Overview
- Cedar Point, which confirmed the removal Tuesday, said Monster will not be relocated and that there are no plans for the site.
- Spokesman Tony Clark said parts for the aging ride had become too hard to source, leading the park to end its run.
- The spinner opened in 1970 as the Polyp from Eyerly Aircraft Co., a manufacturer that closed in 1990, which has complicated parts supply for similar legacy rides.
- The decision comes during a post‑merger reshaping of the Six Flags–Cedar Fair portfolio that has included a 2025 park closure, seven sales in early 2026, and a planned 2027 shutdown of California’s Great America.
- Fans reacted with nostalgia and disappointment on social media, worrying that family-friendly staples are being phased out in favor of newer, higher-capacity attractions.
