Shortly after we started the tour one of the kids found a bolt from the ride and after Six Flags gave their permission for them to treasure hunt for souvenirs all of them spent their time scouring the grounds for bolts, washers, nails, nuts and bits of wood from the Eagle. Bond found some eighteen inch long screws but I had to draw the line on that item as I really didn't want to walk around the park with it and he doesn't need a huge rusty nail sitting around his room.

John Allen who designed the Screaming Eagle once said that a coaster should not just inspire awe from a ride full of thrills but from it's magnificent beauty.

The Screaming Eagle, set amongst the trees and hills of Six Flags St. Louis was the crowning achievement in his career but is also fits his criteria of giving a thrilling ride and inspiring awe with it's beauty.

Using it's hilly terrain the Screaming Eagle's third drop is almost as big as it's first. At the bottom of it is where the coaster hit's it's fastest speed.
