This was the original 1960's eyerly aircraft 24 spinning cars, 6 arms monster. I didn't think it still existed especially in the 21st century (2020's).
Last day for the WOF Octopus was 11/2/2014. They can no longer get parts. =8^( One of my first rides there. My boys too. I will upload video of it running on it's last night.
This ride is actually called a Monster, not Octopus. There is one just like it at the Washington State Fair (owned by Funtastic Shows) and I never knew the difference until recently. I think Funtastic calls theirs the Spider, but it's the same ride. I always preferred this over the actual Octopus ride.
a fun FYI.... the scrambler sat in that spot and the octopus was over where Bamboozler is now when the park opened in 1973. The scrambler moved over to the kiddie area because it originally was going to be inside the Incredodome building but didn't fit. So the scrambler took the spot where Incredodome was in the kiddie area. Now the scrambler is back in it's very original location where it started in 1973.
nope....... Octopus opened with Worlds Of Fun back in 1973.... the original name was Oriental Octopus because it was in the orient section when Worlds Of Fun opened in 1973.
@@brianfoster4755 Yes they did. It sat where Sky Screamer is now. There actual footage of MoMo in vintage clips of Six Flags Over Mid America here on youtube!
ReviewCentral1000 I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I was borrowing a friend's GoPro. It looks like eBay has them for around $9, and Target & NewEgg.com have them for around $13.
I don’t find these things scary for me they are fun I don’t understand why people scream like it’s misery like after I went on the mamba I was screaming more than them.
This was my fav ride at WOF when i was a teen but it was black then and at night lit up
Hate to bring the bad news but this ride was removed from Wof for the 2015 season.
U said black😂😂😂😂😂dont u mean back
I miss this ride. It was one of my favorites😭😭😭
That is not an octopus. That's a MONSTER.
Schwarzkopf monster?
Nick K. eyerly

Thank you for sharing this! Such a great metaphor for life.

That's the grand daddy of the octopus and spider
The screams tho, sounds like a cartoon cat show called Tilly & moo, "he he he he hee! Weeooo!" Like wtf! But great video, I enjoyed it ;)
FYI this one is actually a Monster 4 tubs per arm. Octopus has 1 tub and the spider has 2
THE 🐙 RIDE IS THE FIRST AIDERS CHOICE OF RIDES THIS RIDE IS ONE BADASS RIDE WITH AN ATTITUDE

Hay the roller coaster I fun
They just reopened it in a new spot this year under the name Mustang Runner.
@@DrDrake-kz7js you are wrong. Mustang runner is entirely different.
Oops I was mistaken. They now have a similar ride to this named Mustang Runner
I love WOF!!! So many memories there! Love it!!!
This used to be my favorite ride

I hate that you have to have two riders per car to ride the one at the fair. In fact, all the rides are like that. It sucks.
the Monster model has 6 main arms and the Octopus/ Spider model has 8 main arms.
I was actually a passenger on the last ride of this ride. Some part fell off and they couldn’t repair it.
this was taken out for the scandi scrambler...
The scrambler was there at the same time as the octopus. It just used to be purple.

I think this was Momo Monster from St Louis Missouri before World Of Fun bought it

@@ZacBrzuchalski they had one at St Louis just like this one called Momo at there Six Flags in St Louis they had a Monster called Momo

I love the octopus at worlds of fun
they took the octopus down because they stopped making parts for it. and The ride they had broke.
Is this a schwarzkopf monster 1?
How did u mount the GoPro so it didn't fall.
I was wearing the GoPro head strap, which was pretty tight.
Awesome! does GoPro headstraps come with the GoPro's?

That beaves amd butthead laugh tho
The Octopus is hella fun! :D
"Was" fun. It has since been removed for now. :(
id laugh my butt on this ride because I just do
oh that was my fifth favorite ride
How do the people up high get out at the end of the ride?
They spin it around until it gets to the ground and let them out.
they have a way of only spinning the bottom of the ride and not the top and thats how they load/unload
isn't the mustang runner in that location now
No Scrambler
scrambler took the spot back from octopus. Mustang runner took the spot of the little kids bumper cars.
@@ZacBrzuchalski I know
@@DrDrake-kz7js I know

I don’t find these things scary for me they are fun I don’t understand why people scream like it’s misery like after I went on the mamba I was screaming more than them.
