Demon's popularity

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

Demon's line is always long when I go. (mabye I just go on bad days). But, anyway Tim Black wouldn't be very smart to get rid of it. My sister rode it when she way 5! It brought her to the park again and again and now she rides bull at least 6 times when we go there. My point is, Demon's a step up from the Whizzer to get young kids to be coaster fans
Goodbye 11/9!

This is mostly for tyster22, but it may apply to you if you want to know some things about the "old Demon."

It's probably the best site about the Demon in the 80's.

Upside down.

Demon's an awesome ride. Not one of my favorites, but I love it. I'd hate to see it go.

You better pray to God that Papas didn't hear that :evil:

Demon is a great Arrow (if you know how to ride it properly, and the way the track is place around the park makes it nearly impossible to take down without complaints or a real change to the already beautiful area it's situated in. And if it's trash, why did they just give it a paint job?

It's one of the better small scale Arrow loopers that I have ridden.


Nope they didn't give up. On saturday July 10th they had all three trains running but were stacking so yea pointless.

Papas is to busy riding Demon!!!!!!

Demon is the second best Arrow looper Ive been on (Tennessee Tornado first) in my opinion, it has gotten smoother over the years. Every time I go on it, it gets better. It is not a piece of trash.

Yeah this is very true I litterally can ride Demon with my hands in my lap. You have to know to keep your head back in the corkscrews, if you keep it firmly against the headrest you won't bang your head. Everyone always says that Demon is rough and stuff like that because they hit their heads but that is their own fault and Demon isn't rough at all.

You shouldn't have to do stuff like that on rides.

You shouldn't have to keep your head firmly against the headrest? Are you kidding me your supposed to do that. They tell you to keep you head firmly against the headrest at all times. If you don't do that which most people don't you deserve to get you head knocked around a few times, maybe it will knock some sense into you people.

Well said. In the corkscrews I usually put my head against the right side of the harness, and I don't get knocked around. Last year I did get knocked around by doing that, but this year I haven't yet, it's smoother. Like UnBullievable said, it's a great ride if you know how to ride it properly.

Um, WHAT!?!? No, sorry, they run 3 trains when theres a long line and they have enough staff to, they have been and continue to do it on crowded weekends this summer. Sometimes they have to bring people from other rides.

It is pointless (not because of the crowd) because it so short (1:45 according to rcdb.com). So, it just backs things up, and makes the workers work harder for no reason. I get mad at SFOG for having one train on most of their coasters, but I can't complain at SFGAm for having two on IW, BTR, Demon, and SUF. Viper is my only problem (could and should have three). For Viper, it also says 1:45. I don't believe that. Next, time I'm there, you'll get my official time. The lift alone could rack up a lot of time. Viper is shorter than BTR, I don't believe that.

Viper with 3 would work, if they had 2 stations.
In case your wondering Demon has 2 mcbr's while Viper has 0.
