This just makes me want Sky Whirl back, so thanks for that.
And to whoever said American Eagle is going to die soon, I'd lay pretty good odds on the park doing everything they could to keep that one around. If you thought the uproar was big at the possibility of the Whizzer leaving, you could double or even triple that for American Eagle. Iron Wolf should be on the chopping block, arguably the least popular coaster, the most uncomfortable to ride, and one that's novelty has worn off and then some.

But really, after the helix there are completely two different rides. And they count as 2 credits if you do a coaster count.
SOrry different sides don't mean I count the same coaster as 2. I wish I would have caught AE when it was going backwards for the last time 3 years ago...sad.
But I always count different sides. Except for single track racers (Grand Nash, Racer, ect). For those you need to ride both sides for 1 track credit. Like I only got 1/2 credit on Nash. because I only rode one side.
But for Eagle it separate. Both have a station, lift hill, and different layouts. It would be like riding Demon at CGA and SFGAm. There the same but different.
Besides, wouldn't you want you track record to be higher
1) Verticle Velocity(the launch, when you in the front, seems like you fly off the track) 2) American Eagle (classic woodie, was my favorite last year before i sat in front on v2) 3) Demon (back seat on Demon all the way, seems like the cart will fly off the track!) 4) The Black Knight (not all the bad when you wait 10 minutes, probably will take it out soon) 5)Viper (who doesnt like this? lol) 6)Batman (cool! just lost my eye sight by the g forces.) 7)Ragin' Cajun (classic, jerky, single riders line is mainly why) Raging Bull (not my type, pretty boring, I like fast launches) 9)Whizzer (its fast in some spots, ,actually a lot cooler than superman cause of the lake and trees) 10) Superman (hurts my stomach and seems boring to me)
^I don't disagree with you much. Everybody has their personal likes and dislikes. I, personally like balanced thrills which Raging Bull gives me wheras rides like V2 and Superman are either too intense the whole ride or boring in some spots and way too intense in others.

not you Demon_07, that was to Mr. I need to post my Top 10 here, who randomly posts utterly stupid information in a post dedicated to Village of Gurnee Zoning Code, which turned into discussion on coaster counting techniques.
I cant fathom how anyone's top 10 has anything to do with anything in either subject. My IQ literally dropped 30 points after even attempting to make sense out of any of the notes, which was my first mistake attempting to read in the first place.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 239, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 937, Wood: 179, Total: 1116
Honestly that is what topics do. I know if someone made a new topic about counting coasters, your top ten, ect the same people would be b1tching. Then if someone brought back an old topic the same people would be b1tching. Seriously, I don't disagree with you, but its a forum and that's what happens with discussions.
So you are telling me, you have never had a discussion (real life, IM, Phone, Ect) that went off topic??
Also, you starting to complain didn't help either...just as well as this post doesn't contribute to the topic.
Going off-topic happens all the time. Just need to go back to it before there are 10 posts with nothing to do with what the main post said. It happened with almost every topic here with over 50+ posts.

Raging Bull (not my type, pretty boring, I like fast launches)
