Daredevil Daze 2013 at Six Flags St. Louis, Eureka, Missouri

When the Screaming Eagle opened in 1976 it was the longest coaster in the world at 3,872 feet in length.

The thing is with all of the up and down over the hills of Six Flags St. Louis we probably walked almost twice that length.

In addition to being the longest coaster in the world when it opened the Screaming Eagle was also the fastest at a speedy 62mph.  Hey back then that was illegally fast as the national speed limit was a slow 55mph.

It is quite a hike up to the Screaming Eagle's turnaround.
