freaks76 3980 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you didn't know any better, it would be hard to even know what you was looking at. Looks like a big pile of scrap metal to me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh- it just looks like one of Hedda Harper's hats for mourning. I'm placing bets that it will come back all redux and lighty. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Maybe they will find a way to adapt it to load all of the seats at the same time too! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondback2112 105 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 While I was at Cedar Point last week I believe I saw their version of the Monster disassembled also. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freaks76 3980 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Huh, they must've closed it very recently. It was running when I was up there Memorial day. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldiesmann 14431 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's been closed since mid-May actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freaks76 3980 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 ^Sorry I wasn't that specific, I was talking about the one at Cedar Point. My bad. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsus 3246 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Cedar Point's Monster seemed operational on June 5th during CoasterMania! At a minimum, it was not in any state of disassembly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrsTheBeast 10 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Cedar Point's Monster seemed operational on June 5th during CoasterMania! At a minimum, it was not in any state of disassembly. Not sure what time of day you saw it but when we were leaving after the night time ERT around midnight there were some ride mechanics removing a rather large piece from the central assembly. When we went by the next day the cover that they had taken off to remove the piece was still missing.. and no signs of it running any time that day (the 6th) 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrsTheBeast 10 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Welcome to KIC! Thanks Terpy! More like a welcome back though. I used to be a member years ago, you and I would chat now and then too.

DontWantToWait42mar0 3148 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm hoping Monster gets ripped out and replaced with a coaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver2005 25335 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 ^And what, pray tell, coaster would even fit there? You can't be serious. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westcoaster 1957 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Flats dark rides needed to compliment coasters. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aandjgoods 368 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm currently on the Eiffel Tower and observing them reatatch 3 arms to the base of the ride 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magenta Lizard 18782 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'd been seeing signs they were doing something the past couple times at the park, but nothing distinctive enough to bother posting about (like a little forklift sitting inside the fences, a construction hat and tools left sitting on the center section, etc). I guess they do the work mostly in the hours the park is closed because I never saw any actual people. I'm so glad they're putting it back together now! I even had a dream earlier today when I took a nap that I saw it running with new LED lighting, although I know that hasn't happened (yet?). 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanna 3729 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 And here I thought it was being redone to be all shiny and chrome and Valhalla. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thrill_Biscuit 17185 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I saw the nice, shiny welding sparks from up on the Eiffel Tower yesterday. It was good to see all the arms back on. I'm feeling a quick return to Monster goodness soon! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magenta Lizard 18782 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 They were moving the arms some when I first saw them but locked the control box and walked away before I could get my phone out. Soon.... Edit: some cars are on. I bet it will be open by this weekend 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malem 19847 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Posts were lost, but the ride is back open as of Saturday. Some pictures that were posted on June 17 by Bansheeback: Some pictures from today. People were working on the motor. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Obvious 22 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 When I went on Monday the 22 it was operating with a maintenance guy sitting on the right side exit watching it with a bag of tools. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
