I was at dorney last Sunday for the first time ever, and I ride this four times. I hadn’t seen a first generation freefall ride since 2007, and I honestly thought I might never get to ride one again. I’m glad I got a chance to go on this while it’s still in operation. It’s the only one left in the U.S.
Intamin should make an updated version of this. I'm a big fan of the concept and most of the issues stem from it just being really old. They could make a really sick one of these at like 200 ft.
I absolutely agree. This is so different from a normal drop tower of rising and falling of any kind, or the air powered ones that bounce up and down. It's almost like a roller coaster and free-fall in one. I rode the one at Six Flags Great Adventure up until it was removed. Still think it was one of the most terrifying rides with the way it was designed, being pushed out like that at the top, and even the lift is creepy. I think it'd be worth giving it a shot to see if anyone would want to buy a brand new version if they could make them bigger to fit the general public and enthusiasts needs, despite being 131 feet being more than enough to get fear induced on this thing tbh.
I think that's the ride to get the best view of everything. At 1:45 you can see so many rides! You can see Dominator, Possessed, Steel Force, Stinger, the Ferris Wheel, and probably a little more.
Wish there were more of these. I loved the one at Six Flags GA. It's something totally different, just because it's a "freefall" ride idk why parks treated these to be junk or outdated. When things like much taller straight no-track towers or the S&S space shot (latter is actually my fav the big ones, not the point), they just continued to dissapear. I hope i can get to Dorney to ride this, hopefully they will keep it for many years to come.
Michelle nicolet, the power tower thing is dominator, red one is steel force, and wicked twister like one is possessed. "Dorsey Park" is located in Allentown PA and is owned by cedar fair, who also own cedar point. That's why the rides seem so similar. Also, demon drop at former was originally located at CP but was moved to dorney a few years back
I miss that ride 🥰 I felt the butterflies in my chest when it hit the top and slid forward. They're working on a new idea for the locals where the twister used to be. I hope it's a remake
Is that magnum in the back round and wicked twister or is this Downey park?????? I’m confused title says dorney park but it looks like cedar point in the back round
Deathbyillusion I have 3 vids on my channel. Just search the magnifying glass icon on my channel for Demon Drop. I actually did shoot it from the main lot for part of it : I should've said that : I shot it with a $1k SONY TRV-30 MiniDV back in the day. An awesome camera with great sound. The tape mechanism literally wore out I used it so much for 4 channels and other stuff. It would have cost $500 to repair. When youtube switched their video to HD the video lost something in the translation and doens't look as good as it used to for whatever reason. Still worth checking out. My friends were one of the last riders.
Can i just say how amazing you're videos are +Deathbyillusion ! i admire all the obvious hard work you do on these videos thank you for uploading the great content and keep it up! :)
im not sure about dorney park because i never even heard of it but i do know for a fact that was at cedar point not "Dorney Park"... that red coaster is Magnum XL 200, the Power Tower and if you look close enough when they go to the top of the Demon Drop you can see the Wicked Twister. unless... that really is "dorney park" and they are just trying to be cedar point and take their thunder.. Americas Roller Coast! Ride On! lol(:
I rode Mr. Hyde's nasty fall at geauga lake, and didn't like it. The shoulder harness hutted my neck for weeks. I don't mess with Demon Drop when I was at Dorney Park, I stick with Possessed coaster less painful and Dominator is better, as well as Power Tower. Drop Tower at Kings Island is the best.
Scott West Long hair got caught as the ride fell down, I believe my parents were there that day. Pulled her scalp right off, either she died there or on the way to the hospital.
I got on this ride a few days ago, and I felt I was turning into a demon. The drop Is no joke I tried to scream but it came out not so much of a scream....
Ik this was posted so long ago but I just had to say...I went on it today with my mom and my sister. (I don't know how she was so brave to go up there when shes afraid of hight's..) And this is my mom's account. Anyways that not the point..Like I was gonna say is when we fell It felt like we were in the air for a couple of seconds. And for me...I only screamed once but it wasn't long. It was like a little scream :/ (Idk what else to say..) from my POV I just closed my eyes once we were all the way up..and when we fell It felt like my body was forcing my skin to go down... Well I'm gonna stop here! Bye Bye~ Edit: Also I didn't close my eyes for the hole hide I opened them :3 It felt like a minute while dropping down.
I rode DEMON DROP in the late 1980s. At the end of my ride, the DEMON did NOT stop! Me and my fellow riders were shot over the entrance gate and into the parking lot! We were denied re- entry because we failed to have our HANDS STAMPED before leaving the park! WOW!

I remember going on this when it was at cedar point
Is this the one from Cedar Point? I thought this one was from Geaugua Lake
@@kc8hnz The one from Geauga Lake was dismantled and used for parts for this ride.

