In September 1992, Wonderland Sydney introduced a new steel coaster called The Demon.[1][2] The ride had originally operated in 1988 as Titan at World Expo Park in Brisbane, Australia.[3] The ride operated until the park's closure in April 2004,[1][2] where it was sold to Alabama Adventure in Bessemer, Alabama and now operates as Zoomerang.[4]
The ride starts with the train being pulled backwards up the first lift via a cable. At the top it is released where it then passes through the station at 75 kilometres per hour (47 mph).[1][2] It goes through three inversions then goes up a second chain lift. The train is released and travels the course in reverse.[5]
The train was built by Arrow Dynamics[1] and features 7 cars, seating 4 per car (28 total).[2] The train and track were repainted before it was installed in 1992. The train was painted bright red and the remaining ride painted black. It was repainted again in 2000 prior to the park's 15th Anniversary. A new bat logo was airbrushed onto the front of the train and a linked chain airbrushed onto the side of each car.
