Demon off-ride HD Six Flags Great America

[@BluePisces1]

I remember riding this ride back in 1976. It was considered at that time a BIG thriller of a ride. It was lots of fun and brings back some good memories :)

[@michaelrainey9668]

Susan P. Yeah, I was 10 years old...Good times...simple thrills for relatively simple times. The warmth of an analog world!

[@missne-ne]

WOW😊 I was born in 76!!!yassssss, the BIG 45 coming in JULY💃🍹💪🙋😎🤣🎇🍰😵

[@randallappell9606]

This was my first roller coaster. Best decision I ever made! Ironically my daughters first was Raging Bull! Now she's hooked! Love six flags!

[@djs2356]

Very nicely photographed and edited... very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing!

[@egvrebdvtrB]

would be a good ride if they added some cushion to those head rests

[@avadeleon2804]

IKR there is no head rest and it’s just uncomfortable

[@user-is8oj4zs2o]

It hurts!

[@empireofshaolindvds4592]

No cushions will ever be added to this ride it's a Roller coaster legend landmark. I rode this Demon rollercoaster back in the 1980swhen I was in elementary I'm now 48 This ride is now 45 years old and built in 1976. I also rode the copycat rollercoaster Loch Ness monster back in 1978 at Busch gardens in Williamsburg VA.

[@The5thPuma]

Yeah, on the spiral thingy towards the end, I’m slamming my head everywhere

[@Drumdudeexplosives]

I like when you go on a ride, and you watch a train for that ride go by as you're walking out, and you think, I just went on that!?

[@lisipinter4274]

LISI1

[@horrorboost]

Did anyone else notice the Child's Play theme in the background as it went through the long tunnel?

[@rcb3000]

I always had a thing for Arrow Dynamics looping coasters.

[@jeremyAyeH]

Me too. Probably cause I grew up seeing the Steel Phantom every summer

[@viviannavee]

This is my favorite ride

[@missne-ne]

Mine too👍🏾

[@michaelmcshane6387]

Same

Those faces at the end say, “ow my head! Where am I!”

[@viviannavee]

Im going here in 2 weeks can't wait to ride this :)

[@WildGuyWiley]

Now it's working :)

[@coasterforce]

The first one was working too, but then stopped working. Hopefully that will not happen again.

[@mcmahan57]

JWilD morning morning was

[@robertd9020]

What I like about this Arrow Dynamics Coaster Marvelous creation is that Great America has kept it going since the 1970’s and I hope it won’t suffer the same Fate as one of my Favorite looping roller coasters Ever the Great American Scream Machine at my Home State Park Six Flags Great Adventure and when it does reach the end of its service life I hope Great America will replace with something that the Fans of Six Flags Great America of this coaster and Batman’s the ride plus Raging Bull that they will remember for the long Haul

[@rch1jr]

Despite this ride being as old as it is, if you know how to negotiate with the corkscrew it's still a fun ride

[@cicrule4223]

Looks awesome

[@missne-ne]

😨I LOVE it!!!

[@ImagineerJoshTeamSGW]

1:39 Railroad Crossing!

[@sharkmanxbro7082]

I've love the way the lift sounds and then just a loud woosh before the drop. It just tickles my balls.

[@Strangenstein]

Excellent video! I mentioned on another video of The Demon in California that the first drop on the Gurnee version seems steeper. Anyone know if that first drop is the same or different?

[@mallerly00]

Any tips on the corkscrew at the end? I got a massive headache from that the last time I went

[@SnowBoardAddict5]

Press your feet to the floor of the car and lean into the direction of the corkscrew.

[@iCoastAndGame]

Pro tip to ride tense your neck up entering the corkscrews that's the worst part with some very awful feeling motions but get through those three seconds and your golden.

[@SpongeSquid04]

0:07 those retraints don't make the ride rough so what makes it rough

[@triple7marc]

+SpongeSquid 0444 Just the age of the ride. It wears down over time.

[@SpongeSquid04]

+Marc Weiner so it should be renovated. Btw why do I see you everywhere in KZbin?

[@triple7marc]

SpongeSquid 0444 They probably won't renovate it because it is so old. They want to focus their money on more important things. You see me all over KZbin? On what type of videos?

[@woodcoasterdude]

it is in part the restraints, OTSRs are what you bang your head against. Besides that it's just the way arrow used to make their rides. Back when demon was built and I think right up until their last few coasters arrow would finish the track pieces on site whereas newer manufacturers do it in factory where they can make the track more precisely and therefore smoother. The rest of it is the arrow designs. They may have been top notch at the time but the transitions into corkscrews on almost all of their rides are awkward and have the train sideways before rising into the corkscrew itself so when the upward transition hits it sorta smacks your head down into the restraint.

[@rct800]

Didn't this coaster got stuck at the top of one of the loops a few years ago?

[@Drumdudeexplosives]

Yes. In 1998, the black train got stuck in one of the loops.

