So SFgam is my home park I live 10 mins away and I have been going there as long as I can remember. I have always had an attachment to American eagle because of personal reasons and it’s just a super underrated great ride. But sadly over the years it hasn’t been the same. I feel like since it’s not racing it have taken away from one of the most important aspects of the ride. Now I hear people say that six flags should RMC it and convert it into a hybrid. But knowing six flags they wouldn’t do that and it doesn’t make since. A RMC would ruin a ride like AE. It is one of the few airtime based woodies left. I feel like a hybrid conversation would take away from the airtime and experience of the ride. RMC conversations are meant for trash rides and American eagle is not one of them. However they need to get it racing again. The ride is just not the same without racing and people don’t want to ride it because of that. Instead of a RMC I feel like they could give it a GCI retrack or something along the lines of that. They should keep it the same rollercoaster but insure that it will last for other generations to enjoy. That’s just my option on it. Let me know what you think.

Yeah I hope they don’t RMC it but then again your looking at a park with 4 B&Ms but still a GCI or GG retrack would be so much better for the ride
The park has 4 different B&M Models. An RMC conversion of AE wouldn't do much that Goliath already does.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying. they don’t need another Rmc. They have everything they could need
Although I could see them possibly doing a in house retrack, because of Viper and what they do with El Toro at SFGA
(just speculation tho)
