American Eagle is a wooden racing roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America theme park in Gurnee, Illinois. It was the first wooden roller coaster designed by Intamin of Switzerland and was built in 1981 by the contracting firm Figley-Wright. While the records have since been broken, American Eagle had the longest drop and fastest speed among wooden roller coasters when it debuted and is still recognized as a top racing coaster in the United States.
Guests enter the queue area to the right of the KIDZOPOLIS section . Prior to KIDZOPOLIS being built, guests entered the queue through the large "Eagle Tent," which had been used for a circus between 1976–1980. Approaching the station, the queue line splits, allowing guests to choose between riding the "Red Side" and the "Blue Side" . Both sides offer similar ride experiences, although in 1991, 1996, 2002–2005, 2011 , and for the fall of 2013, the Blue Side ran its trains backward. Guests then enter the ride platform from their track's side of the station.
