DJSkyFoxx Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 As of today at 0824HRS, Monster appears to still be in pieces surrounded by the blue construction fence. I'd say refurbishment, but it really would be nice to receive an official statement from the park itself seeing as pass holder/park opening are happening in a matter of days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion-XL200 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 What's interesting is that it looks as if the construction fence is no longer in place. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losantiville Mining Co. Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 That description is remarkably blunt! I thought it was another fabrication when I first saw it, but now I can see it's real. Very interesting to see this considering the lack of other communications from the park.

CoasterJack Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I for one am glad and very appreciative of the clarification. Even something as simple as two sentences, they stated why the delay of assembly and I'm glad the park was able to help remedy the rumor situation. Also shows that the park is willing to go the extra mile to keep some of these historic rides going, even if it takes a little longer than they anticipated. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took down the blue fence for a wood fence it appears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The wood fence looks much nicer IMO. Definitely better than the chain link fences I've seen surrounding the Nighthawk plot at Carowinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Glad to see they are making the effort to keep this classic running strong for awhile. They could have easily just decided to do away with it and scrap it, but I am really glad they have made the decision to invest in keeping it around. Having a mix of classic and modern rides just gives a park a sense of respect for the past and appreciation for the tech we have today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoan Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Honestly the monster is probably one of my favorite flat rides, along with surf dog, I'll be sad if the monster has to go. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
