This Arrow Dynamics looper dates
back to 1976 and remains in pretty good condition for its age. Consisting
of six cars seating two across in rows of two for a total capacity of 24 riders,
the train leaves the loading station, travels through a short tunnel, ascends a 103.7-foot lift hill, veers left and drops 90
feet. It then goes through two consecutive
vertical loops before entering a tunnel with special lighting effects. From there it rises, negotiates a left turn and
enters a second tunnel, finishing with a double corkscrew before returning to the
station.
The ride experience is enjoyable
for the first three quarters of the ride. Although some
may disagree with me, I found the double corkscrew brutally rough and
consequently had no inclination to re-ride. Demon is OK if you don’t mind getting banged up
a bit. 2 ½ out of 5 stars. For more information about rides at Six Flags
