It wasn't really a triple loop it had a banked turn to the left between two of the loops... :wink:

What i think sf should have done is replaced the bumpy sections on sw. Then they should have buil superman in either iron wolfs spot or ae. I love ae but I think its time for it to go.

American Eagle is not going anywhere, it is a classic wooden coaster, and wooden coasters last a long time, in most cases

It was a 90 degree turn to the left. How is that a slight bank?

I was just screwing with Kamooza, I 've known him since we worked at SFGAm in '97. I know it was a pretty big turn, I worked that ride, I think I know things about that ride that most don't. But it was still considered a triple loop in the training manual.

Shockwave was my second coaster...after riding demon (which before hand I was scared helpless :lol: ) we rode shockwave and it was amazinly terrible, it was too headbanging, and rough...yet I couldnt get enough of it and forced people on it 4 times. All the way till 2002 I rode each visit but complained afterwards..........

When SUF came around I thought the feeling of flight was incredible and still do, so I choose to stick with SUF :D
