There's never a line for the Demon so we had to take it for a ride.

Unlike the Whizzer the slightly less old Demon has not aged well.  The entrance to the corkscrew was extremely painful.  Imagine taking the blow from a hammer to your neck, or in Bond's case his head as that's how it felt.

The Demon never used to be that rough but after that ride Bond and I have decided that we've had our final ride on it.  Arrow looping coasters like The Demon don't age gracefully (or more importantly smoothly) so we're going to pass on that abuse and go ride something fun and less painful.

So if you want to have a pain-free ride just remember about The Demon "not this".
