So sad this ride was taken down, because this looks to be hands down the best Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster ever made! Like, that swinging......HOLY CRAP MAN! That swinging is just intense as can be! That just looks insane. I have heard that this ride has ranked very very highly on a lot of lists from enthusiasts, including the Mitch Hawker Steel Coaster polls, I think in the top 10 at least. But yeah, Arrow Dynamics made a fantastic suspended coaster, but sad to see it go :(
The reason Eagle's Fortress closed is because its hillside location made it very difficult and time consuming for maintenance crews to work on the track. The intensity of the ride also put significantly more stress on the track and supports, which greatly affected the ride's service life. Additionally, when Arrow Dynamics went out of business in 2002, parts for the suspended coasters became much more expensive and difficult to find. The same thing happened to Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which closed the same year Eagle's Fortress closed.
@@andrewschannel4259 Yeah I can see how much stress the trains would have put on the structure also the train's shock absorbers, much more than the other Arrow Dynamics suspended coasters. Even if this ride didn't go, we know that S&S would have like to have kept this ride operational, since they own all the rest of Arrow's assets now. So it's thanks to them that we can still ride the remaining Arrow suspended coasters :)
@@wickedphant0m ummm, freaking *BANNISTER* has it ranked the greatest roller coaster ever built, followed by Stingray & Jungle Storm. It’s generally regarded as the holy grail of steel roller coasters
It was a Arrow Suspended coaster. Once Arrow Dynamics went out of businesses in the early 2000s, spare parts were much harder to come by. This made Eagle Fortress too expensive and difficult to maintain. As such it closed in 2009.
This ride looks like the greatest arrow coaster to ever exist. I’ve ridden the bat at kings island but this looks like that plus all other suspended coasters on steroids.
i wish i could have ridden this. i'm grateful to have vortex at canada's wonderland which is arguably the greatest suspended left (and is admittedly quite insane at night time), but this looks CRAZY!
This is in Korea (i think Yongsan someplace) but they do have suspended coasters all over the damn place. You should visit Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. They have every version of roller coaster ( i think they have 17 now).
@treasurehunter911 - Having ridden both many times (actually within 3 weeks of each other in 2007), Eagle's Fortress is (was) a far more intense coaster than Raptor. And yes, Raptor is a great coaster. But, for pretty much every person who has ridden both, there is NO question that Eagle's Fortress is a FAR SUPERIOR coaster.
@treasurehunter911 - I think for a suspended coaster, and at the time this was built, this looks to be amazing. Of course Raptor is better in many aspects, and is one of my favorite rides, but it came much after and was built by a completely different company, which doesn't reside in America my friend. Bolliger and Mabillard are housed in Switzerland I believe. Arrow Dynamics was in Utah. Raptor is amazing, and I am sure this one is too!
Reminds me of the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens with those swing out cars. Someone said Big Bad Wolf is gone now, is this true? ...i hope not! I rode it in ' 99 & loved it.
It's probably cuz Everland runs a test ride every few months or something. Some ppl who go to everland to ride the t-express go back sad cuz the ride is shut down due to test rides! And it stops if there's even a bit of wind. I think Everland is being more careful about stuff like that cuz there was another accident there which killed one person. It crushed the person. right in front of her family's eyes. She was trying to get out of the ride, but the employee didn't see so he runed the ride.
When you were filming the people behind you, the expression on that guys face directly behind you was one of someone that couldn't care less that he was on a coaster! He looked bored as hell.... I feel bad for his wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend...
R.I.P. Eagle's Fortress 1992-2009
Lookton Miller but he filmed this in 2011
I Must Trace The Reaper uploading and filming are two very different things
I Must Trace The Reaper, No, the video was uploaded in 2011, but it was filmed in 2009... it says it on the Theme Park Review website.
Quinton Parchment because Everland had a plan of removing it
Never realized this and Big Bad Wolf closed the same year

@@chorokee This could have easily competed with X2 easily, but X2 is definitely on another level.

