thrillseeker4552 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I love that color! Thanks for sharing. These Gerstlauer Infinity coaster seem pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureJack Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Another pic from the Facebook page. Weather is warming up here in Iowa. Snow is melting and the temp is supposed to be up in the 50s for a while. Looking good for construction! I agree, that green is gonna look GREAT in the sun.

PixelRush Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think it's interesting they're deciding to use a more family-friendly monster image versus a snarling beast, which is kind of cool! It will encourage more kids to ride it, no matter what the layout is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Good to see some track on site, hopefully it'll go vertical soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm excited to see track! I so cant wait to visit Adventureland for the first time this Summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureJack Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Now this post is getting me really excited. Got another update from the Facebook page and they're trying out lighting! "Just playing with some lighting concepts for The Monster - this will be a whole different ride from day to night. We can't wait to open our new steel roller coaster this June!!" Now the reason I'm supper excited for this is because Adventureland hasn't really experimented much with lighting up their rides at night. Before Storm Chaser was installed I think the fairs wheel and SpaceShot were the only major rides to have cool night elements. I know none of the coasters had any before this. And yeah, part of the reason is because Adventureland doesn't stay open as late as other parks do, but regardless this is gonna be fun! What color schemes would you like to see?

WOFanatic Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 ^Now that looks AWESOME!! I've always dreamed for a park to put in lighting like this on a ride! It just looks so vibrant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Oh wow that's cool! I'd like to see multiple colored lights on the track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The color and lighting schemes are top notch. Can't wait to see vertical construction start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I was surprised to see that the projected opening is not until June. I assumed they would shoot at least for Memorial Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Gerstlauer usually goes up really fast, Junker went up in one and a half months and that includes testing for the launch system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureJack Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So since the ride hasn't gone vertical yet I thought it would be nice to bring a video back from an In The Loop podcast. This video was released back in July when the ride was announced and I noticed that it wasn't posted here. There's quite a bit of cool information you might not have known about the ride and the park that is talked about: the hotel, lap bars and interaction with the sky ride, ect.

AdventureJack Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Again, sorry for double posting but I was just snooping around on Facebook (like always ) and I found some unofficial pictures from some guys on the construction team. These were taken back at the end of January so they're further along than this on installing, but it's still neat to see the construction from their POV. We also get a blueprint for our Monster. Apparently the red stripes on the sheet signify the sky ride that will go through a number of loops and features of the ride just like Molly talked about in the video above!

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks for the photos! Those vertical lines on the plans--is that where the Sky Ride is going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 ^Apparently so yeah, which should create really good interaction with the coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it just me or that Windseeker looks so funny that I want to laugh every time I see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Again, sorry for double posting but I was just snooping around on Facebook (like always ) and I found some unofficial pictures from some guys on the construction team. These were taken back at the end of January so they're further along than this on installing. . . Isn't January a little late to be starting construction on a coaster if you want it open near the parks opening day?? Apparently the red stripes on the sheet signify the sky ride that will go through a number of loops and features of the ride just like Molly talked about in the video above! Cheetah Hunt 2.0?!

CoasterMateo Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 ^^ I don't think they are aiming for opening day actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 From the parks Facebook page, it looks as if the first piece of track has been placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 ^Fantastic to see as it certainly has taken a while to go vertical. Really love the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barge84 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Looking good. I think they had to do a lot of preparation work on the site since the log ride used to be there.They should easily hit early June at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
