget about the rest.
this has got to be the most violent swinging coaster ive ever seen!
The original Bat looks crazier, but this is better.
"Swinging Coaster"
Yeah, that looks like a 90 degree swing.
Went to Everland last weekend. Eagle's Fortress has been removed and they are now constructing a new hotel in it's former place.
#S&SNeedsToBringBackThisCoasterType
RIP arrow Suspended Coasters They were Great But steel coasters eventually fall in disrepair
Kevin Thompson rip arrow, death, bankruptcy, revived s and s but they didn't actually revive it or do crap.

with an axis coaster
Or Vekoma
The forgotten legendary Suspended coaster has been torn down.
RIP Eagle Fortress.
I wonder why they would demolish this and give Rolling X Train an extensive restoration...
FanOfVacuums2 Ikr it's sad that another arrow has gone
There was an accident.
there was an accident which resulted in someone dying

This is basically ArrowxIntamin
They should rebuild this

Best arrow suspended out there! At one point it swings at least 100 degrees reminds me of rct3 I made it swing 360 degrees over the track before!
+Simonthan wtf

94년도에 생전 처음 탔던 롤러코스터 독수리요새.
그땐 잘 몰랐지만 서스펜디드방식은 국내최초였다. 현재 국내에 서스펜디드방식이 있는지는 모르겠지만.
국내최초 우든코스터인 티익스프레스도 굉장하다.
***** 독수리요새는 1992년에 탄생했는데요?

this was one of the best roller coaster ever... R.I.P
This sums up EVERY swinging coaster I've built in roller coaster tycoon
Suspended Swinging Coaster 1 looks to intense for me.
Just looking at Suspended Coaster 1 makes me feel sick.
I'm not going on Suspended Swinging Coaster 1 while it's raining!
This looks like an absolutely amazing ride. I really wish they would build these again!
우리자랑스러운 에버랜드.....근데 이분들 지금 오시면 실망하실듯,,,,이제 에버랜드는 한물갔고 경주월드로 가세요.....
this & T-express made An amazing 1 2 Punch and One Of the best 1 2 punches in The World.
I am still so shocked that Arrow made this intense of a suspended coaster. I mean look at that track banking :)
Holy crap that looks kinda awesome xD
Looks similar to Magic Mountain's Ninja but on steroids. My goodness that looked fast. :)
Holy freaking crapping hell...
+Tejas Murthy agreed
What does that even mean, anyway previously the 11th best coaster in the world
에버랜드다 ㄷㄷ 이분들 한국 까지 오셨네 ㄷㄷ
그외에도 후렌치 레볼루션.아트란티스.파라오의 분노.환타지드림 등 다양하게 있어요.
경주월드, 이월드도 갔더군요
I've watched this POV so many times.
That is a properly epic coaster, shame to hear that it is no more
2:13-2:30(ish idk) When your parent(s) call you to their room and you start contemplating your life choices.
1:53 "How much do you want to swing?" "Yes."
This ride looks like the greatest arrow coaster to ever exist. I’ve ridden the bat at kings island but this looks like that plus all other suspended coasters on steroids.
This seriously looks like one of the best coasters ever! :o
I really wish I got the chance to ride this. Now only the video remains.
This is one fun looking coaster. I like how it skims the ground most of the time. Beats Magic Mountain's Ninja hands down.
It is gone; however, there is a new roller coaster in its place. There is still the drop that goes over the water in remembrance. ;)
best suspended coaster ever.. i really miss it
Yongsan Everland. This ride is currently shut down due to a total of two deaths.
I would marathon this from sun up to sun down .
This is in Korea (i think Yongsan someplace) but they do have suspended coasters all over the damn place. You should visit Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. They have every version of roller coaster ( i think they have 17 now).
I don't get how they still haven't gotten anything to replace this coaster
I think this was A LOT better t-express. I’ve never ridden either one tho
@themeparkreviewTPR Coasterforce doesn't break park rules, they always ask for permission before-hand
1:32, 1:54, and 1:57 were the inspiration for the intamin whippy turns
Wow a suspended coaster that has some legit serious swinging! Awesome!
If I could go back and ride any one ride from the past, this would be the one.
awesome video Rob
We still miss Eagle Fortress ;(
지금은 없어진 우리의 추억.
@ArrowWolf1984 Another sad thing that adds to this comment and video is how this coaster might be taken down as well.
Suspended coasters are the best. I've said over and over again, The Big Bad Wolf was my favorite ride ever.
I wonder if Koaster Kids will have to say for this coaster?
Is T-Express at the same park?
Yes
Someone else told me the reason why they removed Big Bad Wolf, 'cuz it was very expensive to keep up & rode rough.

