Montu • Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Intensity Discomfort

ハードすぎて疲れるのでなんでこんなに評価が高いのかよくわかりません。が、あまりにも空いているのでついつい連続で乗ってしまい後悔をします。

Awesome B&M Invert. Second favorite. Grayed our two seperate Times on it. The trenches are fun and the layout just keeps going and going.

8.0 out of 10. many inversions and the pace works. not as smooth as Raptor

While I may not praise Montu to death like its brother Kumba, this ride still has a lot going for it. Montu is an excellent invert and was the first I ever rode. It’s still my favorite to this day, outplacing Banshee, Afterburn, Batman (Over Texas and Over Georgia), Great Bear, Raptor and Talon. It was the second major coaster I ever rode, right after Kumba — which got me into coasters — and features lots of intense inversions and turns. Most notably are the corkscrew finale, INSANE batwing, immelmann, second loop and helix. Montu provides much raw intensity for being an old-school B&M, and most prefer Montu to Kumba; however because of the special place Kumba has in my heart (read my review on Kumba if you are interested in hearing more on that) I rank Kumba higher, but Montu isn’t far behind. I am riding both this April after nearly four long years of being away from my former home park (Busch Gardens Tampa), and I am over the moon about it!

Very fun ride! Only problem about this one is that I went on it only once.

If "inconsistent" was a listed con I would most certainly choose it - I've had very good rides on Montu but also ones that are incredibly boring.

Old school B&M from a time before restrictions on G-loading. The only real fault are the heavy mid-course brakes to take the sting out of it's batwing, one of the heaviest loaded elements you'll find anywhere. On last visit we had the back rows to ourselves; to the point where we could repeat ride without getting off. The cool kids can muck about on Cheetah Hunt's gimmicks, more space for the us here on a ride really worth travelling half way round the world to see!

Montu is a beast! Really packs a punch the whole way round, love the batwings.. really intense! Love the near miss against the wall, feels like your feet are going to hit it! Final corkscrew is a good finisher. Find it a bit of a headbanger nearer to the back though .. Rode it twice in a row last time and had a headache after. But still love it! Love the color of the track too

This ride is just a maniac and so powerful! It roars like crazy! Man and that Zero g roll and batwing are heaven!

As my 2nd favorite invert in the US, Montu thrives off of its huge amount of inversions, incredible forcefulness and fast whip, and enormous size and scale. The batwing, zero-g roll, and flat spin are particularly intense. I also like how each trench is themed, with hieroglyphics on the stone walls. Montu's downfall is pacing: It feels like a series of intense elements, strung together with turns, rather than an intense, continuous experience like Kumba or Afterburn. It also slows down a bit after the midcourse, dragging through the second loop and helix, before picking up again into the explosive final corkscrew. While the pacing isn't the best, the sheer size and power of Montu is so awesome that it outweighs the cons by far.
