Warning:  These are old pictures from before I even had the vaguest idea how to shoot a decent picture.  Proceed with caution.

Here's the only decent shot of the Eagle that I have from then.   Basically these photos were taken in 1990 and I recently rediscovered them while going through a bunch of old photos.

Here's the first drop.  The land off to the right is where Southwest Territory and Raging Bull are today.

I hate headrests on coasters...they ruin photos.

The Shockwave was the tallest looping coaster in the world when it was put in.  I'm not a major fan of it's second half but the first drop rocks.
