^I rode it only during 2001 and 2002 as I just made the height requirment those two seasons. Lets just say the only good spot on that ride was the front row, any other row and you were setting yourself up for some serious hurt. Overall, it just aged bad and was way to much to maintain for the park.

Add another loop to Demon - a little bigger (Easy to black out in the third loop!), and than add one of the weirdest & most painful / tortuous inversions you can think of after the 3rd loop on Demon, and than 2 corkscrews like Demon at the end.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. I meant GASM and Viper specifically. I forgot that GASM was demolished already *sadface*. Now I only have Viper left, and that's not even a direct replica. I really hope they keep it up for a while, I have no idea when I'll make a trip there...
