Soarin' Eagle is a flying roller coaster at Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. Riders lie face down, four across, in an eagle-styled train and climb a spiral lift before the track turns them through two heartline rolls.
The ride is a Zamperla Volare designed by Werner Stengel's engineering firm. It first ran as Flying Coaster at Elitch Gardens in Denver from 2002 until 2007, was dismantled in late 2010 and reopened in Coney Island in April 2011 as part of the park's new Scream Zone. RCDB gives a height of 50 feet, a top speed of 25.7 mph, two inversions and a ride time of 48 seconds. The park lists 1,293 feet of track.
The park's minimum height to ride alone is 52 inches.
