Monster is a Polyp built by US manufacturer Eyerly Aircraft Company located at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA.

History

Monster was added to the park in 1995. The attraction was said to be returning rather than new,[1] though it is uncertain whether this is the same unit that previously operated at the park. It was removed in 1998 to make way for Dominator, but reopened in 2000 in a new position.[2] It is situated on the site of a former stream, which was diverted through a tunnel to allow wider paths to be built.[3]

The ride was given a new entrance for the 2022 season.[4]
