freaks76 Posted June 9, 2015 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

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
upstop Posted June 10, 2015 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
Diamondback2112 Posted June 10, 2015 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
freaks76 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Huh, they must've closed it very recently. It was running when I was up there Memorial day. 3 Quote
freaks76 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 ^Sorry I wasn't that specific, I was talking about the one at Cedar Point. My bad. 4 Quote
jsus Posted June 10, 2015 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
MrsTheBeast Posted June 10, 2015 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
PhantomTheater Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Cedar Point's was operating today (6/11). 1 Quote
TheCandyManCan Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Mechanics on ride currently, hydraulics seem to be back in place. Hopefully it will be up soon. 7 Quote
MrsTheBeast Posted June 13, 2015 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. I honestly for the life of me could not remember my username or which email I used haha. 4 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm hoping Monster gets ripped out and replaced with a coaster. Quote
silver2005 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 ^And what, pray tell, coaster would even fit there? You can't be serious. 7 Quote
westcoaster Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Flats dark rides needed to compliment coasters. 4 Quote
aandjgoods Posted June 14, 2015 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
Magenta Lizard Posted June 14, 2015 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
Tanna Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 And here I thought it was being redone to be all shiny and chrome and Valhalla. 2 Quote
upstop Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 All main support arms appeared to be attached when I left last night. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 15, 2015 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
Magenta Lizard Posted June 15, 2015 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
malem Posted June 24, 2015 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
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Monster is up and running again! You heard it here first...well...kinda. 2 Quote
Diamondback96 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Well, we did hear it here first. Just sometime between the 17th and the 24th. 5 Quote
Captain Obvious Posted June 25, 2015 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
