Eagle has never derailed, but if you dont notice how much you shake when your near the front of the train, and the fact that the wheels sqeek and screech going around the big circle
The splash? What splash? When I went on that ride, I barely got wet. If your going to change the name of any ride to Niagra Falls it should be Splash Water Falls because that has a huge splash. Raging Bull: Keep the name. Also, yes Bull is starting to get rough. 
Batman The Ride: I think we should call it The flying yellow bat that sticks out like a sore thumb. I liked the black paint, sure it may look dull but Batman has a black suit. Black goes with Batman perfectly. S:UF: Hmm...the name needs changing but I can't think of what to change it to. The main reason I would change the name is because Ultimate Flight seems dry. That part seems like it took no creative thought or effort to think up. Viper: This coaster is a classic! YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE NAME OF CLASSIC COASTERS! Ragin Cajun: This name actully works for what SFGAm is going for. I say keep it. Deja Vu: Deja Vu fits this coaster perfectly. Vertical Velocity: Keep. Iron Wolf: I think the name needs changing. Everytime I go to the park and I ride this coaster, I don't get an Iron Wolf feel. I mean, the Wolf part works since it is among trees and such but the Iron part doesn't. Demon: For where it is located in the park, I'd say go back to Turn of the Century. If they moved the entrance to somewhere in Southwest Territory then it would work. Plus I really like the classic feel of Turn of the Century. Whizzer: As I said for Viper, this coaster is a classic. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE NAME OF CLASSICS! Ice Mountain Splash: I don't have a clue why SFGAm named this ride that because that name sucks. I'd go back to Yankee Clipper. This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
I've always associated "Iron" with the fact that we're on an intense, steel coaster. And I thought what you thought about "Wolf".
Now you're just trying too bug me.
Sponsorship, much like the way baseball parks sell out their name (point in case- U.S. Cellular Field=WTF?). You also see stuff like Pepsi Python, Pepsi Max Big One (  ) amung others. Pearsonally, I think that Icemountain Splash isn't that bad of a sponsored name compaired to some of the other ones out there.
SUF should not be Superman Ultimate Flight, it should be Superman Ultimate Failure.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
True, but it still sucks. This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
I think you are thinking of it being a failure because it breaks down. Rides breakdown. Its a fact. SUF is not closed for days and days though. In place of Shockwave, this ride is a gem. There hardly any times I can get a walk-on with this ride. However, for the enthusiast (not me though), this ride has lost its touch. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
I was thinking of as a failure because the ride is not good at all and is already becoming bad: rough, lots and lots and lots of break downs, and is boring.

OK I'm confused, isn't Ice Mountain Splash the one with the big boat and once you go down you get soaked? Or is that the 2 passenger log ride? If so I appologize. From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
Ice Mountain Splash - Flume ride (small boats,4 passenger)
Loggers Run - Flume Ride ( similar to IMS but Log boats) Splash Water Falls - Shoot the Chute (large boats with big splash)
They should re-name Ice Mountain Splash Yankee Clipper and redo all the theming. They should then rename splashwater falls Ice Mountain Splash, since theres no theming to Splashwater Falls anyways. No other coasters names should change.
Instead of renaming rides, I think that they should rename the entire property now that they have a waterpark. Six Flags Magic Mountain is called Six Flags California when you drive in off of the highway, and I think the sign on Grand Avenue and on I-94 should be changed to Six Flags Illinois, and they should just have the Great America and Hurricane Harbor logos underneath. Welcome to The O.C. biatch
Ugh. What a horrible idea. Talk about losing charm and identity. Its like "Six Flags Wal-Mart"  Stale, boring, silly.
And the combined properties aren't referred to as "Six Flags California" any longer. That highway sign just hasn't been changed. Six Flags dabbled in that thinking for a few years with a name like that at "Six Flags Ohio" and it didn't catch on. I'd bet now you can't find any official from the park that says "Six Flags California" YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!
I don't understand the Douglas name for AE.
1. Voyage
2. X 3. Millenium Force 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Raging Bull '05 Bull: 113 '06 Bull: lost count but not a lot
Really. V2 is a awesome ride! I would call raging bull The Mexican, I would call V2 the fun thing that hangs over the water, and change rajun cajun to gator tail at razzoos! 2006 Dodge HennessY Venom 100 Coupe Viper
1100 RAW HORSEPOWER!
I really Like the name Six Flags Illinois. LOL Six Flags Wal Mart LOL! From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
I've came up with some new names for some of the rides currently at GAm:
Columbian Carousel = The Gurnee Galloper Viper = Venom Deja Vu = The Gauntlet Giant Drop = The Guillotine B:TR = Robin's Renegade American Eagle = Clash of the Titans
I like DJV's change to the Gauntlet. I'd call it Run The Gauntlet.
Coaster Count: 128
#1 Coaster: El Toro
I would change Condor to: Come back birdy!
And Iron Wolf: Iron junk Raging Bull: Lets Ride Again Viper: Cobra American Eagle: Great America Whizzer: Take me down!!! Déjà Vu: It was worth lossing Sky Whirl V2: Gotham Towers Ragin' Cajun: Gotham Subway Batman: Why did we get an award? Demon: Devil Spacley's Sprocket Rocket: Im not a coaster!!!! Superman:Shock PAST RIDES Shockwave: Look what youve done!!! Z Force: Better then Iron Junk! Tidal Wave: The ride on Roller Coaster Tycoon!!!
More Creative Names:
S:UF = Airborne V2 = Zoomer Raging Bull = The Matador
thats great lol, never been on it and i dont want to go on it...2 1/2 hour wait for crap is what i think it would be... i would keep all the names except i would make V2 "The Hustler" RIDE TRACKER 2006-- Visits:2
AER:2 AEB:2 BTR:5 Deja Vu:1 Demon:5 Iron Wolf:3 Raging Bull:3 S:UF:3 V2:4 Viper:2 Total Coaster Rides: 30
i think ice mountain splash should be named the panguins revenge v2 should be named robins free fall and wirligig should be named batmans spin out
I think Giant Drop should be named Stomach Drop.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
All a matador does is stand there for the bull to run pass and turn and repeat. I'd rather be riding the Voyage
