American Eagle Red or Blue

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Which side do you like better? Red side (forward) or Blue side (Backward)

I personally like the blue side better than the red side.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

I like blue better than red. It's so much more fun going backwards.

Going backwards is boring for me. I get more of a thrill when I can see what's coming up. I'd still take red anyways.

:o Blue boring?? The airtime going backwards is my favorite. Also the helix is insane, and there is nothing better then dropping backwards out of it. Hopefully someone else shares these same views.

Blue has much more airtime and is much more fun in my opinion. There's nothing like that ejector airtime going backwards.

Blue Pros-
Airtime
Helix
Drop After Helix

Blue Cons-
Rougher than red
Backward isn't as intense
Gets Braked on the helix terribly

Red Pros
Not as rough as Blue
More Airtime than Blue
Somewhat more intense

Red Cons
Braking on the helix; but not as much as blue


Winner- Red but Blue is close.

I like Red a lot more. I don't really enjoy the backwards feeling on any ride except for Dejavu, because of all of the positive g's in the loop.

Same with me. You're stomach kinda tingles a bit when you can see whats coming.

Maybe I was in the wrong seat, but backwards didn't do a thing for me....I could've taken a nap.
