Six Flags Schuyler Lake/Lake Monster

History
The ride was first announced in August 1981 originally to open for the then upcoming 1982 season, but after the failure of The Bat at Kings Island the ride's construction was delayed. Construction of the coaster began in May of 1983 after two years of delay and was completed in September of 1983 shortly after the park had closed for the season.

The coaster officially opened on May 30th, 1984.

The train's restraints and paint scheme were changed to lime green "slime splat"/black background in 1989, they still carry the paint scheme today.

The coaster was repainted red/gray due to the new sponsor, Coca-Cola, coming in. The ride re-opened with it's new paint scheme on April 20th, 1991.

Coca-Cola no longer sponsors the attraction, but the color scheme is still red/gray.

From 1989 to 2006, the ride had water cannons where ongoing riders were blasted with water. They were only active between Memorial Day and Labor Day. They were later removed after the 2006 season due to high maintenance costs.

In 2022, Lake Monster because an ACE Coaster Landmark.
