History:
Built for Cedar Point's 1983 season, it was one of the first Intamin first generation freefalls. While several were built, this is last remaining ride of this type in operation. While Cedar Point had this ride up for sale since 2005, it never sold, and Cedar Fair decided to move the ride to Knott's for the 2010 season, after entertaining 7.8 million riders.

I don't like Intamin first generation freefall rides that much.

I love these rides, they are the only ride that makes me nervous to go on.

I liked this ride alot. It combines over a hundred feet of freefall, and G forces while you are leveling out at the bottom. Nice combination. Also it gives a good view of the parking lot.

I LOVE this ride SO much. Sure its only like 3-4 seconds long but it is just one of the simple pleasures in life w/ short lines and weightlessness

A fun ride. Its older so its not as thrilling as a lot of CP's rides but it usually has a 10 t0 15 minute ride.

If you see a short lines for it *which you usually will* then try it. A classic free fall ride.

Demon Drop is alright. The drop isn't anything amazing but I did like how it put you in a laying position at the end. Power Tower blows it away.

This is my second-favorite non-coaster ride at the park, only to Skyhawk. Yes, I like it better than Power Tower. Yes, I like it better than MaxAir. It's sad that they're selling it though...
