Have you ever challenged The Demon? What about when it was Turn of the Century? In this video we show you the early days of this classic coaster.

I. Can't. Believe. It! I've been trying to find footage of The Turn of the Century for a long time and finally came across this tonight! I first rode it in October of 1977 and, as others have stated, loved those two little bunny hills. Serious air time! Man, this brought back so many memories. Thank you so much for posting.

Turn of the century was a good person, the demon took his spirit out of nowhere

I rode them both when the one in Gurnee, Illinois had them. I rode TOTC the first year the park was open.

Please bring the old music back to the park, that good charming music 🎶 demon should be named back to turn of the century

Super13 I agree on the music part, but I don't think they should retheme it.

In Gurnee, now its Blaring-LOUD pop music. If you are sitting on a bench next to someone, you can't even hear them due to the LOUD park audio. It's horrible!......I do indeed miss the subtle background music of the park. It was that way for a reason......it set the right mood.

I believe that the water was eroding the Demon rock, so they turned it off. I'm sure it also costs a bit of money to keep it maintained and in operation.

please post the entire DEMON theme song/queue line them, there was like television reports doing spots about a Demon sighting, etc., the line for this was LONG when it was new and we heard it a zillion times. Would be great to hear it again.

Yeah they took that out a long time ago since it was very rusted because it was put in about 30 years ago. And was way to expensive to replace.
