OK, I could have worded my question better.
There were two intended questions:
First:
Is Demon Drop the last Intamin 1st generation drop ride in North America?
Answered: Yes, Demon Drop is the last and only operating Intamin 1st generation drop ride in North America.
Second:
Does anybody know of more Intamin 1st generation drop rides currently operating anywhere in the world, in addition to the ones I've mentioned?
Partially answered:
1 is operating in South America, the park name was not mentioned.
Possibly less than the 3 mentioned are still operating in Japan. I know that Nagashima Spa Land had one, another was at Himeji Central Park, and I thought there was one was at Mitsui Greenland in Arao-shi. I may have even bumped into another one somewhere in Japan, but I can't recall where.
1 is operating in Italy at the Movieland Studios Park.
Does anyone know of any more Intamin 1st generation drop rides besides these?

Isn't this confirmed? The Cedar Point website confirmed it was moving to Knott's...

Huh?
Did Knott's change their mind?

I'm loling at Cedar Fair.
I did hear that Cedar Fair were annoyed with the early 'leaking' of the news about Demon Drop going to KBF, and the reaction it got (which pretty much consisted of 'didn't Six Flags have one and get ride of it?').
Thus Cedar Fair may very well have moved it somewhere where they feel it would be more 'appreciated', which seems like a very good idea really. Just something I read somewhere (can't remember where), but the story would fit.

It still doesn't make sense. Six Flags Great Adventure, which isn't too far away, also had a 1st generation freefall; Stuntmans Freefall.
Does Cedar Fair just not really care where they throw their rides?

Knott's didn't want CP's hand me down rubbish.
Or, at least that's what I heard.

I just don't get why they would put it in a park that already has a drop tower, which I'm fairly sure both Dorney and Knotts have. Why not throw it somewhere that doesn't have a lot of rides already, like Michigan's Adventure?
