Place: Marriott's Great America
Today we celebrate the opening of the American Eagle. The American Eagle holds a place in the 1981 Guinness Book of World Records as the "Tallest, Fastest, Double Racing Wooden Roller Coaster in the World". With a lift hill standing at 127 Feet 10 inches, and a first drop of 147 feet 10 inches at a top speed of 66.32 MPH.
In honor of this event, I will be spending the day at the Gurnee park, riding this awesome coaster.
Happy Anniversary American Eagle!
