DropZone99 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I've heard the Demon Drop rumor so many times, but i was just thinking how awesome it would be to have it here. DD is one of my favorite thrill rides ever, and it is for sale isn't it? It could fit great in Coney Maul where Euro Bungie and the laser tag building is. Im not saying i think it's coming here, im just dreaming... =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 ^ Since we have DZ, DD really has no place at KI. Sure it gives somewhat of a different ride, but not enough to warrent a removal at CP/ rebuild at KI. But the real question is; since DD has been for sale for a couple years now, what is in store for that land it currently sits on? CP is notorious for planning WAY ahead (i.e. removal of Dodgems for TTD, removal of Aquarium arcade for WT, removal of swan boats & WWL for Maverick etc.). If the ride was not worth being open, they would have dismantled it by now since it appears it will not be sold. ... or I am just thinking too much at 2:41am.

blueangel04 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 there really is no room to put anything big where dd sits. i can see maybe a flat ride but as for anything big i dont think it would happen. they would have to take out games and gift shops which they wont do because those are money makers.

Browntggrr Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ^ Actually the area that DD is bigger than you would think, as is the rather large parking lot on that side of the peninsula as well. http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=3269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN1993 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 ^ Really? Why is that? Demon Drop is by far. the best Flat I've ever been on..... I just love that stomach dropping feeling that you don't get on most rides anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH13TEEN Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I would trade DropZone for Demon Drop...any time I would hate to see demon drop at Ki they are not safe in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You've never even been to Cedar Point............ Ride it First and then make your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiboy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ive been to Cedar Point 6 times this season and I havent ridden Power Tower . But Demon Drop is better than DZ in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Demon Drop really is amazing. I wish it was higher, but its a fantastic drop ride. And how is it unsafe? It's been operating very reliably for 24 years. I make it a point to ride it at least once every time I go. Usually twice, since its always a walk-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH13TEEN Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 yeah but someone said it like went past its brakes things and went in to it's e-stop brakes and they had to roll it back into it's little slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I would trade DropZone for Demon Drop...any time I would hate to see demon drop at Ki they are not safe in my opinion Why would you say that? Cedar Fair would not knowingly operate any ride that was unsafe, nor would any other park company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH13TEEN Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 i know Cedar Fair main priority safety why have all the other parks get rid of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Because they are starting to cost a tremendous amount of money to keep operating....reducing maintenance costs is a major priority these days at Six Flags in particular. The relatively lower ridership doesn't help matters either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOFirehawkFAN Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Demon Drop is the ONLY ride at Cedar Point that I still freak out on right before the drop, even millenium force or top thrill don't really do it for me, so yes it would be a dream come true if we got it at KI it would be even better if it was themed as amazingly as "Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall" at Geauga Lake. However its for sale because its too expensive to maintain, in fact Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall was torn down to be used for replacement parts for DD, so theres no way CF would ever move it to another park, it will stay at CP until someone buys it or it falls apart.

Demon Drop better than Drop Zone? Is the world coming to an end. I love Demon Drop but it is in no way, shape, or form better than Drop Zone. I am apalled t your comment.

The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I totally agree with FOFirehawkFAN. Demon Drop (and other first generation freefalls) is the only drop ride that still gets me, every time. That little bounce before the fall just gets me! There is a kiddie ride that repeats that bounce over and over and over and over. I have never been so anxious on anything else in my life! People at IAAPA were laughing themselves silly watching me!

Jasper Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Interpreter will you be attending IAPPA this year in Orlando? And i think the ride you are talking about is Frog Hopper. Am i correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 As to IAAPA, not sure yet. May go to Gibbtown instead...I have wanted to do that for many, many years. And yes, that was the Froghopper. It's amazing how many kiddie rides are more severe than most adult rides. High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels, any Kiddie Whip (unlike adult whips, most have NOT been slowed down..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
