I got stuck on a maintenance stop and the lights came on . in the back there were coxes and maintenance requirement not much bot around a third of the back of the building. If it were my call I would remove Demon, replace it with a euro fighter with 4-5 inversions remove the nightmare building. Build a new building with a new dark ride. The dark ride would be 2 levels with the bottom back section still used for maintenance for both the ride and the park. The park would get 2 meritable attraction and much needed storage ans maintenance space. |

nightmare's dimensions were 88' 7" x 144' 4". and as for demon, does anyone have any idea of when its contract is up? Edited by greatescapelover, Jun 29 2011, 02:20 PM.

That contract is like a mystery but its gotta have some kind of time limit... and if not then we are stuck with it for life cuz arrow coasters are very very low maintanace if maintained right and could survive a category 5 hurricane. maybe not literally, but they dont come down easy.. |

^Oldest as in... ? The area it sits on is a man made hill that was put together specifically for the coaster. I feel like they are probobly not getting rid of it any time soon or have any ideas of it, yeah it sucks but it does draw people and with the new (new to here) train it got in like 2009 was it and the somewhat recent painting it's not going anywhere anytime soon |

the demon hurts, but It was my very first roller coaster. I would have mixed feeling if it were removed. I am in favor of a new coaster, especially up front, but TGE is not TGE I grew up with if it was gone. But on another note, I do like the Sasquatch better then the rainbow, lol. |

Steamin demon isn't going anywhere anytime soon unless it just collapes randomly one day. The bobsled is gonna be the next coaster to go I bet.. Boomerang and Comet wouldn't make any sense to remove, Canyon Blaster either |

re is no tract to how long anything will stay in the park. The problem is I doubt SFI will but much effort into the park. Unless the attraction is something cheap like a flat or water slide it will most likely be a Relocated used Thrill ride or coaster. |