Jonnybowden0 TPR does have fourms, they're usually found in discussion threads.
This is the coolest coaster ever ..... Oh man it's like they forgot to add brakes ....lol.... Looks like fun : )
wow, of all coaster designs overseas, this coaster looks really good!
Yes, but none come close to Eagle's Fortress (Flight Deck @ KI being the closest to it in America)
heyyyy my name is john! Robb said hi to meeeee 🤣
Just for your information.. There has never ever been any incidents on this coaster..
1:06 to skip the lift chain.....keep it at top of comment list so other pple can watch too!
Have they replaced this ride yet since it closed?
Why was this torn down? Mantinence? Finance issues?
It's probably cuz Everland runs a test ride every few months or something. Some ppl who go to everland to ride the t-express go back sad cuz the ride is shut down due to test rides!

I rode both Big Bad Wolf and the replacement (called Verboten) and Big Bad Wolf was much better...
Sean Patterson, You're right, Verboten is much more of a family coaster than a thrill ride like Big Bad Wolf.
If they kept this everland would have the best Top 2 of all time, t express and, you know, one of the greatest coasters ever built
What is that swing looking ride I see at the beginning?
I want any company to bring these back s&s or vekoma either will do I want to see them again
진짜 에버랜드 추억의놀이기구다
great memory for us all to see
Best Suspended coaster ever! Even better than my beloved Vortex!
Why was it torn down? =( I love that ride.
No wonder those suspended swinging coasters have otsr's! That looks freakin awesome, wish we had one of them near here!!!
I didn't get a chance to ride the big bad wolf coasterrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but I've seen the replacement and it looks pretty coool :)
sad that it doesn't operate anymore... I'm sure that 2011 was the last year
+권사라 I thought 2009 but maybe it was 2011. Sad though.
Too much maintenance needed, not enough parts(There are no more parts for Arrow suspendeds)
I have a special place in my heart for suspended swinging coasters lol coz I used to go on Vampire at Chessington (UK) every halloween
The last turns of this thing looks intense.
Is normally not allowed to take cameras onto roller coasters. You need the parks permission to do that.
that was a Coaster like the Wuppertaler Suspended Railway
한국사람이신가요?? 아니신가?? 뭐라 말씀하시는지 잘;;; Are you korean??? and it's Everland not Ever land. I can't understand a thing ur saying. sorry :)
will This Ever reopen? I hope It Does.
It was demolished and scrapped.
@killerdeej And we don't break any park rules to get our video! ;)
This ride looks sketchy as hell though
I heard the Eagle Fortress was standing but not operating.
@killerdeej And they don't have ad's on every single video like coasterforce seems to do.
Reminds me of the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens with those swing out cars. Someone said Big Bad Wolf is gone now, is this true? ...i hope not! I rode it in ' 99 & loved it.
i wish i could have ridden this. i'm grateful to have vortex at canada's wonderland which is arguably the greatest suspended left (and is admittedly quite insane at night time), but this looks CRAZY!
Since it was opened in 1992 and closed in 2010 which only is 18 years... Sounds unlikely...
It's such a shame this thing closed
Not necessarily, I saw the track still there, with my own two freaking eyes!!! It just might open again! I live with that hope:)
Thumbs up for watching the lift hill!
Could you upload the Hayabusa pov please.
I tried to view the robb alvey channel and I can't because it got suspended. Why?
how fast does it go?
0:00 is that a double pirate ship???
This reminds me a lot of the design The Bat had at Kings Island. Seems like Arrow took a lot from that coaster for this one.
Has the ride been removed, or is it still SBNO?
TombraiderTy demolished
