Demon

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Demon is an awsome ride. It has had changes over the years. One change I noticed is at the top of the lift hill, there used to be 3 flag poles. How come they aren't there anymore?

They could've just moved em so they were out of reach. Oh well. Not much you can do about that. I'm very glad the soundtrack's back permanently though. =D Next on the list: Get the cage back.

I'd love to see fog but it's unlikely since they like to save stuff like that for fright fest around the WHOLE park. As we all know, the waterfall situation is done with unless they want to spend some serious money replacing the rock structures which they don't.

Do the eyes still light up at night? Because then it looks like your going into the rocks mouth.

That flagpole thing has the potential to open up a huge can of worms. We'll let Plencner explain that, with quotes please!

But I heard they were in bad shape and not worth repairing/replacing so they just cut them off at the bases. The bases are still up there.

If that's all you have to say, spare us the second we wasted reading it. By that I mean don't say it at all.


The fog is for Fright Fest only I believe. The water in the waterfall made the Demon supports pretty rusty around that area so to save money on water and maintnence, they were shut off.

About the flagpoles, I don't notice them whatsoever when I ride the Demon. It can't be that big of an issue. I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I'm more preoccupied on the actual coaster itself.

I didn't want to make a big deal about it, I just want to know what happened to them. I thought they were originaly for PGA and we didn't have any.

That is one of the reasons, but that would be a minor reason. That structure will literally fall apart if they fill that pool up again.

I am actually glad I wasted your pitifull seconds of life reading my post. :D

The flag poles must not have originally been on Turn of the Century, as all of the pictures I've looked at show none at all.
Also, did our waterfall run with the blood red water like the Santa Clara one did?
