@@RockyandTuck Adventurelands entrance resembles Magic Kingdoms very closely, as a few designers of Disneyland/world desined a few aspects of Adventureland in the beginning.
I was confused as to whether this was a Eurofighter or an Infinity Coaster, so thanks for the clarification. I guess it rides like an Infinity Coaster, since it’s not rough 😆 but off-ride it just looks like Saw - The Ride with lap bars. I’d love to see how you rank the Eurofighters and Infinity Coasters that you’ve ridden. I’ve ridden one of each, the Smiler and Saw - The Ride. This might be controversial, but I actually preferred Saw, for the overall experience, the indoor section is better, it’s really well themed and obviously it has a better drop than Smiler, but I’d love to hear your opinion. Great vid, as always
I’m so glad I got to go this summer… The monster might actually be in my top 10. It’s like when you think it’s over something else happens and that something else happens… What a treat and what a surprise.
For me, Monster is miles ahead of HangTime. HangTime has almost no hang time, but Monster has several moments of hang time, which is one of my favorite things. You mentioned how unique and strange Monster is, which is another thing I appreciate. This is my # 1 coaster that focuses on inversions. Overall, it's top 20 out of over 400. It really helps that this has lap bars and no seat belts. I hate OTSR. I didn't find the lap bars coming down much tighter though, just a little.
When I rode Hangtime back in 2018 I was completely blown away by it. Hearing that it’s one of the weaker Infinity Coasters makes me really want to ride the other ones now.
Rode this last week for the first time for FREE!! Phenomenal coaster (top 15), but even better when Adventureland lets anyone with a SF or CF season pass in for free until end of Sept.! 😎 Kudos to you, Adventureland! 👏🏼
I think a Gerslaur Infinity coaster would be a great fit to replace Vortex at KI, they need some sort of Sit-down Looping coaster with a lift hill and looking at the space they have to work with. A Gerslaur Infinity coaster or a B&M Dive is a good fit imo.
Glad to finally see a review of this thing! It blew me away when I was at Adventureland earlier this year. Instead of adding a Free Spin to replace Dragon; I would have loved to see something like a Hyper GT-X or even an RMC Tornado. Combined with Monster, one of those would make for an AMAZING top two. Maybe in a few years. But even on its own, Monster is so worth a trip to the park!
So, I used to live near this park. I was born in Des Moines and lived in Newton when this coaster hit the park, and this was my first real roller coaster ever. I sat front and middle when that first drop hit, and I was not loving it 😂
And from what I understand since was an operator at Casino Pier on hydrus Greuslauer made lapbars comedown a bit more to keep you inside ride the inversions and prevent wear and tear many people complained about hydruses lapbar being to tight but there’s nothing we can do about it. Just my prospective Edit Hydrus’s
I rode this 7 times earlier this month, and the ops stapled me so hard, they were literally leaning their entire weight on the bar. And it wasn’t just one single op, it was multiple different ones, so it must have been policy. Still an insane ride though. Luckily it isn’t an airtime focused ride so it’s not the end of the world when you get stapled
The GP usually want to be stapled on this. If they recognize you coming back for more and more rides, they stop stapling you. They recognized me, because I was one of the only guests in the park wearing a mask. I then had so much room, even I was scared going into the drop.
So excited for a coaster with a Swedish loop! The Finnish and Norwegian loops are cool, so the Swedish loop will too! (Also the danish and Icelandic loops too)
I love Gerstlauer's Infinity Coasters. I have ridden Karnan, Karacho and this week Gold Rush and all of them are in my TOP 10! (note: I live in Europe and never been in other continent)
It always looked sweet, but we can't always judge a coaster on the POV so I'm glad it is ineed a good ride. I kinda like how it has a slow-fast pacing. It looked fun to be up high hanging then dive down. Maybe I'm weird but I like that lol If only it had low fast sections to get some positive and lat Gs this may be a stunning ride
@@patternaut8338 Nice! That is the vibe it gave off. Shame there aren't some airtime hills or like high speed turns mixed in, but already sounds like a good ride, and with that much hang time they probably need the tight restraints ha
I put Hangtime over this, simply because I feel Hangtime provides stronger airtime, and has a nice mix of inversions. I prefer airtime over hangtime so that's the only reason for me, bur Monster is a fun ride, and definitely has a funky layout
I actually got some good pops of air on it. Idk if it’s because I’m a bigger guy and the restraints didn’t clamp down as hard but I thought the airtime was awesome.
I generally prefer Infinity Coasters over Euro-Fighters- but not necessarily the entire time. Just depends on the ride experience. As a whole, I also prefer the ones that have lap bars instead of OTSR's
I won't be making them this year. Because of the pandemic, I highly doubt we'll be seeing much of anything next year. The only rides that we might see will be the ones that were already purchased before the shut down.
These are not your typical euro fighter trains though, these are infinity coaster trains with 2 rows only, and that's probably enough to handle the crowds of the comparably small Adventureland. Gerstlauer uses different train lengths depending on what the park wants. Fury @ Bobbejaanland has 3 rows and Gold Rush @ Attractiepark Slagharen has 5. It's not always the standard 4.
I’ve been a thoosie for almost 4 years and to this day, I still don’t know the difference between a gerstlauer eurofighter and a gerstlauer infinity coaster
Some Infinity coasters use 8-seat trains, like Monster. Some Eurofighters use lap bars, but many use OTSR. Infinity coasters tend to use lap bars, but not always. I don't know if we'll ever really know what the difference is.
rough rides = lack of maintenance. Stretching part replacement schedules to save a buck is the most common cause. Worn out wheels, too much play in the bogies beats up the track.
I did a Mid-America tour in summer 2019 and this ride was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Would love to see more of these in the US. (Maybe at my home park--KD!!??)
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed, You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy...wait, you meant the ride? If it's not the Rihanna song then is it sponsored by monster drinks? It's actually just called monster to...be a monster. Well, that's shocking. Ok, anyways...
You know that Gerslauer had a ton of fun designing it.
Didn't know Magic Kingdom had a massive Gerstlauer...
I wish
It was so weird, having this as my home park, then going to Disney when I got older.
I get it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get it
@@RockyandTuck Adventurelands entrance resembles Magic Kingdoms very closely, as a few designers of Disneyland/world desined a few aspects of Adventureland in the beginning.
i bet that finnish loop feels amazing ive experienced one on junker loved the hangtime :3 !
As an Iowan... I can get you a green card and a ride on Monster, Matilda 😉
More hangtime than Hangtime 😂

