American Eagle or Viper

[m11stephen]

I like viper better since it seems a lot smoother than american eagle, plus there arent any brakes till the station brake run.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Viper definitely. It has all the awesome airtime you can get.

[Coaster Alex0805]

Viper for sure...eagle red isn't bad but its not better then Viper, and eagle blue isn't very good.

[EagleFan344]

Why do you guys like red better? You dont get any negative Gs.

[RagingBullLover1543]

^It's way more fun to see where you're going.

It also makes you more nervous because you can actually see how tall the drop is when you first approach the lift hill.

[clrntsqueak]

Agreed. Going backwards I feel absolutely nothing. Going forward... that's where all the air is. I guess I have to get freaked out to actually feel something.

[EagleFan344]

I get zero air on red and ejector air on blue.

[punkbunny24242]

^ Me too Isn't it funny how so many people can feel such a big difference on the same ride. I like that... it goes to show that we are all different!!

Viper is the much better coasters.
As for AE, i would tear it down and build one another wooden coaster that would be much better.

[Timmy179]

Bob o tell me, what wood coaster that is any different from AE would fit in its place?

[quote="punkbunny24242"][quote="Rusty888"]i'm with mschulz5 on this one. thats one of the reasons i like backwards, you can see the other train better and yell at em[/quote]

^ Yeah the racing has really heated up hasn't it? [/quote]

it has, it always seeems to be close! 8 AEB in a row

[Bob O]

Im sure that Intamin/Gravity Group/GCI could use the space that it is occupied by AE and the tent area and build a more thrilling wooden caoster that would offer more air time/more speed for a much more entertaining ride than what AE is giving us. It has been a good ride but its time has come and gone and needs to be replaced as SFGAM doesnt have alot of unoccupied land to build on.

How about El Toro?..............I voted Viper by the way! LOL

[FParker185]

[onyxhotel08]

lol was this that necessary

[Viper 88]

I've only ever been on Viper so I guess that gets my vote. I screamed the whole way up and the whole way down..............IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! As someone who is thinking about going on AE whats that drop like do you really feel it or does it just fly by?

[david]

Umm... Excuse me here, but HOW THE HELL HAVE YOU NEVER GONE ON AMERICAN EAGLE?!?!??!?!?!?!!?

THAT'S A SIN!

[Cole]

Am. Eagle Red Backseat is the best ride in the park. Raging Bull is second and Viper a close third.

[Jcoaster95]

Let's put it this way:

American Eagle > anything else at Great America

American Eagle > Voyage

Hades > Voyage

American Eagle with brake 5 wide open > Hades

[Galvan]

I think Jcoaster bumped his head really hard this morning.

[monsterfan99]

I'd pick Viper and it's not even a close competition. Then again, I also have no childhood history with the park either.

[Coastermonkey61]

Viper is my favorite ride in the park. Amazing how intense that ride can be in such a small space.

And wow, I just noticed this thread is five years old. Why are old threads getting reborn all of a sudden?
