Six Flags America, Largo, MD, USA -

Changes are finally taking place at Six Flags America in Largo, Maryland. Unfortunetly, the changes are of the type that most ride enthusiasts hate to see.

Rumors started circulating around the internet in previous months about the Iron Eagle and the Krypton Comet being removed from the park before the 2006 operating season. The Krypton Comet soon disappeared from the park's ride listings and the rumor was soon confirmed that the Chance Chaos had been removed.

While visiting Six Flags America, Six Flags Cheif Executive Mark Shapiro confirmed the rumors that the Iron Eagle will also be removed before the start of the 2006 season.

The company, which is already in massive debt, will spend an astonishing $80,000 to remove the Iron Eagle. Shapiro commented that the ride had become more of an eyesore in recent years and that he personally hates rides that just flip riders upside down and would rather see something with drops and turns in the, such as a Tilt-a-Whirl, in the Iron Eagle's spot.
