Poor Poor Demon

[DejaVu2001]

^ It has been like that all year (though you could only see it opening weekend). All three trains were repainted over the offseason. Before this year, train 3 had the lettering really low, while train 4 and train 5 had the lettering closer to the top.

So this really doesn't have to do much with the main topic but it is about Demon and I don't think it's worth starting a whole new topic for this question. What part of Demon uses a refreshed piece of track from Shockwave?

[Jackluver18]

Wasn't the lift chain from Shockwave?

[ttd rox]

Yeah, I believe the lift motor was placed on Demon from Shockwave.

It says on Wikpedia that it replaced an erroding piece of track. So i think somewhere right before the corkscrews because of the waterfall.

Black train was stuck on bottom of lift hill today.

I was stuck on red train in the brake run, they had all three trains running today.

Did get a exit pas, and black train was removed.

So you're waitin' here in line better take a little time for meditating, cause hes waiting HES THE DEMON! Theres time to change your mind cause soon your gonna find that youre on a trip in the grip of the DEMON! Is the Demon a creation of your imagination? How will you feel, if hes real? The Demon is the master, he'll smile as you go faster, then he'll sneak up behind you!

So you think your really brave gonna see the Demons cave? You silly dude, you're only food... for the DEMON. Don't say we didn't tell you the demon can smell you... you're delicious, nutritious, to the DEMON! Don't look over your shoulder, just when youre feeling bolder. He'll be there, in the air. The Demon's so demanding, so have this understanding, that youre gonna ride! PETRIFIED!!!!

Have you ever seen the Demon? Have you ever heard him scream? Is the Demon what he seems or is it just a bad, bad dream in your miiiind, you're gonna fiiiiiiiiind OUT about the demon. Now you can hear him, the demon you better fear him, the demon hes gonna shake you, the demon hes gonna break you, the demon hes never lazy, the demon he'll drive you crazy, the demon well we can betcha, the demon hes gonna getcha, the demon hes gonna find you, the demon hes right behind you. He's the demonnn, hes the demonnn, hes the demonnn, the demoooon!!!

Certain leading scientists have theorized that the demon first waited ashore. From the dark muddy depths of the Louisiana swamp. Other researchers believe the demon was conceived in the scummy oily goo, UCK at the bottom of New York Harbor. And finally a third group has determined that the demon came from a lump of green slime. It landed in New Mexico in 1923 after an intergalactic battle. No matter, what we are really interested in is WHERE IS THE DEMON?? How did he get there? And why, why does he stay? It was approximately 9pm on a cool misty Thursday night that the demon rules and slithered into this amusement park. No one saw him at the time because he was apparently very small, something about the size of the alien. You do remember the alien? Well the demon must have a past himself. The one with the cars on this very ride for which you are standing in line. The demon stayed with the car to the top of the ride and then vanished. "Poof" into thin air, somewhere inside the vast super structure which supports it. How do we know that the demon was up there? Because the people in that car were never seen again! The demon devoured everything except for few pieces of clothing and various personal affects. The demon has repossessed so many riders that hes to large to free himself, in effect hes a monstrous animal now, and this ride is his cage. And with this dreadful fact in mind we urge you as you ride DO NOT FEED THE ANIMAL!! Rawr!!!

THATS TOTAL DISRESPECT TO THE DEMON.

The only advertisment I actually LIKE at the park are the funny m&m signs you usually see on Viper.

That I can handle...but this...COME ON

It's nearly impossible these days to run 3 trains on Demon to increase capacity. You really have to have a good crew that can be fast at getting people on, off, and through the turnstyle. Ever since the park changed the safety rule about guests being completely off the platform before dispatching the next train, that pretty much put a dent in the purpose of running 3 trains.

The timer is also off, and I'm not sure how long this has been but was there when I was one of the FF leads at Demon in 2007. We had a night where they decided to use all 3 trains and the line was completely full and spilling out to the midway so between Demon and Deja Vu, the area was a complete mess. Anyways, with 3 trains you were able to send the next one as soon as the previous one cleared the lift hill. We were ready, but the computer didn't actually light the dispatch/enable buttons until the previous train cleared the first loop.

The ride can be a capacity eater with 3 trains....if you can get around the operational obstacles.