TheEpic22 A roller coaster one would be a sick fantasy
I had no idea this classic has left Cedar Point!!!
You never scream, do you get scared? I would be freaking out lol
No I don't and if something is really intense it takes my breath away anyways so I wouldn't be able to screen haha.
Same I would be screaming!
I think that's the ride to get the best view of everything. At 1:45 you can see so many rides! You can see Dominator, Possessed, Steel Force, Stinger, the Ferris Wheel, and probably a little more.
yeah! but I haven't been on those roller coasters because I'm scared of them and I'm 10!
EnderfaceYT ! Same my first roller coaster was mine ride never doing that again
I don't understand how you stay so calm lmao
Facts
It takes a lot to scare me and really intense rides take my breath away.
Deathbyillusion Next time put a penny on your leg & watch it when you fall.
+turtle gaming well its worse then that my phone has gotten so bad that it just shuts off at like 5 percent sometimes it sucks lol.
+Deathbyillusion SAME😭😭😭
I really wanna touch the "do not touch" sign :D
Haha
lol
LOL
what would happen if we do touch it
It would burn your hand because of how hot the rails are
This still can't beat the drop of doom at six flags great adventure
Yeah but this is also about 30 or so old. One of the first drop rides every built. Orginally at Cedar Point.
Well are you going couse i dont ser your there
hm, detonator at thorpe park is pretty good, because it experiences more force due to the car being forced down by pistons
I found this more scary than drop of doom. drop of doom was whatever. wasn't that scary to be honest
Or kingda ka

it was cedar points but they had power tower so they had 3 kinds of drop towers
this ride scares me too much. i find this ride scarier then zumanjaro drop of doom for some reason
Mac Daddy I went on it alone and as soon as I went down I got lifted up my seat but the safety belt stopped it thankfully

I have season passes for there. We go there all the time
Missy Mazzante yeah same (we used to)
Does Platinum let you visit other CF parks? Is Platinum the same cost across all parks?
sameeee
Missy Mazzante a lot of people do
Is that the same one that use to be at Geauga lake in Ohio
I miss that ride 🥰 I felt the butterflies in my chest when it hit the top and slid forward. They're working on a new idea for the locals where the twister used to be. I hope it's a remake
I loved this ride much more than the modern drop towers it has a better free fall to it
This was called Free Fall at Six Flags Great Adventure. But they got rid of it many years ago! It was fun!
My favorite drop tower right here folks.
Seems so old fashion now. I remember this as a kid 30 years ago and being scarred
I rode this today and didn't have no regrets. It's SO FUN
I remember when this was at Cedar Point.
That manspread on the second go-round made me nuts. Poor dude next to you had no room! I'd have been pissed.
It looks like nothing on camera but it's really fun when you really go on it
I could feel the momentum in my body 😀
I wish it was still at cedar point
Randy West Rode Demon 👿😈 Drop EST. 1983-2009 at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio USA 🇺🇲.
Is that magnum in the back round and wicked twister or is this Downey park?????? I’m confused title says dorney park but it looks like cedar point in the back round
I love that ride when it was at six flags over texas in Arlington but they took it down to put Tony hawk big spin
Cool! I have videos of when it was at Cedar Point. I miss hearing the sounds in 13E of the Main Lot.
That would be cool to see!
Deathbyillusion I have 3 vids on my channel. Just search the magnifying glass icon on my channel for Demon Drop. I actually did shoot it from the main lot for part of it : I should've said that : I shot it with a $1k SONY TRV-30 MiniDV back in the day. An awesome camera with great sound.