[@TylerPCoyne]

0:59 that’s the theme song for Child’s Play playing in the background

[@perfectlittledevil7319]

This was my first roller coaster haha

[@johnbrooks715]

CoasterForce, what is your favourite Arrow Dynamic coaster?

[@coasterforce]

Most of our members say X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain is their favorite Arrow Dynamic coaster.

[@johnbrooks715]

That is an amazing coaster mainly because it is a 4d coaster. :) My favourites are Vortex and Dragon Fire at Canada's Wonderland. :)

[@tigerrocks503]

This thing 🙂

[@TycoonDaKnite]

Heres the thing tho.what do demons have to do with a county fair? Same with eagles?

[@kasiaz1261]

You hit your head on the headrests really hard it gave me neck pain for like 4 days T^T

[@4373fg]

Is that B&M in the background Raging Bull? Also wasn't Demon used in the first scene of Final Destination 3?

[@jo-jowei6147]

If you're talking about 2:26, then yes, that is Raging Bull in the background. Also around 52 seconds that is also Raging Bull. The roller coaster at 1:30 is X-Flight.

[@jillalfrejd6955]

I love this ride it is fun

[@basketballgirl1021]

I've heard this ride is painful. How bad is it? It's the only ride I haven't been on at Great America

[@lil_lady8403]

It isnt painful it's actaully the least scariest ride you get on at one point your head bangs across the seat after like going to second loop just stay stiff plus I got on twice thats saying alot.

[@leedarian]

This is the same exact ride that we have in california great america

[@darrentan4579]

United States 🇺🇸

[@richardc1720]

0:54 what the heck is that?

[@parkermargeson6875]

Lol that’s a fright fest prop

[@mdubs54]

@1021emmy Its not bad its just some people are dumb and pull their head off the seat and thats what usually hurts. Its a great ride, just don't do that.

[@Vanascell]

This ride really destroys ur neck and head.

[@coasteronroblox]

1:00 Wtf Child's Play Theme song?

[@WolfRaging95]

It was filmed during Fright Fest.

[@RockyandTuck]

Finally! An off ride of this coaster!

[@ernestadams9283]

YEAH

[@luckyprideaj2281]

I hurt my back on this coaster, but it was fun.

[@lar4708]

I just go done watching the POV

[@supermanni500]

If the coaster is painful, maybe they should upgrade those coaster cars

[@mspsummerbae5679]

Me & my brother went on

[@oddlookinbloke8753]

i have to time this and do it for physics homework

[@nolang.2254]

I know right +DarianLee

[@cancelled148]

I’m more of a person to view a ride in action instead of actually ride it.

[@missne-ne]

😂

[@Jupitearth]

I’m going on that today I’m scared

[@eddieramos1685]

this is like the demon at great america

[@miaroche2184]

Eddie Ramos because it is

[@missne-ne]

Yassss...it's in Illinois

[@gachalilly4814]

And it was a long line

[@gachalilly4814]

I went that ride it was scary I couldn't breath but I'm ok I'm still a kid

[@brzezij]

The corkscrews on this ride is the worst part. It bumps you to the headrests. Ouch! This is probably one of the worst coasters I've ever been on.

[@tigerrocks503]

brzezij Shockwave was worse. Anaconda is even more torture.

[@rollercoasterfan1018]

When the ride went in the tunnel I heard the song from chucky.

[@YouLovesChloe]

Isn't this ride really rackety and shaky?

[@christina5961]

yes kinda. not as much as the grizzly though

[@hakus_hakemtanki7539]

I'm less than ten years old so if you think I'm weird that's why. anyway, after the first two loops I ALMOST barfed. YEA.

[@scouttroops9270]

bruh the demon isn't even scary at all in fact none of the roller coasters are scary they all make me laugh and want to get on it again

[@azestical6566]

Scout Troops try kingda ka if you don’t think any roller coasters are scary

[@beautybyjaquelyn22]

Mine works

[@amberbromley5096]

I will be at six flags great America in 13 more days can't wait and we are staying there for three days and we are going to get a limbo to go out to eat in a hotel at six flags and me and my family are getting a sweet at six hotel and we get room service and we get to get anything we want like CAKE and ICECREAM😜😘👍👌✌️

[@Drumdudeexplosives]

Two things: 1. Good for you! 😄 2. You shouldn't say these types of things on the Internet because people will get jealous and hate on you. Just some advise.😜

[@natelaux5930]

Not too bad for an arrow tbh

[@JVGmidi]

Efteling

[@mirandab3582]

I hate this ride. It gave me a bad headache

[@theloyalone100]

This ride should have been closed or replaced years ago. A 30 year old coaster? Maybe they are keeping it open for nostalgic reasons but everyone over 16 years of age would find this ride boring after their 2nd ride.

[@mdubs54]

Not this 16 year old, its nostalgic for me and i wasnt even around for its younger years. One of my personal favorites
