Well, it's official- California's Great America has elevated their special offerings yet again with the introduction of Demon: Ignited, a special reinvention of their classic looping coaster for Halloween Haunt. Much like Disney, who has made a successful model off of holiday overlays, Great America has taken the opportunity to elevate The Demon for a limited engagement. While most of the ride takes place out of site from the midway, the park was kind enough to walk us back for a special look into the reinvention of this classic attraction.

So- first thing to know- there is fire.

I'm not talking about a little torch in the queue or something, I mean a full on fireball. You'll feel the heat as a fireball erupts just to the left of the train just before you dive into the Demon's cave.

Second thing to know- there's blood, and lots of it. 

Just like the park didn't hold back on the fire, they certainly didn't hold back on the blood. The Demon's waterfall has returned, but this time with some sinister red coloring.

The combination of the fire, lighting effects, and blood red water makes for a colorful, spooky ride through the Demon's wooded area.

The fog and lighting really elevate the atmosphere. Aside from maybe The Matterhorn, is there a better looking Arrow coaster out there?

I can't think of any.

The tunnel that immediately follows the double loops also got decked out with some eerie interior lighting.

A train whizzes through the Demon's cave, with a bloody waterfall just above the rider's heads. So spooky and awesome.

Another train flying through the corkscrews in the dark.

The Demon cave also features projection mapping, but it was hard to capture a picture that did it justice in the dark. 

But fire... did we mention fire? Yeah, it's pretty rad.

It's dark, it's spooky, it's bloody, it's fiery, it's The Demon: Re-Ignited.  Check it out during Haunt at California's Great America.
