I'm a nitpicker only when I see iffy track shapings.

Gerstlauer is one of the few companies that changes up their own shaping styles. It's something to be thankful for, not to nitpick about =P

^^ But by definition, if there was everything you liked from other parks also in a Florida park, it would be a clone.

Anyways, this ride looks pretty fun, if only I could afford to take a giant road trip

^^ Not that I hate Gerstlauer and their "WOT" loop. Junker versus Monster, they both will charm us! Cannibal and Karnan are much better in uniqueness, though.

In fairness to Deere when he says "one of these" I think its fair to assume he means an Infinity Coaster (with a squashed loop).

Monster is one of the best Gersts and might be creeping to my #1 as far 2016 watchlist. I'm about to hug this roller coaster like a mother fuiciking teddy bear.

This is an unexpected move from Adventureland. Okay Iowa! Welcome to the Map

Unofficial POV!

I hope they ask him to take that down...lol.

Adventureland has finally begun preparations for Monster! Right now they're just digging footings, but hopefully we'll see some vertical construction soon.

Im ready for all 2016 rides

^ Me too! Expecting to see these big thrills coming!

Ugh, and a fast airhill. This is taller and steeper than Speed

Speed "What did they do to that overbank shaping": No Limits @ Oakwood?

There has to have been some mathematical reason for that. The Mr. Freeze's do a very similar thing if I recall correctly.

Adventureland posted this Facebook pic of some groundwork at Monster's construction site. They also stated that the track probably won't be arriving at the park until March. At that rate, I doubt that Monster will be ready by opening day (April 30th).

Well Junker was put together in like 3-4 weeks lol.

It's up to the land condition, I guess.

From Adventureland's Facebook page, here's some Monster track in Europe that's getting ready to be shipped to the U.S. Looks nice!

That green haha. Looks good!

It's lighter than I expected. I might have to make a trip out to this place some day.

^^ Just like Bosque M??gico's "Zombie Ride" - I kinda miss that thread, lol!

Track has arrived at the park!

Of course they would add a decent coaster after I move across the country. Hopefully they take care of this one. Lord knows their other rides are borderline death machines.

^^ Looks bright! One of my favorite track colors!

Hopefully that we'll also be able to see this coaster with the lights on!
