Marriott's Great America Turn of the Century Footage | National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives

After being manufactured just a few miles north on Highway 101 by Arrow Development, Turn of the Century began thrilling riders at Marriott's Great America back in 1976. It sported an all-white structure and featured ejector airtime hills along with back-to-back corkscrews. It was renovated and re-themed in 1980 to become The Demon and still runs at both Great America parks in Santa Clara, CA a...

From scale models to full-size prototype; see how Arrow Development was *this close* to bringing a modern version of the Flying Turns to life. Had it been successful, the first model was scheduled to debut at Six Flags Over Texas for the 1980 season. Instead, Judge Roy Scream - a Bill Cobb-designed wooden coaster - took it's place in the park's coaster arsenal. Ironically, the park would eventu...

In the mid-1970's Arrow Development was confident they could make a roller coaster go upside down safely.

In our biggest and most ambitious move EVER, we moved and placed a large section of track from Texas Cyclone onto its permanent display inside the completed Mark Moore Memorial Building, with INCHES to spare!

Thank you for this video. Excellent to see this original coaster before they added the loops. Opened in 1976, became the Demon in 1980. Im going to do another video on Demon because I don’t think it’s going to be around much longer. The coaster company has been out of business for the last 20+ years or so and Im sure parts are hard to come by. Was this video the Gurnee Illinois park or the Santa Clara California park?
I remember riding this atleast once as I felt at one point I was going to fall over and off as my body shifted in a turn. I was scared crazy. I remember thinking how safety/security seemed weak. Then cam the soap box racers and those rocked!
I'm telling my kids this is Hagrid's Motorbikes.
Back when lawsuits weren’t a thing.
I remember this single rail coaster with Motorcycles before they were changed to Soap Box Derby Racers appearing in both Rct2 and Rct3 games.
“Demon” is one of my all time faves. Glad this ride lives on in a new form.
Wish all the old special effects were still running. Fog/lights at start, audio, light tunnel before the corkscrew, etc.
Before the coaster become POSSESSED. 😈
That's amazing. It definitely looked you had to have some daredevil blood in you to enjoy such a scary looking ride and especially with notucu to hold you down onto your seat.
I was able to love the Wacky Soap Box Racers for about 10 years before they took it out. How I wish I could have road the Motorcycles! Thanks for preserving this. I read the reason the WSBRs were taken out was the fiberglass ride bodies were too heavy for the part connecting it to the track, so they required constant/costly maintenance. Again, thanks!
Those would not exist today. Too much liability,,,..too dangerous. Also, people now are too stupid and unsafe.
Awesome!!! I have been searching for footage of this coaster. I am the only one in my family that remembers it was originally called Turn of the Century.
The location of Arrow Development in the 70s was in Mountain View, right next to the drive in theater on the north side of 101. Basically here: www.google.com/maps/@37.4164382,-122.0833061,181a,35y,151.42h,44.96t/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu The drive in has been replaced with a multiplex, and Google now owns the location of Arrow Development.
best coaster EVER
This was one of my all time favorite coasters. No, it doesn't look terribly fast or twisty, but because you were only sitting on a flat seat, with nothing but a canvas strap pulled over your waist and hooked onto - well, a hook! - no locking mechanism, and you had to sit upright and hold on. Modern day 'influencers' would likely end up getting seriously injured or killed trying to perform stunts on this.
I wasn't born yet when this coaster was Turn Of The Century. I only remember when it turned into the Demon. My parents did tell me what it was back in the 70s. Plus its cool to see old footage of the earlier years of the ride.
Brought back memories.
Wow, it looks like there's nothing keeping riders secure except for a tight grip on those handlebars! Can definitely understand why they revamped it to the Soap Box Derby trains.
While working at Arrow I was lead man in carpenter Shop. Made all the wooden parts for, Arrow called it the Run Away Train. 🥰
My Name is Pete Mirrione
The Ride was going to be called the Bobsled Ride. Pete's Woodworking in Morgan Hill made three wooden troughs for this ride, that were going to be used to make fiberglass molds from. Then the ride got cancelled.
YT: /watch?v=rwqVlSAjDAE This would be a nice addition. A workable backyard coaster that was closed and ordered torn down by the city for ordinance violations. This actually worked and was built by a 17 and 19 year old. The design was the same as a professional 8-layer wood stack build but thinner wood since it did not need to support as much weight.
Love the OTSR popping up before the train even comes to a full stop!
Wow..memories! I grew up in San Jose and we got to go very soon after the park opened. (Which we simply called " Marriot's". This was such a great coaster. I rode it before The Tidal Wave and The Demon were even in.
Turn of the Century became the Demon.
My first time ever riding a coaster with inversions may have been in that exact seat. My sister drug me on AND made me sit front row 😄 So happy to see a historic coaster getting the TLC it deserves.
