    I still love this ride despite the roughness of it. The theming and theatrical effects are perfect. This music just makes me feel nostalgic for a time I was never alive.
    This song makes me think that this demon lurks in the dark, yet he could also transform into a more humanoid look, suave suit and tie, and ask to dance with you.

    I loved working at this place. I ran the hot shop which sold mugs of root beer for 5C, I was there bartender and I could send a mug of soda from where I pour the contents and it would come sliding down the bar and stop with the handle facing you. I also remember the manager of the different departments we all worked at would come up to us when we were about to punch out and say, "thanks for coming in today, You did a great job." This compliment made me want to come back the next day. I don't think they have the HOP SHOP there any more. Sir Charlie Brown

    I wish someone had the other audio they would play with the new reporters tracking attacks and such by "The Demon" around the track and such. I recall this would be played for a bit and then this awesome song would roll. Last time I was in line this year, I yelled at the ride operator and made her turn this up.

    Why do the arrows get so much hate? Demon is one of the smoother arrows, my god. Yes, the corkscrews give insane headbanging but it doesn't bother me. This was only my third looping coaster, like seriously. Just lean to the right on the corkscrews and you don't get as much headbanging.
