Demon Drop

Tribute Page

With the announcement that the Demon Drop at Cedar Point has been put up for sale for $250,000 I have decided to make this page for those of you who can't make it up for one last trip. Enjoy :)

Status update as of July 2008 - Demon Drop is still for sale. Apparently the rumors that is sold last year were false. Eventualy the park may decide that Demon Drop is in the way of some future expansion plans and take it out regardless of wether or not it sells. So you better get your last rides in while you still have the chance. Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall at Geauga Lake in Aurora, OH was dismantled after the 2005 season and parts from it are being used to maintain Demon Drop.

According to Wikipedia, Demon Drop at Cedar Point, Torre do Terror at Beto Carrero World in Brazil, Unknown at Toshimaen in Japan and Unknown at Himeji Central Park in Japan are the only remaining Intamin first generation Freefall rides in operation.
