Opens with Marriott’s Great America
Arrow Dynamics looping coaster debuts as part of the park’s opening-day steel lineup.
Background
Demon is an Arrow Dynamics looping coaster from Marriott’s Great America opening era — twin vertical loops and a helix that still define Orleans Place’s steel skyline.
Later theming and tunnel updates refreshed the presentation without relocating the ride. It remains one of the park’s longest-running inversions experiences and a link to the 1970s looping coaster boom.
