April 15, 20214 yr comment_273143 It looks very unique layout wise for a invert. I am sure it'll be a quirky ride. I love how its layout is a bit funky.
May 7, 20214 yr comment_273342 This ride also has lights on the underside of the trains. I'm not sure if there are any other inverts with a similar feature?
May 8, 20214 yr comment_273343 I think that's the first B&M Invert to having such a lighting package, yes. Every time I see this coaster I'm still awe struck by how they've managed to fit it into the park. It's a marvellous feat of engineering to have pulled this off.
May 8, 20214 yr comment_273345 It's so adorably cute, like Daemonen There's a POV somewhere. Looks like it's got a bit of bite to it and one or two good leg choppers. Jealous of those riding it.
May 25, 20214 yr Author comment_273569 Interesting development, especially after the construction of Monster. Grona are acing real life RCT scenarios.
September 26, 20222 yr comment_281393 Monster is a wonderful ride with a really interesting, intense and varied layout. It's really something how it fits into the park. I particularly liked its lake side first drop, overlooking the water. America may have the sheer quantity of Inverters but I'd rather have the quality of Nemesis, Katun, Oz'Siris, Monster and Black Mamba, anyday.

1 hour ago1 hr comment_328216 Had my first ever visit to Gröna Lund last Saturday.It’s a nice little park, and really impressive how much they’ve managed to cram into such a small space.Monster is a brilliant little B&M Invert. It’s amazing how well they’ve made it fit in the park - it just looks like it’s always been there. The underground station is really unique, and so is its layout for an invert. That airtime hill completely took me by surprise and was easily the best airtime moment I’ve had on an invert before. It’s silky smooth and definitely sits high on my invert list.Unfortunately, I got spited by Insane, which didn’t operate all afternoon/evening while I was there. I was particularly looking forward to it since I’ve never had the chance to do a Zac Spin. Not sure why it was closed or how long it’s been down?As a big drop tower fan, I was really impressed with their lineup - three towers all offering different experiences. Definitely the best drop tower selection I’ve seen at any park, and it makes sense given how limited their space is.The S&S tower was solid. It starts with the “shot” mode, then slowly takes you to the top for the drop. I like the towers that do both rather than just one or the other.Ikaros is an Intamin Skyjump, and after doing some research in the queue I learned Falcon’s Fury is the only other one, which I've also ridden. Surprised Intamin hasn’t sold more of these. The views were fantastic, but I found the ride itself pretty forceless. Hard to compare directly to Falcon’s Fury since it’s been 10 years, but I’m pretty sure Ikaros breaks lower down and swings a lot more on its return. Falcon’s still looks more intimidating though.Fritt Fall was my favorite of the drop towers - an Intamin the same as Apocalypse and Condor. These never fail to deliver and this was no different.The park also had a nice bar with views over Stockholm. You’re not allowed to leave the bar areas with drinks though so they can “watch” you, which made me laugh.‘Vilda Musen’ the parks Gerst bobsled is decent, and Twister the gravity group woodie was okay. Smooth and a decent family coaster, but nothing to write home about.The day ended on an annoying note. The park closed at 10pm, and while I was at the front of a queue for my last ride, the host came down the queue to tell us their boss had said they had to close now and we wouldn’t be able to ride. The time was 21:57. Bit annoying since it was still before 10 and I was already in the queue, but it is what it is. On the way out I also saw them turning people away (already in the queue) for one of the drop towers too.Its a great compact little park with a great selection of rides, Monster being the obvious standout. Not somewhere I’d rush back to without a good reason to or in the area again, but I enjoyed my time there and do recommend a visit 😃
