Wow. American Eagle’s colors used to be so beautiful

Bryan Terry hopefully when they are done painting it in a few years it will be close to looking this glorious again.

I would love to see more content like this if you have it especially relating to the American Eagle

[@KemoKidd]

Crazy how smooth of a ride it looked back then.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

This version is much different compared to the one that we have today!

[@mmocken]

I rode this in 1981 with buzz bars and no Monstre boards. Coaster was beautiful back then. The helix has always been rough and unfortunately GP think coaster is too old because of this. But the helix is what makes this coaster unique.
