Montu • Busch Gardens Tampa

Inversions Intensity Smoothness

Montu is an outstanding invert with a barrage of fantastic inversions and intense turns. The zero-g roll and the batwing are incredible, as is the rest of this amazing ride.

First Drop Pace Disappointing! Discomfort

I hate foot numbness some inverts have & I love hangtime. Montu has neither. Well it does have a little foot numbness, which is why this ride is just ok. It's the most overrated coaster I've ridden but it's fine.

The most intense invert out there, not one compares

So whippy, not the perfect ride but I love it nonetheless. A little disappointed though

The hype is big for Montu. It checks every box. Yet, for me, it didn't deliver like a few other inverts have. Something about it just didn't hit me right. It rides great, is big, the inversions are proper and the pacing is excellent...but nothing stood out making it head and shoulders above the rest. Alpengeist is still my favorite bc of how big it feels and it has the perfect setting. Great Bear feels so original and the tight loop hits just right as it roars throughout the parks and over the water. Montu, while great, doesn't beat those two for me. A must ride, and a stellar ride at that, but not the legend it's made out to be. I did prefer a back row on it by far.

Just make sure to ride it later in the day when it warms up, I rode it at night and it was awesome without the trims on!!!

Amazing (one of the best) B&M inverts. It has many inversions, cool layout, is intense and pretty fast paced.

This is probably the coaster I have the most laps on. It's so rerideable.

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!

Inversions Intensity Dead spots

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.
