When discussing the placement of the Monster concept within the existing park, officials summarized that the only way that such a massive project would work was if the formidably sized station and maintenance bays were built underground. To spare more ground space, the coaster would have to use as few supports as possible, with multiple smaller supports being grouped into one thick column. When approached, engineers from B&M were initially skeptical about whether such a project was possible, but eventually agreed to sign on. Given the limited size of the site, Monster is an extremely compact attraction and occupies a minimal amount of ground-level space.

In
February 2017, Gröna Lund unveiled their 700-metre (2,300 ft) long B&M inverted coaster project, which was set to begin construction in 2018 and open for the 2020 season. The opening date was later revised to 2021, and an inversion was removed from the original layout.
