Lift Hill Work Being Done on American Eagle

by **[jonrev]** on March 3rd, 2006, 4:22 pm

Drkstarbrd (did I spell that right?) told me this in the chatroom the other day so I went to have a look.

My guess is it's retracking since there's piles of wood on the lift.

Wow, great pics. Thanks for the update.

by **Rusty888** on March 3rd, 2006, 5:02 pm

Good job. Really cool pics.

Wow, that's always great to see them taking care of older rides. Eagle is one of my favorites in the park and it's nice to know its not going anywhere anytime soon.

When were those pix taken?

by **[jonrev]** on March 3rd, 2006, 5:23 pm

Today at about noon.

Its nice to see some work being done on Eagle oce again

The Eagle really deserves this kind of attention since this will be its 25th year of operation.

I believe they retracked the blue lift and first drop last year. Logic would dictate that it's red's turn this off season.

I'm guessing they only didn't one side before. Now they are doing the other.

Thanks for the pics Jon Revelle, i was wondering when we would start seeing them focus on Eagle.

Think we'll see a 25th anniversary t shirt? I would totally get one.

^My best guess is...no.

I'm very pleased to see Red side getting it's turn.
You could obviously see the difference from the station and basically everywhere else. It looked hideous.

Hopefully the whole ride will be looking sexy soon.

Cannot wait to Ride Red front row. arms up screaming my lungs out

I just can't wait for the whole park to open,I miss whizzer so much. :cry:

I know it's just a roller coaster,but I gave it personafication and I feel like it's somebody that I really care about.

and a part of the barrel near the Crows Nest

by **[jonrev]** on March 4th, 2006, 5:42 pm

^The Crows Nest?

Is that the little booth by the MCBR where the HH cam was?

by **twixmix0303** on March 5th, 2006, 1:18 am

I think that's the thing at the start of the 540 degree helix. I've never heard that term used before, though.

Im sorry that this must be a stupid questian, but what is sticking out of the lift? Im sorry sorry that might be reallt stupid to ask, but I can t see that very well.

by **[jonrev]** on March 5th, 2006, 12:46 pm

Um... wood?

by **Director_Guy** on March 5th, 2006, 2:59 pm

....a crane...

by **Drkstarboard** on March 5th, 2006, 7:31 pm

trees

by **ymmit** on March 5th, 2006, 9:21 pm

The white thing looks like a crane to me.......to get wood up there maybe?

by **rb1** on March 5th, 2006, 10:01 pm

Its a crane to get wood up there and the new tracks maybe thats why the ride had a lot of down time last year because it needed to be retract and fixed I hope they repaint eagle too that would make it like new for their 30th.

by **shockwave guy mark** on March 5th, 2006, 10:24 pm

ok, I told you dumb question. I thought it was wood, I just cant reallt tell from far away. and ya I knew that was a crane, Im not stupid. Its tall, and hard to miss. and ya I knew there were trees, I'm not gay.
