Which Side of American Eagle Do You Prefer?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Hey everyone,
This just sort of came to mind and I didn't see a discussion thread anywhere pertaining to this subject, so here goes.. Which side of American Eagle do you like better? Red or Blue?
For me personally, I enjoy the Red side more because I feel like it has more air time and gives an overall better ride. What do you guys think?


P.S. I decided not to do a poll just to make things a little more interesting and to hear better feedback.
Favorite Coasters I've Ridden:
Steel: 1. Maverick 2. Steel Vengeance 3. X2 4. Storm Chaser 5. Twisted Colossus
Wood: 1. The Voyage 2. Renegade 3. Mystic Timbers 4. The Legend 5. The Beast
Great America: 1. Maxx Force 2. Goliath 3. Raging Bull 4. Batman: The Ride 5. X-Flight

Coaster Count: 118
Go Hawks!

Red easily. It has the extra airtime hill and always wins the race if both trains dispatch at the same time. I hate the section where the blue track goes under red and that airtime is lost. Been riding it since it opened in 1981, and red has always been king.

There should a be rule if there is a similar thread that is more than 10 years old and hasn't been posted on since then, you should be allowed to start a new thread. haha

Both are great, but Blue gets my vote.

Despite it having one less airtime hill, I think it provides stronger airtime. However, red does win most of the time. I have seen blue win on numerous occasions, however.

In terms or actual ride experience, I say Red, but Blue is usually shorter and can have rerides.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Red is what I prefer. The ejector air coming out of the helix in the back row is pure bliss. :D

Just like Whizzer Whiz Kid, Red side is my favorite. That airtime coming out of the helix is what makes the red better for me.
