Throughout the ages, legends have been told of dark, dastardly creatures roaming the depths of the underworld -- sporting countless, gripping tentacles and harboring even more evil intentions. But they’ve never made it to land. Until now. Kings Island’s Monster ride envelops guests in pods of fear and tosses them about on a wild, wicked course. Six tentacles each contain four pods of hapless riders that spin independently, spin together and spin along the base of the Monster -- all while tilting sideways and jostling its victims up and down. You might even catch a bit of weightlessness along the way, adding to the feeling of utter helplessness. The speed of this ride may seem a bit slow when you witness it from the ground, but don’t let that fool you; once you experience this beast, you’ll see that it’s packed with thrills and chills that will keep you coming back for more.
