Steamin’ Demon

Innovative from the moment it debuted and still a fan favorite today, the Steamin’ Demon is a pioneering steel looping coaster at Six Flags Great Escape. As one of the park’s early modern thrill machines, it set the tone for fast, compact, high-energy coaster design.

This fiery orange track packs 1,565 feet of intense action into a tight, powerful layout where every moment counts. It all begins with an 85-foot climb up the lift hill—just enough time to brace yourself before the ride takes over completely. From there, you’re launched into a fast-paced rush that demands your full attention from start to finish.

A 65-foot drop sends you racing into a towering vertical loop, followed immediately by a double corkscrew that flips you through the air in quick succession. The transitions are smooth but relentless, keeping you inverted, twisted, and moving at high speed before you know what hit you. In just about a minute, you’ve looped, spun, and soared your way back to the station—completely satisfied and ready for another ride.
