December 30, 200421 yr Here is a picture of where the Flying Eagles will be at Carowinds next year. Also for more pictures click here
December 30, 200421 yr Those jerks better take good care of that ride. Otherwise they'll be recieving many a blow from my fists.
December 30, 200421 yr It is sad that they are gone, it is really my first ride "deconstruction" since the Banshee at holiday world, i liked that, but the swings are fun too. Poor Birdies!
December 30, 200421 yr Maybe in the future PKI will get another set of eagles, it just won't be the same though. I think Paramount ought to pull an Aprils Fools Day joke on us, the'll announce the original eagles are staying here and that Carowinds is getting a new set. It would never happen but this would be one huge suprise. -Jake
December 30, 200421 yr What would be the differnce of a new set of Eagles or the old one. Would it just be the same thing?
December 30, 200421 yr No, PGA has a new scooters and you can't snap the cables... not that there is a rule against it, it's just phyiscally impossible. Don't argue with me, I went there this summer and I worked on our Scooters for 2 years.
December 30, 200421 yr I'm not trying to argue. I'm just not seeing the big deal with the whole, "O my God! Life is over!," thing with Scooters. And don't argue with me about that because I thought first aid had to be called because of grown men crying thier hearts out, and taking leaves from the ride area and putting them in thier pockets.
December 30, 200421 yr Life goes on, get over it for real. I loved the ride. It was one of my kid’s favorite. But seriously just let it go.

"Life goes on, get over it for real. I loved the ride. It was one of my kid’s favorite. But seriously just let it go." My two favorite posts of the day! I've been saying the same thing for a month now.
December 30, 200421 yr Hey my roommate was p*ssed off that PKI took out the scooters as for me I am sad that they are gone because they brought so much joy to so many people but not me I never did ride em I was a chicken.
December 30, 200421 yr Here’s a polite way to look at this issue. Loosing 2 flat rides….gaining a great themed coaster. I am sure you will see something replacing them when they expand the kids area.
December 31, 200421 yr Here`s an idea. It probably won`t happen, but this is Paramount we are talking about. The Eagles are being moved into Carowinds Nick themed area. Well, word on the street is that the 2006`s expansion will be in Nick Central. Now I know it is not likely that PKI would invest in a new set of Flyers for their expansion, but you never know. Yes, Eagles and Tiques were classic PKI rides, but sometimes the past has to be removed to make room for the future. Just look at the past. Flying Dutchman for Adventure Express. King Cobra for Delirium, Kenton`s Cove Keelboat Canal for TR:TR, Phantom Theater for Scooby Doo. While I am sad to see the Scooters leave, I am looking forward to the new coaster that replaced them. And at least they did not scrap the Scooters. They will fly on in a new home to thrill new locals and more generations of brave riders.
December 31, 200421 yr As cool as the Flying Eagles were, I fully accept PKI without them. However, if I could bring back Phantom Theater....I surely would. And in my opinion PKI is not as super-duper a park as it would be if Phantom Theater was still there. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Italian Chef
December 31, 200421 yr yeah PKI blows out the ass now. I hate all you people who call for change. f*** change dudes. f*** it. I love my job though, thats all that matters.

December 31, 200421 yr Author Sorry I made you mad. I just whated to show people that the Flying Eagles are still around and they very close to going back up in a Paramount Park. I am sure the new coaster and other things Paramount has in store for 2005 well make up for the Flyers going. Its not that bad back in the 1980's they took alot of flats out each year.
December 31, 200421 yr I am sure Carowinds will take care of the Flying Eagles, look at Stealth. It is now BORG Assimilator and it runs better at Carowinds than it did at Great America.
January 1, 200521 yr Hey my roommate was p*ssed off that PKI took out the scooters as for me I am sad that they are gone because they brought so much joy to so many people but not me I never did ride em I was a chicken. There is a lot more rides in the park that give people joy. Just not Scooters.
January 1, 200521 yr But Scooters was one of a kind ride where it was always a different ride!!! I loved that ride I probably rode it 400+ times this year!
January 1, 200521 yr But Scooters was one of a kind ride where it was always a different ride!!! I loved that ride I probably rode it 400+ times this year! Every ride is different.

January 2, 200521 yr Not according to some. Flying Eagles was not a unique ride either. You can find them still.