이건 진짜 지형 활용해서 만든 수작인데 없어져서 너무 아쉽다
I really hope suspended coasters make a comeback some day
vekoma can revive it
Good idea!
B&M should do it. The potential of these is just insane.
It's really a shame that we lost this one to the sands of time. Looks like it was actually one of the all time greatest for Arrow.
For arrow…? It’s widely regarded as the greatest steel coaster ever made
@@marcbasil uhhhh... citation needed on that one.

this has got to be the most violent swinging coaster ive ever seen!
The original Bat looks crazier, but this is better.
"Swinging Coaster"
Yeah, that looks like a 90 degree swing.

Was my first roller coaster, back in 2002. Haven't been on any since, Once youv'e had the best, forget about the rest.
The forgotten legendary Suspended coaster has been torn down.
RIP Eagle Fortress.
I wonder why they would demolish this and give Rolling X Train an extensive restoration...

There was an accident.
there was an accident which resulted in someone dying

94년도에 생전 처음 탔던 롤러코스터 독수리요새.
그땐 잘 몰랐지만 서스펜디드방식은 국내최초였다. 현재 국내에 서스펜디드방식이 있는지는 모르겠지만.
국내최초 우든코스터인 티익스프레스도 굉장하다.
***** 독수리요새는 1992년에 탄생했는데요?
어린이대공원에 가족용 서스펜디드 롤코 생겼어요

Went to Everland last weekend. Eagle's Fortress has been removed and they are now constructing a new hotel in it's former place.
This sums up EVERY swinging coaster I've built in roller coaster tycoon
Suspended Swinging Coaster 1 looks to intense for me.
Just looking at Suspended Coaster 1 makes me feel sick.
I'm not going on Suspended Swinging Coaster 1 while it's raining!
This looks like an absolutely amazing ride. I really wish they would build these again!
에버랜드다 ㄷㄷ 이분들 한국 까지 오셨네 ㄷㄷ
그외에도 후렌치 레볼루션.아트란티스.파라오의 분노.환타지드림 등 다양하게 있어요.

this was one of the best roller coaster ever... R.I.P
Looks similar to Magic Mountain's Ninja but on steroids. My goodness that looked fast. :)
Holy crap that looks kinda awesome xD
this & T-express made An amazing 1 2 Punch and One Of the best 1 2 punches in The World.
Holy freaking crapping hell...
+Tejas Murthy agreed
What does that even mean, anyway previously the 11th best coaster in the world
I am still so shocked that Arrow made this intense of a suspended coaster. I mean look at that track banking :)
That is a properly epic coaster, shame to hear that it is no more
Best arrow suspended out there! At one point it swings at least 100 degrees reminds me of rct3 I made it swing 360 degrees over the track before!
+Simonthan wtf
+Simonthan haha
This ride looks like the greatest arrow coaster to ever exist. I’ve ridden the bat at kings island but this looks like that plus all other suspended coasters on steroids.
This seriously looks like one of the best coasters ever! :o
best suspended coaster ever.. i really miss it
This is one fun looking coaster. I like how it skims the ground most of the time. Beats Magic Mountain's Ninja hands down.
I would marathon this from sun up to sun down .
It is gone; however, there is a new roller coaster in its place. There is still the drop that goes over the water in remembrance. ;)
Wow a suspended coaster that has some legit serious swinging! Awesome!
1:53 "How much do you want to swing?" "Yes."
If I could go back and ride any one ride from the past, this would be the one.
2:13-2:30(ish idk) When your parent(s) call you to their room and you start contemplating your life choices.
This is the coolest coaster ever ..... Oh man it's like they forgot to add brakes ....lol.... Looks like fun : )
I've watched this POV so many times.
진짜 에버랜드 추억의놀이기구다
We still miss Eagle Fortress ;(
Thumbs up for watching the lift hill!
wow, of all coaster designs overseas, this coaster looks really good!
I think this was A LOT better t-express. I’ve never ridden either one tho
The last turns of this thing looks intense.
great memory for us all to see
No wonder those suspended swinging coasters have otsr's! That looks freakin awesome, wish we had one of them near here!!!
지금은 없어진 우리의 추억.
this is the best suspended arrow coaster EVER
awesome video Rob
i wish i could have ridden this. i'm grateful to have vortex at canada's wonderland which is arguably the greatest suspended left (and is admittedly quite insane at night time), but this looks CRAZY!
I rode both Big Bad Wolf and the replacement (called Verboten) and Big Bad Wolf was much better...
Sean Patterson, You're right, Verboten is much more of a family coaster than a thrill ride like Big Bad Wolf.
It's such a shame this thing closed
Best Suspended coaster ever! Even better than my beloved Vortex!
Suspended coasters are the best. I've said over and over again, The Big Bad Wolf was my favorite ride ever.
I didn't get a chance to ride the big bad wolf coasterrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but I've seen the replacement and it looks pretty coool :)
I have a special place in my heart for suspended swinging coasters lol coz I used to go on Vampire at Chessington (UK) every halloween
@themeparkreviewTPR Coasterforce doesn't break park rules, they always ask for permission before-hand
추억이 되버린 독수리 요새 ㅠㅠ 진짜 재밌었는데 철거되버린 ㅠㅠ
I don't get how they still haven't gotten anything to replace this coaster
I'm not going on Suspended Coaster 1. It isn't safe.
@ArrowWolf1984 Another sad thing that adds to this comment and video is how this coaster might be taken down as well.
Yongsan Everland. This ride is currently shut down due to a total of two deaths.
If they kept this everland would have the best Top 2 of all time, t express and, you know, one of the greatest coasters ever built
MUCH better then the Big Bad Wolf!!!!!!
Big Bad Wolf was pretty much a US version of this coaster.
This is in Korea (i think Yongsan someplace) but they do have suspended coasters all over the damn place. You should visit Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. They have every version of roller coaster ( i think they have 17 now).
Not necessarily, I saw the track still there, with my own two freaking eyes!!! It just might open again! I live with that hope:)

