my favorite concussion machine
Savage
This ride had nothing on shock wave when it comes to concussions
Just went today and the last few minutes of the ride my head would hit the side back and fourth
The middle of the train is a little smoother than the rear and front. Keep youre head back helps out a lot. Realize its a hardcore looper. Keep it where it is. Unless they bring back the Shockwave. Its big brother
They should get vekoma trains with the vest restraints. They are like the vest restraints on x flight
this is pretty damn fun, and also it was my first rollercoaster
This too was my first roller coaster the thing I don't like about it tho is that u have to stable ur head bc if u don't ur head goes hitting the sides of the gadgets u r put into but the rest it's so awesome
Same here
I rode this when I was little, and I liked it. But years later, I have grown and hit my head a bunch of times. Now I don't like it o~o
^
Mustache Cashdash it was my first "big" roller coaster
Just hold your head back and you'll be fine. I've got on this thing hundreds of time and as long as you hold your head back, it won't bang back and forth in the restraint. It's not a big deal.
sammy jean so just keep my head back? I'm going on this ride Saturday and people in the comments say you hit your head a lot?
That’s what I do and I know how to control my self too so I love this ride
I did hold my back head
That is hard when it goes upside down and your head will naturally fall forward and it will slam back to the seat after
That's been my experience, as well. Mind you, I haven't ridden it for nearly twenty years.
I hit my head so much on this one!
me too
Shorter people hit the sides of their heads on the harness.
+CRW well I'm tall but I didn't expect the turns
CRW that's true. I was 11 when I rode this.
oh good, I thought I was the only one and was just sensitive. I hate this ride because of that reason alone...aside from it being slow halfway through >
at one point when you are climbing the hill, it drops back a bit and scares me so much
Lexi Klusmann facts‼️
Lexi Klusmann i freaked out omg
This.ride.was.transformed.into.the.Demon.by.1980...it.used.to.be.called.Turn.Of.The.Century.when.the.amusement.park.first.opened.up.in.1976...then.afterwards.they.had.to.change.a.few.parts.of.the.rollercoaster...which.had.hills..that.each.rider.was.forced.to.lift.up.an.inch.from.their.seats.when.the.rollercoaster.went.down.fast...then.they.replaced.those.hills.with.2.vertical.loops.and.added.the.tunnels
Same with Goliath
Goliath does that too, it is horrifying
No wonder it’s called the demon, it bangs you around
I went on this when it first opened -- it was so cool back then! It was the first roller-coaster I went on that had both types of loops in it. Riding it at night was the best; there was steam coming out of the demon's mouth, and the eyes would glow. The best thing, though, was the dorky song that would play while you were waiting in line: "The Demon is gonna getcha!"
Nice ! haha. That does sound really cool ! Thanks for sharing your story with me :)
N
JewelChick01 I wrote this ride when it first came out I was probably 11 or 12 and there was steam in the tunnel as you went up the hill and then the lights you see in the tunnel here we're always there for a while and now I think they took both the Steam and the lights away which to me is ridiculous because those two elements make the ride just a little bit more sweeter
I remember that! Loved the tunnel.
you guys must be pretty old lol just kidding
I love this ride!! The only bad thing is at the end you hit your head on the head rest.
I try so hard to keep my head back and it still hurts because my head keeps hitting the sides.
This roller coaster made me yell so much and also I hit my head so much! 😂 well when I first rode it 😂
A little advice: let this be the last ride you get on in the park. It will give you a headache like no other, regardless if you keep your head back or not....
Nina Kennedy I've been on it not for me
same with batman. it gives me migraines
batman in NJ gives me migraines but it doesn't if you sit in row 4
my friend and i were giving warnings to keep your head back before the corkscrew
Slime Kid don't matter.....good luck.
If you want a concussion then this ride is for you.
Lol me too
Um no I got on this Friday August 10th 2018 4 TIMES! And all you gotta do is place your head against the lap bar for the corksrews to your right and that all so your wrong!
Jazleen Trujillo-Bueno um, this comment was a joke.
Ikr
Your profile picture fits with what you said 😂
One word: ow
Joe Coaster ikr I almost broke my neck on the loop parts
ikr I got whiplash in the corkscrew
Joe Coaster I broke my ribs XD
Carly Marie same
MillioZ exactly
Welocme too the " lets bang your head whenever you go upsidedown " ride!
( this was my first upsidedown coaster )
My first real roller coaster. Great but the Batman is my favorite. I actually didn’t hurt my head when I went on it
My favorite is Superman or American eagle
Nice!
Just came home from Great America
Same
good for u
Did you have fun?