I prefer Smiler, personally, mainly because of the airtime hills. I prefer Saw’s theming, but much prefer Smiler’s theme, if that makes sense.
mmegidolaonn Yeah I get what you’re saying, Smiler just doesn’t really do it for me like it does others, but the airtime hills are great!
@@mmegidolaonn yeah Saw is so well themed but the smiler would be better if it was themed as well as saw

0:56 My dude in the middle right seat just waterboarded himself down a crazy steep drop. What a legend.
Wtf😂🤣I’ve never seen that before that’s wild asf
I think i like it. But What exactly is this supposed to accomplish? Just curious.

I love when coasters have a design on the front of their trains
2:57 why does everyone have shirts over their face lol
For the camera
The trick with the lap bars is to love a bit forward every time you get positive g-forces and move backwards when getting negative gs

Yes, when I heard that, I made a spur of the moment trip up there last weekend.
I think a Gerslaur Infinity coaster would be a great fit to replace Vortex at KI, they need some sort of Sit-down Looping coaster with a lift hill and looking at the space they have to work with. A Gerslaur Infinity coaster or a B&M Dive is a good fit imo.
Max Hagenauer cedar point already has a dive tho
@@coasterclinic2228 B&M dives and Gerstlauer dives are completely different experiences.
Max Hagenauer yeah I just can’t see cedar fair doing that though
@@coasterclinic2228 I mean, Knott's has one. Maybe not a B&M dive as much as a Gerslaur Infinity coaster.

Ur kidding rmc tornado? Dude rmc outlaw imagine how sick that would be
Monster looks so underrated!
I agree!
Agreed
Yup
For real! It looks INSANE
It is criminally underrated. Best inversion-focused coaster in North America!
For a small park in Iowa, Monster is a great fit. I've been on it a few times.
That ride looks insane. I wanna ride this someday!
Looks sick. It's on my bucket list
That ride at night looks so cool
love having this as my home park
Monster looks awesome!
It does!
ima a roller coaster enthusiast and this ride is my favorite in the world its also my home park :D
The ejecter on that first drop is insane.
I love this coaster!
"These trims improve the ride experience." Never did I ever think I would hear Taylor say that.
It would be awesome if Kings Island got an infinity like this or Hangtime
Yes that’s what we need
I’m pretty sure a MACK Multi Launch, or Wing coaster will be the next coaster.
COASTERCO watch them put a dive coaster in instead😭
I was thinking the same thing, that or a B&M dive.
I feel like Kentucky Kingdom needs this more than King’s Island. KI needs a wing coaster imo.
So, I used to live near this park. I was born in Des Moines and lived in Newton when this coaster hit the park, and this was my first real roller coaster ever. I sat front and middle when that first drop hit, and I was not loving it 😂

Edit Hydrus’s
Love this ride. In my top 50 for sure
Gerstlauer’s coasters are awesome!
Mr Coller Roaster yeah they look to be a contender for the most underrated manufacturer
Airtime Productions yes I think they are
I can't help but think of the Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive when I see this ride.
I rode this 7 times earlier this month, and the ops stapled me so hard, they were literally leaning their entire weight on the bar. And it wasn’t just one single op, it was multiple different ones, so it must have been policy.

