American Eagle

The high-flying thrills of American Eagle make this wooden racing coaster a true Six Flags classic. For over 25 years, this double-tracked coaster has given passengers a vast, eagle's-eye view of the park before careening down a 147-foot drop. Step aboard the Eagle Red or Eagle Blue to see who makes it to the bottom first.