Yakub Jaber yep :)
Fucking hurts
Thanks for the great video! My favorite part of The Demon is just after it crests the top of the lift hill. If you’re in the front you just creep over, but from the middle back you really zip over the crest. I also love the sound of the wheels as it turns the corner toward the drop. There is a great moment when the track levels out just before you go over. Again, the front seat is ok, but from the middle back the drop is pretty good.
I remember riding this back in the 70s when it was TURN OF THE CENTURY. The two bunny hills were sooo much better than the loops. They gave tremendous airtime!
Me: praying Mom:best day ever
Relatable
Blab Xhg then I’m “mom”
There’s something cool about classic arrow steel coasters.
Finally! I knew it would come! Thank you James C!
I love this ride! I’m going to Six Flags Great America on June 20th 2018! A little bit of advice for this ride is that if you push back on the handles and try to keep your head back as much as you can then you won’t get headaches or brain damage😂
I spent the summer of 1989 working as a ride operator when it was Six Flags Great America. Had to wear orange knickers, suspenders, and a bow tie. The last seats station was the best, for some reason it generated the most loose change. Morning challenge was to successfully eat breakfast on the test rides. Good stuff.
Rode this about 20 years ago and loved it. Nevermind the headache, now I would probably have a stroke.
I went on the backseat when i came back i felt like my brain had hatched a bunch of baby monsters named demon
On.the.back.car.which.I.rode.you.could.hear.it.rattle.quite.a.bit
Such a fun ride. Shame more people can't appreciate the classics like this.
People say it's rough but the only rough transitional area is going down into the first corkscrew.
Also this park actually cares to keep the special effects going unlike the one at CGA.
It's also cool as to how many people choose to re-ride and scream and laugh doing so,
taking advantage of a short/no line and/or classic fun instead of 1hr+ waits for overrated B&M's (X-Flight, Raging Bull namely).
Agree with everything except for Raging Bull and X-Flight being overrated. The park's coaster lineup is amazing and all the rides are great!
this ride killed my head 😷😷😤😤😤🤕🤕
Bro i got whiplash and couldn't breate for 5 secs i thought i was paralyzed
Put head back
You hit your head so freaking much on this one that you feel like you had way too much alcohol last night
Rode this in 1980 on opening day. It was amazing! I did love The Turn of the Century, but this just upped it. Still can't get that damn Demon song out of my head!
Good POV again! I kinda like it a little because of its theming.
Kudos to you for the video being that smooth. You have to ride this one defensively in order not to get hurt. That was the case in the late 90s when my friend told me to keep my head back against the seat. I'm surprised it's still running.
I’m amazed it’s still running fairly well despite Arrow Dynamics (it’s manufacturer) is no longer in business)
It’s been in the park since it opened in 1976.
As long as you make sure to brace yourself at that corkscrew, this ride is great. I remember going on it seven times back to back with one of my friends at some point.
The recording makes it look so smooth😂
This was my first big rollercoaster and I went on it 4 times that day...if you don't want to hurt your head, try keeping ur head on the side of the seat where you normally hit it, keep it there when you go through that twisting part
I still love the giant rock that you go into before the corkscrews
I loved this ride when I was little but then I hit my head everywhere and this year (2018) I'm not going it hurts 😧
Wizard, Demon, Eagle, right when the park opened! Anyone else run to the first coaster?
I went on this ride it is so much fun and a total classic!
Is this where Ricky realized he loved Nini? 😭
Clarissa Villarosa glad i’m not the only one that checked 😂
Clarissa Villarosa that's why i'm here haha
Clarissa Villarosa ahhhh I’m not the only one here because of it hahaha
No wonder Ricky threw up ahaha
That tunnel looks pretty awesome!
Hi
The good old sound of an old arrow coaster lift is so classic
I love this roller coaster! I rode it the first time I went to Great America and I was screaming my head off. It's a lot scarier in person. (for me)
Hey I went to six flags great America today and I went on this ride 5 times and it's not even that bad!
Apparently this was my mom’s favorite ride when she was younger. She wanted to take me on it, but it was closed the day we went. We’ll get it next time tho!!
this was actually pretty smooth for an Arrow Looper
I can’t wait to ride this again since last time I closed my eyes the whole ride!
Almost 30 years ago, this was my first coaster!
The ride is awesome it just hurts on the loops if your head is like it is when you pass out on those launch rides
gotta love arrow dynamics ❤️
I remember from back when there was the Turn Of the Century at Old Chicago, then came the Demon also a great ride as well.
Wow this is still out there? It used to be in california at great america back in 1989-1991 era. They had other rides there called the grizley wooden roller coaster, the edge drop thrill ride to name a few. So fun.
