Nope, it's way too big. The only coaster of vertical proportions that would fit would be an intamin coaserball. Which I should go ahead and say: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO".

If We Are To Get A RMC Treatment For American Eagle I Hope We Can Get A Colored Track To Match Each Side (Blue Track For Blue Side And Red Track For Red Side). If We Can Just Get That And Remove The Trims We Can Restore A Coaster That Made People Feel Like They Were Soaring

That, to me would seem to rule out the kiddie rides going in Sky Trail's spot, even though I would think that would be cheaper, since at least 2 of the 3 existing pads will need to be repaved after 3 Point Challenge is moved.
Well, hopefully they're not ONLY going after cheap. I mean, no matter what they it's not going to be an especially expensive year, so let's hope they don't get overly cheap. I kinda hope they remove all the games that are in Hometown Square, I don't believe any of them are original and it would help with their promised "beautiful landscaping, and additional areas to rest and relax". Doesn't this look so much nicer than what we have there now?
Another thought: If they do move games, something could maybe go in that empty spot in SWT between the HH entrance and the Trailblazer spot.
I went to the park every tuesday this summer and went on Eagle once. Sat in the front seat and got thrown around so badly in the helix on red side (blue side was only running one train that day so went red for shorter line) But anyways it beat the hell out of us so badly that I got a minor concussion.

Go ride mean streak. You just might break your neck. I think you're over exaggerating
if mean streak is that bad I have no interest in riding it. But yes i was shaking out the cobwebs for a couple hours. Honestly I would have ridden it again at some point this season but people I go with have all given up on riding it til Helix is retracked. Unless its backwards that is. Then we still go

My memories of the park don't go back too far, I remember there being a "WA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WAAAAACK-A-MOLE" being where that tree is. It would be nice if the roundabout was brought back to breakup the jungle that is blacktop.
I know its not in hometown, but I would love to see the plant tunnel that existed just after the bridge and torn out when Sky Whirl went away be brought back, even if it was just a smaller version that covered the bridge from hometown to county fair.

There was a fountain there at one point too (maybe, but I'm not sure, the same fountain that's now by the entrance to HH)

Does eating breakfast, starting your car or walking up the stairs also give you a minor concussion?

Really the only way you could get thrown around like that is if you push yourself really hard into the seat. If you relax and kind of use your hips as a shock absorber (think riding a horse) its not really bumpy at all.
Sidenote: I would hate a complete retrack of the ride like lots of other people. I dont think AE with a smooth track like Goliaths would be really fun at all. Part of the fun is feeling like you are going to fly off the track. I personally love after the second airtime hill where the train slams back onto the track!

no need to be mean geez?
as for other post after I also really enjoy those airtime hills. i don't want the ride retracked entirely just clean up that helix and paint the damn thing.
As cool as a dueling eagle would be at six flags there's no way we would get that not only cause we have goliath but let's not forget that they're what? 200 feet away from eachother? Sure parts could and really need to be retracked but giving it the iron horse would make no sense. Not to mention it would weaken our lineup because it would leave viper as the only big legit wooden coaster (like no hybrid stuff)
I'm also confused about the layout of twisted colossus because in the pov the blue track turns into the green track and the it goes up the lift hill again while the green track goes back to the station and changes to blue track somewhere on the way so is twisted colossus now 2 rides in one or was that just an error by six flags and it has both trains go back to the station

I have ridden Mean Streak. And I won't ride it again until it's overhauled. Eagle is only slightly more tolerable. I have also ridden El Toro. And that is what Eagle can become with a redo. El Toro has consistent 2 hour lines. Mean Streak is usually a walk on. Eagle has a 10 minute line most of the time. Just because you don't think it needs an RMC treatment, doesn't mean that it is not in the best interest of the park to do so. An Eagle RMC update could keep lines like this year going for years to come.

It's just one track now. It starts as blue track and changes to green track in the middle. You go up the lift hill twice.
It's still a dueling coaster. The track will start either green or blue and then change. At least that's what is in the six flags video. It appears that the dueling part will come with one train midcycle and the other starting out. It's technically one track. The way I understand it, lets say there are 3 trains: A,B,&C. If you start out in train B, you will duel train A for the first half of the ride. Train A will then enter the station and train C will leave the station. Then you will duel train C for the second half of the ride. Confusing yes, and I have my doubts that MM can handle this. I heard it described as a mobius loop.
