I am so glad the Bond has grown out of the Wiggles market demographic. Yeah they're not as annoying as Barney or the Teletubbies but they're just so damn syrupy sweet. Still though I miss going through the Eagles tent on the way through the ride. I understand their wanting to do something else with the space as the line for the Eagle rarely used it.

Yay there has been re-tracking on the Eagle. Maybe it'll finally rock instead of feeling like driving over rocky roads.

I have always held the Eagle in high regards while many other enthusiasts don't think much of it. It can be fun, especially on the rare occasion when they actually race it.

Still I wasn't that happy with the Eagle as all of the re-tracking had been done before the lift instead of after it where it is sorely needed. What's frustrating is that in the same park you have Viper which is the best maintained wooden coaster in the chain that has yet to give me a bad ride and here sits the eagle running like crap. I just don't get it.