About 8 years ago I rode this and this was my first real coaster and now I still get memories of the first time
This was my first looped coaster ❤️
I LOVE DEMON SO MUCHHHH
This is my favorite ride I remember when I rode everything so I kept riding this for the rest of day
This is my favorite ride but hitting your head on this ride hits different😂
I love this one
People talk about how rough the rattle is for your head but that corkscrew is killer on your chest.
Ears and head destroyed from this ride
Best ride ever!! So fun and amazing
This was my first ever roller coaster, first ride was when I was 5!!! Still love it to this day
I love this so much like omg
Awesome
Just came home from Six Flags, Gurnee IL. I went on this ride and I didn’t hit my head🤣 but I see everyone in the comments saying they did🤣
first one to like :) bomb coaster love yr vids keep up the new videos!!
I love this coaster but the corkscrews jerk my head around. Love it still
If you put your head forward on this ride, the experience in 50x better. That change alone made me appreciate this coasters layout, although not that strong, much more than I previously did.
I went to the same roller coster when I was just 8 years old and I was like this is so AWESOME!!!!!😃😃😃😍😮😮😎😎😇😇😇😆😆😋😈🐉🎢🎡🎢🎢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎠🎠😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
You are braver than me and I'm 12
+TommyLz be quite ok just leave me a lone
me too but i was a tween
Cool ride
i got on this last year and I was so scared to get on but when I got on it wasn’t even scary . It’s rlly fun , I recommend everyone get on this
I remember when this coaster was named Turn of the Century. Then after a few years they added the two vertical loops and the lighted tunnel and it's The Demon.
When the ride was called "Turn of the century" it only had the corkscrew, it was also painted red white and blue. The corkscrew portion of the ride is very rough, It's a flaw due to that monster cave you go thru. there is about 5 feet of track as you go thru that mouth where the track is banked, but doesn't transition smoothly into the corkscrew, and it will cause your head to bang against the headrest. Do not wear big ear rings on this ride.
My friend and I were in the first car. So fun!
For a while, I remember this one used to break down like no other! I swore everytime I went it was stuck upside down on the second loop. I haven’t noticed it stuck at all lately. Anyone else have memories of it breaking down?
I get that this is a classic that stood with shockwave, and Iron wolf but I think it’s time this ride meets the six flags graveyard. They could easily fit another sand up or a floor less b&m
My favorite ride amazing!!!
I love this ride
This was my first roller coaster ride
the first time i went on this i was wearing a spiky headband.... owwwwww
I hurt my head while watching this.
Summer of 1980 my first ride on the demon when I was 10. Got a Demon t-shirt too. My fave ride there. Most nauseating? Orlean's Orbit and Cliffhanger
This ride was so fun, but man did my head hurt after. My bf and I don’t like to ride rides as much because we’re afraid of heights and it looked like a baby compared to the other ones we rode before, but when we got to the top we were like oh damn this is taller than I expected it to be lol. Just know your head is gonna hurt so bad after
I love this one I went on three times yesterday at the same location
My head hurts so bad after this one
on the drop on this one i like literally cane out of my seat lol
The ONE roller coaster that my sister still tries to get me to get on. And every time I tell her no
#TheDemon
It’s not scary or dangerous.....why not...is it because of it being a little rough?
Isn’t this that coaster that got stuck upside down with all those people on it once-took them a while to get them off.
I think I was on the ride with u ngl cuz that’s mah fav ride. Lol
I was on that ride yesterday
When I went to ga the first time this was my first ride and my head was hurting bad
I saw x flight in the background i love that ride
I hit my head so many times
Do they have the demon ride in six flags over Atlanta
As short as this ride is it's really fun
I remember riding this when it first came out and they sprayed water on your face. It was one of the first coasters that went upside down more than two times. My mom used to take out her earrings because she was short and her head bangs on the restraints and actually went into her head. She loved coasters but hated the restraints. Man that line was long! we went often and so as they would get a coaster new in the park we would go. She used to save her lunch money just to go ride the wooden roller coaster one time. (She grew up in Indianapolis and somewhere was an amusement park. Oh I miss this park! We moved in 1982 to North Carolina and I would like to go back just one more time and take my mom's ashes that I have in a necklace and ride the ole Demon!!!!
Whenever I don’t want to wait in a long line I just ride this, even though I literally get a concussion
So much fun favorite by far its si fun and amazing never take it down
This was my favorite ride at six flags
Ike I always go on this ride
This is the first ride ive been to
alyssa abiol same
corkscrew literally gives you a concussion
