Vertical Velocity as theres already a huge station banner for it.
And little Axe Twist stickers on the back of each car. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
It has nothing to do with the gum! All they have to do is put a sign at the enterance and the exits of the ride and all will be fine i think that this is just ridiculous and too much. this is overkill and stupid. Just like a stupid commerical if the commerical is stupid then i WILL NOT BUY THE PRODUCT. Ergo this is a stupid advertisement so i will not be buying the gum any time soon.
People are complaining because it looks bad and it's the worst case of Irony. Gum Chewing is not allowed on rides...yet, they advertise it? IRONY. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
...RIGHT. I meant V2.
You could make the same case for Chupa Chups lolipops and Miracle Whip. Neither are allowed either on rides. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Yeah, but Gum is the only product brought into the park. I highly doubt someone brings a jar/bottle of Miracle Whip with them. And not a single guest is dumb enough to even try to eat anything else on the ride since the staff will notice. Gum can easily be hidden. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^What, you have never tried to hit a jar of Miracle Whip into the park before?
No, But I've gotten away with a ketchup bottle to avoid the annoying little packets. Sracasm. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
ok. So I had just gotten off Raging bull and I see this brightly colored ride about to go down the ramp and Im wonderin...."That can't be a new ride.....wait wtf is that demon???" Dam Demon looks so fruity. Jeez almost every ride now has to have advertising. Ok so a ride called Demon is brightly colored blue and green. Kinda degrades the name and look of the ride because its brightly colored. Eh hope they get rid of the ads in time for Frightfest.
I don't know, I Like the Train Colors.

With all of this lousy ad placements on rides it makes one wish even more that SF would have just went bankrupt and the parks would have been sold off piece meal, maybe we would have got lucky and been bought by a company that doesnt degrade it in the manner that SF does!!
Apparently any hope of any theming in the park is gone!!!
^Took the words right out of my mouth. However, the park's gotta get some money somehow I guess...Hopefully this won't last too long...
Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
^It will as the chain has no clue to fix their problems on a whole. This is their "fix" which does address core problems with the companies strategy. It will provide income, but expect panic mode once the income from ads plateaus.
I think for as long as the ads are on the ride we should call it like wife of the Demon or the Banshee (Banshees are women I think)
Are the wikipedia rumors true?? Will the Blood Waterfall be back for the 2011 season? All the way on the bottom it says 2010 season: Black train recieves flames on both sides in replacement to the red stripe. Tunnel light have switched to on/off they turn on when the train enters the tunnel and turn off when the train leaves with no effects. It also goes further to say that work seems to be under way to resurrect the old front logo, and bring back the waterfall along the corkscrews. I certainly hope so I never rode the DEMON witht he waterfalls!!!!
^As a general rule, never believe wikipedia without a source.
I agree that it looks kind of silly on a coaster named Demon. However I think its working to not only gain money from advertising but to get more people to ride. I generally avoid Demon as the corkscrew hurts my neck every time. However every time I've gone this year with younger kids. (particularly my 7, 9 and 13 year old nieces) They saw that bright colored car from a distance and immediately got excited yelling "I want to ride on that one!" and practically drag me across the park to get to it. (and they insisted on waiting an extra time to get on the "fun colored" one.) So well it may look stupid to me I have to say its working for the younger girls.
Done
That's how it's always been since the top lights were removed.
That started as a rumor on facebook.
Not without a major redesign of the waterfall/rock structure, or a way to protect the track from corrosion.
How is it that Demon's track can't be sprayed with water, but coasters like Behemoth, Diamondback, and Shiekra are sitting in water for days on end.
If you look carefully you'll see the track itself is sitting in a trench, keeping the water out. Although, I'd imagine its still alot of constant water exposure for steel.

Speaking of Demon, it was closed down all day long on Saturday. I saw a few guys working on the lift all day even through all of the rain.
Anyone have an idea what is going on with Demon? Did the rainbow colored ad sticker get stuck in the old chain?
I think something was wrong with the chain.
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
It snapped. I hope nobody got hurt.
