They are brackets for the brakes that used to be there when the Eagle opened.

Ok... wow... Really pointless posting here....
Yes, those brackets were for brakes to even the racing of the trains, to help make it a fair race.. i.e. one is not going down the hill before the other.
Too bad now its not functioning anymore.

I've noticed they tried to race them lately. I think they should put the brakes back.

For most racing coasters they have those functional. They are also on most dueling coasters, for obvious reasons.

Magically, I will try to lock this topic. C'mon. It's harder than you think.

You know, now that sixflagsguy5 knows what those are we really don't need to continue this topic.

We're not the ones to decide if a topic is to close. Topics don't close after you get an answer. They just don't accumulate replies over time.
