This wooden coaster is a out and back racer. It was designed by Intamin/Jim Figley, Leonard Wright, and Curtis Summers. It was built in 1981. It is 127 feet tall and it has a 147 foot drop it also is 4,650 feet long. As with any mega-woodies, this jumbo racer has had many opinions going up and down like a true roller coaster. During its existence, much of the track has been replaced with steel beams on its outward run. The American Eagle is an awesome coaster thats really close to the highway and is a great sight to see. Its a must ride for any enthusiast. It is fun, rerideable, has a large capacity, and a long ride duration. It is one of my favorite wooden coasters.
