Demon has similar trains, because they were made by Arrow. They are not the Shockwave trains. Demon has six cars per train, Shockwave had seven cars per train.
The Shockwave trains went to Great Adventure and Magic Mountain. I believe SFGAdv got two trains and SFMM got one train. Or it could be the other way around.

Ah ok. Well they looked awfully similar so thats why I guessed that. Thanks for correcting that.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

If I ever go to SFMM and/or SFGAdv(which I have plans to do in my lifetime) I shall definetly remember that. It will bring back memories.
Isn't the Great American Scream Machine@SFGAdv a Shockwave clone? The only difference is our's was built 1st. Viper@SFMM is almost a clone, just layed out a bit differently.
And wow this has gone off topic. Lol!

yea man i would have loved to ride shock wave
to short to when they took it down
yea at magic mountain shockwave is called viper and in great adventure its called great american scream machine
American Eagle: You can't have "Great America" with out the the "American Eagle." Plus they've been retracing the ride since 1997.
Raging Bull: Great America's best business decision to date. To take Raging Bull down would pretty much be suicide for Great America.
Batman the Ride: The world's first inverted looping coaster. Without this ride, half the rides in the world wouldn't even exist. This revolutionized the industry.
Whizzer: Its already been saved once. Plus, with the whole family friendly idea, this ride had "family friendly" written all over it.
Viper: This was built by Six Flags itself. Plus, it's a classic.
Ragin' Cajun: Again, has "family friendly" written all over it.
Superman: Ultimate Flight: It's still fairly new, and is still very popular.
GASM at SFGAdv is similar to Shockwave but not a clone, there are several significant design changes in addition to the extra few feet of height it has.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 239, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 937, Wood: 179, Total: 1116
yea i really have to agree
i thnk SUF will be taken down in like 10 years or so
its a fun ride
but its gonna get really boring after a while
and im sorry i know demon is one of the first rides in the park
but that thing is to old
i mean it may just be me but after my first 2 rides on that i was kinda like "eh this is sorta boring"
i just really want something big to hit again
im kinda getting tired of trying to get thrill from raging bull again
i need something new
thank lord im going to cedar point this summer
If you don't like your home park, don't complain. Theres plenty of other parks in the country for you to go to. You're posting here, you are a "roller coaster" enthusiast, not a SFGAm enthusiast.

Or they will make upgrades to the rides to refresh them.

Even though GASM and Shockwave were clones, GASM had nothing over Shockwave. Shockwave was barely trimmed and was so intense. GASM seemed slower and a tad more rough.