It's our honor.
The Orient Express was my favorite ride at WOF growing up. I wish they'd bring it back. Great video!
Thanks!
When are you opening to the public
Thanks for asking! We're opening on Aug. 19 for an open house / West Texas Roundup, and there's still time to register here: acesouthcentral.ticketleap.com/WTX2023/
The original trains from super Duper looper at Hersheypark, one of the original Texas giant cars from six flags over Texas the Texas cyclones track from Houston Texas six Flags Astroworld and I’m not sure the train sitting on that track, that is not one of the Texas cyclone trains original PTCs, or the Morgan but that train does not belong there.
Good eyes. Since we didn't get any of the original Cyclone trains, we decided to best represent it with a 3-bench PTC from another coaster.
The sound of those Arrow restraints.
Thought y'all would like that :) #CoasterASMR
Thank you for your service montezooma🫡
This was probably my first roller coaster (or that might have been Knott's Corkscrew), but it has long been a favorite. I was worried when I heard it closed down. Hopefully it reopened at some point, almost identical to it's original form. Some rides are classics, and do not need to be replaced, but I can understand things eventually wearing out and needing to be replaced. But if, like somebody noted below, it was removed, I'm really disappointed. There's one thing I remembered on this ride that I didn't really remember seeing on other coasters I've ridden. I don't know if it was speed or shape of the loop, or what, but when going around this loop, my eyes always closed unless I really worked to force them to stay open. Never saw this happening on other rides like the Revolution or Incredible Hulk. Just Montezooma. I love playing RCT with the RTC1 looping coaster trains because the paint job design just reminds me of this ride, even if it wasn't perfect. (You got the two little squares you could paint yellow on the very front, but you couldn't get a yellow stripe between the red and green on the sides.)
I wanna buy one of the trains for $20
Average cost of a dedicated, one way flatbed truck is around $10,000 currently so...we'll have to pass :)
@@RollerCoasterMuseum it was a joke but I miss this ride so much
I am heartbroken to see that ride closed. I am very happy that they will take care of the memory but it is sad to see another memory of my childhood gone, but I can't thank you enough for your care and dedication to preserving such a wonderful coaster.
My siblings and I dragged our 40-something Aunt on that ride 14 times in a row. By the end, my Aunt was a rag doll. But we loved it! That ride was truly fun!
This ride was so smooth and its very nostalgic to see it and how its doing thank you guys for taking care of my favorite coaster's car
thats great that your taking care of knotts history!
It's our honor and pleasure to do so.
Wow!! I always rode in the front seat for so many years... This really hits home for me😢.. Please take good care of her..🙏🏿🤝🏿
We will!
It's so nice to see her!!!! So happy to hear that restraint click
Lots of socal kids had their first loop on Montezooma and/or Revolution. Iconic rides.
rip zoom
Great to see this footage. This video doesn't do the ride justice. It was so much faster than it looked. I remember being very scared I was going to fall off, it was so bumpy and turbulent to my 10-year-old self. I always felt safer on the Soap Box Derby version of the ride.
PLEASE MAKE ONE ABOUT THE LEGENDAIRY "ORIENT EXPRESS" FROM WORLDS OF FUN!!!!!
Subscribe and you just might get your wish this month!
One of the BEST roller coasters EVER!
I would have either poured it onto the ground outside or down the toilet instead of the sink.
Yeah, we're learning as we do more and more of these. Next investment: foam cannon.
My spine hurts just watching that last test.
So is montezoomas getting new trains when it re-opens?
And track. And launch.
Too bad nobody thought about saving a piece of the *Geauga Lake Park* - _Big Dipper_ or the *Conneaut Lake Park* - _Blue Streak._ The Blue Streak was on the PA Historic Registry before they decided to burn it down without telling anyone.
In both those cases, it wasn't possible given ownership and politics.
Once I got out of my teens the first hill crest before the turnaround made me slightly gray out for a split second. Geauga Lake advertising the Double Loop in 1978 made me convince my parents to go there instead of Conneaut Lake Park. It was a new tradition from that point on.
Beautiful! You can consider yourself so lucky to have this historic train in your collection! Btw, I am huge nerd when it comes to rollercoaster engineering and I also 3D model coaster trains. I have been searching for a while now for good reference photos of the underside of Schwartzkopf trains but so far, havent found much. Is there any chance to see more detail shots of the suspensions etc of these trains?
We'll see what we can do, but it's a tricky spot to get.
@@RollerCoasterMuseum No worries! I imagined it´s hard to get shots of the suspension as there are so few photos of it online, so I´m happy for anything I can get! :)
@4:22 Ah, the wonderful facial expressions of a "gray out".
We need knotts network to see this
MONTE......... 😭! Damn It! I really miss this ride. This was my all time favorite. To hear that announcement and the roar of the train going backwards through the loop makes me sad! I truly hope Knott's does not mess up with the revamp ride. Well, they did mess up by closing this ride down. Miss you Monte. Thank you for the many memories😢
