Demon Drop might still be with us

In addition to Skyhawk, it looks as though the Demon Drop will be running as well when the park opens to the public in May.

"The ride has been up for sale, however, a buyer has not been found," Edwards said.

A similar ride with a different name at sister park Geauga Lake was for sale, but is being taken down, he said.

Some of the parts from Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall are being given to Cedar Point.

I know some people on this site would be very happy to see it still there in May. Personally I never rode it so maybe I will get another chants this year.

I have to say something... mite, chants?

Maybe they should give Demon Drop a flea-dip before the season starts.

Second ride down on Zone 1 was my big hint on what CP plans to do. :)

How dare all of you disrespect my baby?

Anyone who has not been on Demon must ride this summer... the one and only Demon Drop as it now seems.

And you would think that because CFD has crew members listed for DD means it will be there.... but ANYTHING can happen.

Hey, you never know how long it will stay and since more parts are coming it might be around for a couple more years.

funny how cp said they wanted to sell it to make room for future expansion, it really doesnt take up any space at all, except 130 feet up.....

Lay off Fastball he makes spelling errors. I'm sure you still know what he means.

Seriously though, chants.

Ok ok, so it's way off. Chance(as well as might) is what he meant.
Back on topic please!

DD takes up more room than you think. The ride it's self is 66 feet in length (actually longer, that's the length of the brakes), but you also have to consider all the queues, grass, trees, electrical, sidewalks, and the large break area and parking lot in the immediate vacinity. I think it's safe to say a rollercoaster won't go there without some major remodeling, but they could easily build a another flat ride, shop, or restaurant.

There seems to be some major overhauls in store for the park. Personally, I love Demon and would hate to see it go. But it is now a one of a kind... and CP can't help boasting the One and Only's. ;)

I have no problem with Demon Drop staying but I am thankfull that Hyde's is gone.

I've never been on Hyde's, but from what I've heard from the Hyde crew, and CP maintenance... I'm glad too. lol

That and it means that my baby gets parts. ;)

They can't get rid of Demon Drop! :.-(

-DJ, Demon Drop '03

DD was my last ride of the 2005 season and I am thrilled to see it have another year. DD is a classic ride that I'm not able to let go just yet. I'll be riding the ride every chance I get this summer.
