That's the quality of the snapshot off of the FunCam.

Some new scans are available in the gallery. Thanks to Craig Meland for the contribution.

As usual, Dave, you are correct about the change to the blocking setup on the free falls.

Those are neat shots!

Update

Wow this is sad.

"Loooonnnng ago... and oh so far away, I fell in love with you..." ;)

I just got confermation on what is going to replace demon drop.

It's a "roll" type ride as seen here...

Looks pretty intense if you ask me.

^ i was rickrolled. :(

That's Rick Ashley dude.

Yes. But, if someone gets you to watch the video, they "rick rolled" you.

You can't have a 14 page thread that doesn't include a rick roll. :)

rick rolled for the third time this week...

Its sad to see the Demon Drop go! I like the video!

I know it is just a rumor, but according to screamscape(take that how you will) the demon drop may not be going to knotts berry farm after all. I guess there has been some kind of "backlash" from the public and the park about recieving a used drop ride that the park down the street just got rid of. Not to mention that knotts already has an awsome drop tower as it is.

But here is where it gets interesting...

I guess michigans adventure was the backup park to recieve the ride if the knotts deal failed. So will we see it at michigans adventure?

Remember, these are just rumors right now and there is no solid proof of this.

I also hear that kinzel was not too happy that the info leaked about dd leaving cedar point.

I'm calling BS. And a lot of it.

I wonder if it doesn't go to Knotts, where is it going? It would be nice if it could stay at CP and just be moved somewhere else in the park if they need the original spot for something else!

I would guess michigans adventure.

Whether it be at Mighigan's Adventure or Knott's, I'm just glad to see CP isn't scrapping the ride. Besides, it would probably recieve more ridership at Michigan's Adventure seeing that Knott's already has a drop tower.

As for moving DD somewhere else, where would they put it?

I can't remember if carowinds has a drop tower or not. But they are getting a new coaster this year, so I doubt they would add another ride in the same year.
