I think my least favorite was Mean Streak. I just thought it was rough in many spots.

Does anyone see a resemblance of Blue Streak in American Eagle?

No, not really, besides the fact they are both out n backs.

I'm going to guess Curtis Summers and Larry Bill when they designed Eagle I'd guess they were mildly influanced by the large IAD coasters if anything.

Let me clarify: Doesn't AE and Blue Streak have a resemlance going out? They both have a few hills and turn around. It differs with AE's alternate route back and its helix.

Also, do you guys like freefalls like Demon Drop better than second generation towers like Giant Drop and Power Tower?

well so do, Shivering Timbers, Colossos at Heide Park, ElToro at SFGAdv, Yankee Cannonball at Lake Winnie, Screamin Eagle at SFStL, Judge Roy Scream at SFOT, Hoosier Hurricane, Both Starliners, (CG and Lakemont), Boulderdash and probably at least a dozen others.

Each of those climb a lift, drop, do a few hills then turn around and come back, hence the term out n back.

And I like the original drops also, though Giant Drops are ok, not a fan of most S&S stuff, though double shot is entertaining

^Wildcat was indeed moved. It used to be where Disaster Transport is now. But workers did not pick it up and move it. It was disassembled and then rebuilt in its current location, as was the ferris wheel when CP brought the laser light show at night. (My dad always said that they rolled it, but there are photos of them taking it apart.)