Universal should have gotten this instead of Rip Ride Rockit.
This but with their capacity needs.
This is nothing compared to Shakin Bacon!
LOL
Ironically, this would have been an iconic perfect name for an inversion-focused coaster in Iowa. 😂
so underaded
Never been on this one but I had the opportunity to get a ride on Junker - the other Finnish Loop Coaster. And it was just so amazing. :-)
I’ve been on the smiler and it was great plus the smiler trains look soo different to this infinity coaster
"not intense"
Me looking at the first drop: 👁👄👁
You’d be surprised how many positive G’s there are in the valleys between elements
No like it’s intense but very fun
So excited for a coaster with a Swedish loop! The Finnish and Norwegian loops are cool, so the Swedish loop will too! (Also the danish and Icelandic loops too)
Although sadly the Icelandic loop will probably never see the light of day. They don't have an amusement park and I don't see one coming anytime soon.
John Wardley Did an amazing job designing the coaster for this theme park.
I rode this 14 times last time I was there. It's very fun and i love all the hangtime but I had no idea it went 65 mph!
That thing looks pretty cool
I love Gerstlauer's Infinity Coasters. I have ridden Karnan, Karacho and this week Gold Rush and all of them are in my TOP 10! (note: I live in Europe and never been in other continent)

It kind of rides as if you are going down a bunch of smaller first drops, with hang time in between. Its amazing!
@@patternaut8338 Nice! That is the vibe it gave off. Shame there aren't some airtime hills or like high speed turns mixed in, but already sounds like a good ride, and with that much hang time they probably need the tight restraints ha
0:57 are we just gonna ignore the people in the grey shirts who put there shirt over there head?!?!?!
And at 2:58 lol
I like how long you hang upside down on it.... Not a huge ride by any means but definitely a fun one
Both of the Infinity coasters in the U.S got the same score.
Air Time Thrills hearing it's not about the air time: *insert reaction meme here*
You should do another silver wood review now that you’ve been in the summer
its on my to do list!
Would love fiesta Texas to have this
KCL Engineering is a Des Moines based company, so it makes sense that this was their first coaster
Greet video and review. I’m a big fan of Gerstlaur but I do wonder why some are rough and others are smooth.
I put Hangtime over this, simply because I feel Hangtime provides stronger airtime, and has a nice mix of inversions. I prefer airtime over hangtime so that's the only reason for me, bur Monster is a fun ride, and definitely has a funky layout
I live in Iowa, I'm very lucky to have this coaster, ngl its like the only thing fun in Iowa
when will a boss review come out?
I havent been on the coaster at all and i was about 7 when it came out now im 13 and plan on going on it this year can you tell me what to expect?👀
You should do a tornado review
I actually got some good pops of air on it. Idk if it’s because I’m a bigger guy and the restraints didn’t clamp down as hard but I thought the airtime was awesome.
2:25, We found Skyrush's brother.
Max Hagenauer it’s really not that bad on Monster, i had no issue with the lap bars coming down personally
always wanted to ride this. I drive past this thing 4 times per year for work purposes but never get a chance to enjoy the actual experience.
YAY! content
the reason it speeds up and then slows down is cuz of the short train, which is inconsistent with the drag
Laaaauureeeeen! Are we off the track Laaaaaaaauuuuuuuuureeeeen!?!?!? We're gonna die Laaaauuuuuureeeeeeeeeeen!

So how do you feel about Eurofighters vs. Infinity Coasters???
I generally prefer Infinity Coasters over Euro-Fighters- but not necessarily the entire time. Just depends on the ride experience. As a whole, I also prefer the ones that have lap bars instead of OTSR's

So how would you compare Monster to rides like Kärnan and the Smiler?
Expedition Ed not as good as either
So it’s like wicked when the lap bar keeps tightening
Do you prefer Takabisha or Shellraiser?
I’ve been a thoosie for almost 4 years and to this day, I still don’t know the difference between a gerstlauer eurofighter and a gerstlauer infinity coaster
WOAH YOU HAVE 760 CREDITS
But like how do you define the difference
Also btw, takabisha is one of the largest if not the largest gerstlauers and that is a eurofighter
Washington DC Coaster Fan ok
Also yes
His name is Taylor Bumblebee
Some Infinity coasters use 8-seat trains, like Monster. Some Eurofighters use lap bars, but many use OTSR. Infinity coasters tend to use lap bars, but not always. I don't know if we'll ever really know what the difference is.

I don’t get what exactly an infinity coaster is because they’re all different. Surely this should be a eurofighter
I Think it comes down to the vehicle
"You'll go fast... and then you slow down. You'll go fast again, then you slow down."
That's technically all roller coasters if you think about it.

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "yunkers", like the German aircraft company and the Prussian nobility class.
How is this considered an infinity coaster, but Takabisha isn't.
