      Also, Cedar Point got a contracted "Zone of Exclusivity" with Raptor. For a certain number of years, parks within 300 Miles couldn't build a B&M invert. This is probably why Canada's wonderland (228mi.) and Kings island (170mi) didn't receive a B&M but Williamsburg (435mi) did

      I got to give Montu thumbs 👍 up for being the #1 invert in the USA. Better than Raptor, Banshee and Alpengeist. Riding this ride in those trenches did it for me. The pull out on every element in those trenches are so forceful. But the elements like the zero g roll is so graceful. It feels like a long ride. It's like B&M made the perfect invert and it went to the perfect park. You go Busch Gardens Tampa. I know you are striving for the best rides especially when you open Iron Gwazi. You got the best drop tower besides the new one at the park in Orlando and Drop zone at kings Island. All you need now is a top tie hyper or Giga coaster, a few more flat rides and a top tier single rail coaster and you will be my favorite theme park. Thanks Busch Gardens Tampa.

    I’m a FL resident (previously a Universal passholder) here to confirm that the Chinese Fireball track for Dragon’s Challenge was indeed better than the Hungarian Horntail track. It packed such a strong punch, and that airtime hill over the other track’s zero-G roll was one of my favorite elements ever. If I only had time to ride one of them during a visit, I would always pick the fireball. I was seriously upset to see them go.

  • @reruddock
    @reruddock Před 4 lety +13

    The trenches on Montu add a foot-chopper effect, similar to head-choppers on traditional coasters. Totally worth it if riding in the front. Although you logically know it was built high enough to prevent contact, it is still nerve-racking and you reflexively want to pull your feet up. Also, the coaster is straight up intense and the theming is top-notch.

I rode Afterburn for the first time just 3 years ago (that was actually my second visit to Carowinds after one in 2003). And then I rode Montu 2 years ago. Both of those I thought were amazing as well. Out of all of Kings Island's recent additions, I was most excited for Banshee. I wanted a KI invert ever since I rode Raptor for the first time in like 2006, but I always thought that was a "next level" kind of ride we'd never get...but now we have that, and our own giga.

    Happy to see you ranked Montu as #1. I grew up in Tampa with busch gardens as my home park and must have ridden it 100+ times. What I find a shame though is the that in the past decade or so they have been trimming the train's speed entering the batwing, and also have significantly increased the breaking force applied at the MCBR. If you search for the opening day footage from 1996(it's on youtube), you can see that neither of these things are in place and the result is the single most intense coaster experience I have yet to encounter. It's not all doom and gloom though, they do occasionally turn off the trim and the MCBR still. If you are ever in Florida during the cooler months of about November-March, take a trip to Busch Gardens. You might just luck out and get the holy grail on North American coaster experiences.

    I am so glad you made this! Inverts are my absolute favorite model from B&M with the sheer intensity and just all around fun that their layouts brings. Afterburn’s batwing element was simply incredible to experience from the back row and can’t wait to ride the remainder of the inverts I’m missing on my to ride list!

    • @kaijohnson5033
      @kaijohnson5033 Před 2 lety

      It’s an absolute shame that more inverts don’t have that batwing. It’s the sole element that puts Montu ahead of Raptor for me. It’s just out of this world intense.

    @1M1MYT Před 4 lety +3

    I looooove to see Montu getting the respect it deserves!! It is easily the best invert I have ever ridden and is very underrated especially for how smooth it is after 25 years. My 2nd favorite coaster of all-time! 😍

  • @garminkid
    @garminkid Před 4 lety +5

    Finally, someone else who prefers Raptor over Afterburn. Afterburn is just too short of a ride for me. I’ve always said that Afterburn with a real second half would be my favorite invert, and that was proven when I rode Montu for the first time. But going back to Raptor: it’s long, extremely intense, and has an awesome setting. I’ve ridden 112 coasters at several large parks (CP, KI, BGT, BGW, SWO, SFMM, Carowinds, etc), and Raptor is still a top ten coaster for me, and my second favorite at Cedar Point, my home park.

    • @TheSonicsean
      @TheSonicsean Před 4 lety

    My sister and I both used to work at Busch Gardens Tampa and they had a staff only event for the opening of Cheetah Hunt. They only had the front part of the park open and were running the new ride but they were also running Montu that evening. They must've been running it fast or something because it was the most fun and intense ride I've ever had on a coaster. Gave me a big headache, but I had a huge smile on my face.. Thanks for the video, brought back some good memories. : )

    Nice to see Alpie getting some love! I personally rank it over Raptor since it has a slightly weaker layout, but has one of the best settings of any invert in the world. When the MCBR is weak, that second half is crazy whippy. It’s also the coaster I’ve ridden the most, so it has sentimental value for me

Hopefully I'll get to ride it again this winter and re-evaluate. But I absolutely love the vest restraints on Banshee and it is soooooo smooth. And that zero g roll at the end, is sooo epic. So i'll be surprised if Montu can retake 1st but we'll see. As always great video and great editing. PS If you take Dueling Dragons as 1 combined coaster experience, it makes it #1 and all the more tragic. Thank you for including it in the list.

    I've been on the Batman clones, Fire and Ice, Montu, and Top Gun. Top Gun was the first ever "big" coaster I rode as a child (not counting Demon). It's short, but it is definitely intense, and the last helix over the water is one of my all time favorite elements on any coaster I've ever ridden. The setting, speed, and intensity combine for a truly special ride experience.

    Great Bear really is intense! It’s my favorite ride at Hersheypark park surprisingly! Plus with its quirks it makes it feel unique!
    You feel like you are going way faster than you may think probably because it starts with a helix then the first drop! The first half feels like I’m riding a airplane going berserk!
