Montu front seat on-ride 5K POV @60fps Busch Gardens Tampa

[@MasrSR]

Anyone afraid of coasters absolutely needs to ride this coaster !! The first drop isn't too intense and your ride is smooth and you don't feel too many of those stomach forces .

[@yvesouza514]

I have to agree. I'm afraid of rollercoasters. Especially, if I come out of the seat/airtime. It freaks me out. With this rollercoaster, you are stuck to the seat the whole time. I also hate drops that make my stomach come up to my throat. This one curves to the left, not a straight drop so it makes a huge difference. You don't get that falling down feeling. If you don't like to be upside down, then that's a problem. The loops are a bit intense, but again, you don't feel like you will fall out. This is the first BIG rollercoaster I found the guts to ride. But as a warmup, I would recommend Scorpion first.

[@chazgames3690]

The way it tucks the elements so tightly into the terrain is mental

[@simply_deity]

I love how this ride goes into the terrain! You'd think that, after the mid course brake run, the train would crawl through the rest of the layout, but it surprises you!

[@ranchdressing1037]

That last whip into the station after that is so dreadful. Like Kumba, it makes sure you are nauseous if not already lol.

[@austinslater530]

Mid-course I think bites more than it used to, but it’s really not bad. I think the little turnaround after the second loop (over the train tracks) is a little too slow, but that’s pretty much the only spot. I do love how it regains its speed and attacks the last corkscrew, though!

rode this for the first time when i was 11 (it was one of my first coasters, i loved it so much that i marathoned it) and finally got to ride it again 9 years later! still one of my favorite coasters of all time. i went on with my friend who was scared but insisted on riding it and as we were on the lift hill they took a look at the paint job and said “i don’t wanna go to ikea”

Every family trip as a young child, I'd see rides like this and kumba, along with the hulk coaster and dueling dragons over at islands of adventure and I wanted ON.

One of the best coasters on the planet. It's intense yet rides as smooth as silk. Awesome coaster.

[@starryagent9936]

I’d imagine the supports will look better once the Florida heat gets to them in a few years. But this is definitely another repaint up there with Tatsu: right idea, just using too bright of a color

[@mynameiskrysta]

Tastu was the wrong idea entirely lmao

[@signofmars]

It’s interesting to me because I’ve always thought of Montu as (a form of) blue and yellow, so this repaint doesn’t fundamentally change the character of the coaster for me. I think it makes so much sense to futureproof the paint job by making it overly vibrant and letting it fade to the familiar/intended scheme, rather than starting where you want and having it go pastel in a few years. Tatsu’s repaint just fundamentally changes the character of the coaster to me. The Japanese name could inspire so many interesting color schemes, but ~Nickelodeon orange and slime green~ aren’t on that list.

[@Loundlim]

Montu but the supports are sponsored by CAT

[@jackcoleman1784]

For those of you who don't know this isn't a new color scheme. This was Montus original color scheme when it opened. The colors changed either because they were purposely changed for less fade, faded on their own or a combination of the two. I personally prefer this color scheme.

[@mat_ior8598]

At least they maintain and keep their rides looking clean and presentable. A lot of parks do not. They could paint it any color and that ride will still forever kick ass. If they ever changed Kumba colors I’d be very upset though lol

This is definitely one of the best B&M Inverts, with great pace, a long ride, and great whip. This perfectly complements Iron Gwazi with its focus on positives contrasting Gwazi's airtime.

[@sam7bam]

I was a kid when this first opened. The line to get on it was so short (I guess people were scared of it) that the operator let my mother and I stay on it 3 times in a row. Best coaster memory of my life.

[@ibrudiiv]

Similar experience when I was a youngin! Field trip in middle school and I just stayed on it after running through the line twice. I asked the worker if I could just stay on and they said sure lol I was the only person in the front row all 4-5 times I rode it

[@ssuuss539]

THIS RIDE IS HELLA GOOD JUST DID IT 3 TIMES TODAY

[@joan8862]

When I lived in Tampa we had yearly pass. This was my favorite coaster. I think being below the tracks for me is better to handle the drops. Even if this one went straight down instead of curving to the left, I don't think it would have bothered me, because you don't get that feeling that the cars or you are going to fly over the tracks. Good for people who like a thrill but don't want to feel like you are heading for your death.

[@brian7224]

Montu is HANDS DOWN the very BEST inverted coaster in the country! Period! Enough said.

[@Lisence2chill]

holy shit this was so different and so good! I felt it speed up on the way down on the loops and never seen that before. Great force the entire time! WILDDDDD

[@ranchdressing1037]

Not a fan of the new colors, but still a GORGEOUS coaster. The original tan and blue were just superb to see from outside and inside the park. But I still miss Questor too, so I'm a bit bias. I called into work when I lived out there and Montu was new. I rode it 12 times without getting off as the park was so empty that morning lol. I couldn't do a number 13 lol. My coworkers messed with me and said they seen me on it while driving by on the clock, but they just knew I was there to see the new ride lol. About 20 years later, if I ride one coaster, I'm sickly and dizzy for the rest of the day. Not barfing is a miracle lol. I rode Iron Gwazi last weekend and I tried to love it like I wanted to, but she knocked the Hardees right out of me! Kinda dizzy typing this from the flashback lol.

[@JohnDoe-hx9vm]

Gorgeous ride, wish it had kept the croc pit right after the station though. I love the massive scale B&M inverts, this and Alpie seem so cool, dangling under the track at that height is ridiculous. Shame there was never a B&M inverted giga.
