The Monster, Steel roller coaster at Adventureland in Altoona, United States.
The Monster features a vertical chain lift reaching 133 feet before plunging riders down a 101-degree drop at speeds of 65 miles per hour.
Opening in June 2016 with a construction cost of 9 million dollars, this attraction replaced the former River Rapids Log Flume at Adventureland Park.
The Monster stands as the first Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster in America, marking a milestone in the evolution of domestic amusement park engineering.
Riders must reach a minimum height of 48 inches to experience the five inversions, including a dive loop, Finnish loop, and Immelmann hill.
The coaster incorporates 137 track-mounted LED fixtures and 46 ground lights, creating synchronized illumination patterns during evening operations.
