Outdoor Man Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm probably a little slow, but what exactly quantifies him to be a "jerk?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks for the video, I appreciate it. The only thing missing was someone saying "Fried Dough" on the lift hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benred23 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm probably a little slow, but what exactly quantifies him to be a "jerk?" Well, How many hours ya got? He Bought the Land, promising to keep in operation, "The Great American Amusement Park" Yet instead, He operated it for a half a Year and shut it down. Also, His unwillingness to sell that portion of Land to another buyer so they could upkeep and Reopen the Park. He basically is holding it hostage. He Drained the Lake and Destroyed this once loved park... Thats just the tip of the Iceberg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What can't be understood by those that never rode the Eagle, is that it had one of the most insane moments of airtime on any coaster. The drop following the turnaround was unnerving to those riding in the rear car. It was as though the entire track fell from underneath you. That drop was so steep, as a matter of fact, that the rear seat of the car had a special "back" adhered to the rear of the train so that riders in the last row would not fall out backwards. I loved riding the coaster... and wish I could experience that feeling again :-( Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benred23 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ya Know, I was young when I rode the Eagle.. It being my first "Big" Coaster that I had ever ridden. As I watched this POV of it, I noticed when it pulled back into the station that the seat back on the Last car was higher and I wandered about that was all about. Wow! Thanks for the info on that..
