Hey Everyone!
I'm wanting to create a demo page on a site of mine that has a few different Joomla Templates to showcase....
Is there anyone here that would be able to point me in the direction on the easiest way to set this up like how the demo bar is on the Rocket Theme Demo Site?
Warmest Regards,
Chris

I don't know exactly how Andy does it, but I would guess that he has one version of Joomla running with each template installed into a sub-folder/sub-domain/sub-directory. Then the drop-down list is basically the wrapper function which displays each template demo.
You could create a simple html page with a drop-down menu as links to live sites.
-or-
You could do it as stated above by creating a simple menu in Joomla (vertical, drop-down or other) linking to the wrapper function. All the links would display all the addresses. - "Everyone has to get knocked-down every once-in-a-while, otherwise you'll never learn how to get-back-up!

The demo site is just separate installs of joomla, with a little html frame around them, so you can pick an 'install' from the dropdown box and it reloads the lower frame. The source is available in the top navigation frame. it's not rocket science and about 90% of the other joomla clubs have already copied it