Reminds me of the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens with those swing out cars. Someone said Big Bad Wolf is gone now, is this true? ...i hope not! I rode it in ' 99 & loved it.
That looks insanely fun!
지금은 볼수가 없는 놀이기구..

that looks terrifyingly fun, i wanna go on it.
1:06 to skip the lift chain.....keep it at top of comment list so other pple can watch too!
heyyyy my name is john! Robb said hi to meeeee 🤣
1:32, 1:54, and 1:57 were the inspiration for the intamin whippy turns
This ride looks sketchy as hell though
Someone else told me the reason why they removed Big Bad Wolf, 'cuz it was very expensive to keep up & rode rough.
Eagle Fortress is now gone.
Is T-Express at the same park?
Yes
난 아직 타보지도 못했는데...ㅠㅠ
A lot like Ninja (Magic Mountain), one of my alltime favorites!
This reminds me a lot of the design The Bat had at Kings Island. Seems like Arrow took a lot from that coaster for this one.
It's probably cuz Everland runs a test ride every few months or something. Some ppl who go to everland to ride the t-express go back sad cuz the ride is shut down due to test rides!

I imagine the back row was terrifying lol
this looked pretty darned fun
The guy at 2:19 looks like Ron Livingston/Captain Nixon (Band of Brothers).
He's a dick.
looks like it might be better than the big bad wolf was
Is normally not allowed to take cameras onto roller coasters. You need the parks permission to do that.
I want any company to bring these back s&s or vekoma either will do I want to see them again
When you were filming the people behind you, the expression on that guys face directly behind you was one of someone that couldn't care less that he was on a coaster! He looked bored as hell.... I feel bad for his wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend...
theres nothing like riding a roller coaster and getting hit in the face with alot of tree branches
Just for your information.. There has never ever been any incidents on this coaster..
1992~2009
+진모 안타봐서 슬퍼요
ㅠㅠ
마지막 운행이 2008년 12월 31일이고 2009년 1월 1일부터 운행이 중단됬다가 2015년이 되서야 철거가 됬다고 하네요
Yes, but none come close to Eagle's Fortress (Flight Deck @ KI being the closest to it in America)
I heard the Eagle Fortress was standing but not operating.
well, we still have ninja
I wonder if Koaster Kids will have to say for this coaster?
