I may be crazy, but in my opinion Demon's first drop gives one of the most intense small bits on any coaster. Backrow of Demon is certianly somewhat intimidating.
I dont remember the theming being that great on the demon in california. I rode it 2 years ago and besides having the old entrance and more trees, there isnt anything that special about it. The bigger tunnel isnt as good I dont think.
yeah, PGA redid theirs or SFGAm redid their's....well either way, Gurnee's Demon has a steeper drop.
Welcome to ShockWave please pull your harness down as far as it will go. While riding ShockWave please keep your hands and feet inside the car, and your head against the headrest, please hold on to all loose articles, especially hats and glasses. Enjoy your ride!
Besides theming both Demon rides are identical. Same drop, same loops, same track. Marriots ordered both rides at the same time. They even changed the hills to loops at the same time. Ride may feel different to how each park has taken care of them since but excact same layout.

Either Six Flags or Paramount changed the drop. Because Six Flag's is steeper than Paramount's. Yes Marriott did have them the same, but one was changed after the parks were bought.

I agree with coasterdude12-2, demon always felt too me like it had an insanely steep drop. I always seem to get more air than on Raging Bull. That could be just me, but i think the airtime is incredible.

I think one factor in it is the OTSR's. While they keep your shoulders in, the really don't do much for your lower body, which I guess means you can't be stapled in.
I know what the theming is like because I do, there is no reason for me to explain, I just wont say it on here because it is supposed to be a surprise, but I know you will like the improvements a lot. Old and new stuff.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
OOOH, theres all sorts of crazy rumors and ideas about what it now has....
Ive heard red lights everywhere for a better night time experience, torches, the blood, the music, demons around it, etc. I hope its even better than Im invisioning it now because from what talk is going around it sounds excellent