If you have one, you should put a video up of Steel Force from Dorney Park
I did and it's up :-)
Do you stand or sit
can someone do a video about how this type of ride works?
This looks like my kind of ride!! If I could go on it!
I was 4 when this thing closed...
What ride manufacturer made this? This is cool.
Old school Intamin.
I love these rides if you look at senery the drop gets u everytime
the thing that goes in front of you is sort of loose so it literally feels like ur gonna fall off it may not look scary but trust me it is
Can i just say how amazing you're videos are +Deathbyillusion ! i admire all the obvious hard work you do on these videos thank you for uploading the great content and keep it up! :)
what is the g force?
Awl clayr an outta here, pleys enjoy ur ride awn demun drawp
How do you not scream? I would lose my voice from screaming so much _if_ you got me to go on the ride
I really wanted to go on this ride when I came here last year but we couldn't because we had to leave :(
Ghost- Hunter ?I'm cønfused.
There was a similar one at Six Flags Magic Mountain way long ago, I forgot the name though:P
Wasn't the name of it Freefall?
Wasn't it called freefall, or was that only the one at SFGAdv?
Tommy Carr I believe the SFGAdv version was called "Stuntman's Freefall."
Yeah, i believe ''Free Fall'' was the original name.
There was one at cedar point too I believe and I think it's this one not sure since I live in the uk
you should be able to ride something like this but standing up. Make it simulate an elevator dropping.
im not sure about dorney park because i never even heard of it but i do know for a fact that was at cedar point not "Dorney Park"... that red coaster is Magnum XL 200, the Power Tower and if you look close enough when they go to the top of the Demon Drop you can see the Wicked Twister. unless... that really is "dorney park" and they are just trying to be cedar point and take their thunder.. Americas Roller Coast! Ride On! lol(:
dorney park is in Allentown Pennsylvania
Cedar Point took Demon Drop down at the end of 2009 and sent it to Dorney.
love this place going in may on the 20th and in summer
Was that scary deathbyillusion
Why is the no actual people on the ride?
How do u not scream?
I went on that ride and it felt like I was falling and I do t really scream on rides but that one got me to 😂
This ride looks like a package going through an assembly line.
This ride is rough I got on it before
I'm so excited to got this week
mabel forever we have season passes for there. We go there all the time. It's fun
I REALLT WANNA RIDE THIS BUT THEY TOOK IT DOWN, LIKE BRING IT BACK CEDAR FAIR!
Wait, it’s gone? It was placed in Dorney Park the last I heard
I have to go to STUPID PENNSYLVANIA TO RIDE IT!
Ey it aint stupid ☹️
Anime Psyclone he is probably saying that they removed it from Cedar Point
I can't believe that they took this ride out
They didn't.
UrAvgGamer they did.
No, they didn't. How long ago?
Oh, wait. Maybe from Cedar Point, but this is Dorney.
Cedar Point and Dorney Park are owned by the same exact people
I went on this when I was little and it was at geauga lake and it was called the lemon drop it was fun
Like no screams, no smiles.... No laughs, no chatter...
I would go on this ride😎😝🙌🙋 love it
went on this ride amazing I loved it
I went on this ride and I started crying bc I was so nervous
Violet Winsborrow I would too I cried on gatekeeper at cedar point
Dang, I miss your old name.
Love this ride!
*R.I.P.*
Would this count as a credit?
Dedrick0429 I would. It completes a circuit and falls by gravity so counts as a coaster to me
This didn’t seem high to me, not until I got to the top
I rode Mr. Hyde's nasty fall at geauga lake, and didn't like it. The shoulder harness hutted my neck for weeks. I don't mess with Demon Drop when I was at Dorney Park, I stick with Possessed coaster less painful and Dominator is better, as well as Power Tower. Drop Tower at Kings Island is the best.
This has to be the same one that the girl got scalp on, they just moved it to this park from Cederpoint.
And that park is near me! I have no clue on a girl being scalped on it... How'd that happen?
Scott West
Long hair got caught as the ride fell down, I believe my parents were there that day. Pulled her scalp right off, either she died there or on the way to the hospital.
Oh wow... That is scary for me especially as my hair is over 2 feet...
Scott West
Tie your hair down, or wrap it braid it whatever you need to do, that ride doesn't need another soul....
my hair is always tired alot
I go to Dorney every summer, but I'm too afraid to go on this ride.
It's so scary it feels like your flying out of your seat
tip ride the other drop tower first
Go to the window seat it's not very scary once you go on
I'm deathly afraid of heights, but I rode it at least 3 times, yes when you go up you will get nervous, but when you drop, it's fun
its fun
it's like a free fall in my opinion
this ride is so fun
Randy Rode Demon Drop at Cedar Point.
+Randy West lol i rode it as well
I got on this ride a few days ago, and I felt I was turning into a demon. The drop Is no joke I tried to scream but it came out not so much of a scream....
The airtime amazed me...
I would love to go on this with my friends
Is Hannah Montana operating it?? BAHAHAHAHA 😂
Lol oh Miley.
anyone else agree the cars looked better when Cedar Point had it?
Yes, just wonder how many different places you can find former Cedar Point logos, e.g. by Cedar Downs...
I haven't been there
When I was on that I screamed and cursed the whole way down my friend said to my mom that I was about to cry😭😭😭😭
Rename this ride scorpion death drop
My stomach was in my mouth when I rode this
That is not a roller coaster a roller coasters is when you fall 25 feet fall now that is a roller coaster and up to 55 mph
I remember riding this when I was 5 or 6
I felt like I was going to fall today when I rode it
i heard a gopro 2:14 to 2:30
I went on this and the guy checking the seats was so funny
Potato Gaming i think i know who your talking about
The noise
What an uncomfortable ride
I heard someone say a Ring Pop and I had a Ring Pop
I'm going on this ride
i went on this ride and there was alot of people but it was worth it
Ik this was posted so long ago but I just had to say...I went on it today with my mom and my sister. (I don't know how she was so brave to go up there when shes afraid of hight's..) And this is my mom's account. Anyways that not the point..Like I was gonna say is when we fell It felt like we were in the air for a couple of seconds.

Well I'm gonna stop here! Bye Bye~
Edit: Also I didn't close my eyes for the hole hide I opened them :3 It felt like a minute while dropping down.
I would scream my head off
To me this counter the roller coaster. It uses gravity and has wheels.
this seems so 1980s
u would get burned if u touch the do not touch. sign
Ashley Marie will you Mary me
trying to get burned twice antonio?
I do to
I did this and did not scream 😎
Yass
No way hose
I rode DEMON DROP in the late 1980s.
At the end of my ride, the DEMON did
NOT stop! Me and my fellow riders
were shot over the entrance gate and
into the parking lot! We were denied re-
entry because we failed to have our
HANDS STAMPED before leaving the
park! WOW!
I tjought I was falling to death
