It's 133 feet tall. It's the tallest Gerstlauer of any type excluding like 2 or 3 coasters if I'm correct... Speed, Schwur des Karnan and whatever else. Super stoked. Also that element before the corkscrew is wayyy cooler than the rendering suggested. I'm excited to physically see the first tophat-ish element. Should be up soon.

I'm pretty sure the launched coasters like Junker and Karacho will be faster than this. Karnan will definitely be faster as well.

I believe I saw in a video that Monster will clock 65 mph, which puts it well above Karacho (which is not very tall) and about at Junker's speed. But yes Karnan is much faster.

And I was wrong in my last post. This is quite a bit taller than Speed. Oops. But awesome.

65mph?! I thought that Monster would mark around 60... because of the stated track height. :)

I'd say Speed is deceptively tall but being a UK enthusiast means I have no real understanding of tall coaster.

Well Speed is 115 feet and goes 59 mph, and they're pretty much identical in shape. I think 65 mph for Monster is right.

That stengel - turn - cork combination finale is going to be really pleasant. The banking in that section is going to be crazy.
