If you can make it to the park in the next few days, go on American Eagle. In the blue side storage track is Eagles elusive third train (well the blue one anyways)It has brand new wheels, a new paint job, new lap bars. On the side of the cars is a diamond steel kickplate, like there was always. But they are changing them. The one on the front of the car is.....get this.....cut into the shape of FLAMES. Kinda like the flames that people paint on their hot rods (cars) . It looks really sharp. It's not colored or anything, but it looks cool nonetheless.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!
Wow, so do you think they are going to start running three trains soon? Haven't seen that happen in a LONG time.
Go Bulls!

Wow, that sounds awesome. I might have to take a run down there this week.
That sounds awsome! im heading up to the park this Saturday. I'll check it out. If i see it, i might try to get a picture of it. if i do, ill try to post it on here.
Just curious, why in a few days? I'm not scheduled to go to the park in a few days, but if there is some special reason then I may make a special trip down there... The new train sounds awesome... I wonder if eventually they'll do this to the other two.
Why all of a sudden do they have a third train. Well I think its great that they now have a third train. It sounds cool. Im going there tomorrow so Ill check it out. I also will try and get pictures.

probably time for a new paint job. it sounds like a cool design. I hope it is better that the logo on the other trains.
The logo isn't all that big, but it does look cool.I don't think that they will be running 3 trains. For one, nobody in the park is certified to operate the ride with 3 trains. That and the crows nest would have to be staffed.I think whats happening is that the trains are all getting an overhaul. New wheels, paint, the works. I think this train is going on and one of the others that is on now is coming off, then getting a refurb.

I can see that making sense if they are going to refurb one.
Yeah, wow... I'm excited to go again now!
I was there today and I saw the mechanic working on it a little... Hopefully it will start running soon...

If they did run 3 trains then there would be stacking.

Are they racing yet this year?
Awesome! So does that mean there are 6 trains altogether now, or just 2 on one side and one on the other?
They are racing the trains really good this year. The best I have ever seen them.
It was nice to see the trains racing again, The coaster was built as a twin racer.
pictures people!!!! im broke as a joke and cant go...someone please take some pictures! sounds amazing!
I'm going today with my camera. Great, that means no water rides. Oh well. This sounds too interesting.
Ok, now for the real important question. Does the train have wings? I hate those, they just take away any small amount of arm room you have...
Yes it has wings.Again, I would surmise that this is just a refurb of one train. I don't everthink Eagle will run with 3 again.

Yeah, I would doubt 3 (6) train op too. I don't know if its true, but I heard that it had blocking problems. Anyways, weren't the brakes at the top of the lift so it could slow down the trains on the lift enough so they wouldn't stop on the block brake? Or were those brakes just to add to excitment? If anyone knows, Chitown probably would, he's been riding it since it had buzzbars. Anyways, the ride doesn't need 6 trains, it's rare for it to have a long line, and with 4 trains, it's capacity is already higher than most other rides there.
somebody snap some shots of that bad boy
