Cedar Point amusement park is putting a 22-year-old free-fall ride up for sale.
The Demon Drop was built for $2.5 million in 1983. Riders on the Demon Drop fall 10 stories in less than three seconds.
Passengers board four-person cars that move horizontally to the top of the 131-foot-tall tower. The car ascends to the top of the tower in six seconds
A park spokesman said selling the ride will make room for new projects. If no buyers come forward, the park will keep the ride.
Cedar Point did not reveal the asking price.

Eric Scheske has ridden the Demon Drop. It's a wicked ride. He had no idea that it was 22 years old. Fourteen years of marriage and an obsolete amusement park ride that was cutting-edge when he rode it. He's feelin' old today.
