American Eagle Blue at Six Flags Great America to run backwards again.

I'm thinking it will run backwards for the rest of the season unless they have plans to just run the red side during Fright Fest.

I agree it rides well for a 30+ year old coaster, but I think St. Louis has the better of the Eagles. If Georgia Cyclone is anything like it was as recently as Goliath's opening year, that would get my vote for best wood in the chain. Crazy ride.

Edit: Unsure how I could have forgotten El Toro.

St. Louis has the best of the wood all around. Evel Knievel's awesome. I haven't been on Terminator (or whatever it's called now), but I hear it could be the best wood in the chain.

My guess is that they would run *both* sides backwards for Fright Fest. Didnt they used to do that in the past (with the big inflateable spider on the side)?
