Montu

About Montu

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Montu is the Southeast’s tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster. Named after a hawk-headed Egyptian warrior god, this top-rated thrill ride takes passengers through four first-of-a-kind inverted elements, including a 50-foot vertical loop half buried in an “excavation trench.” While reaching speeds up to 65 miles per hour, Montu takes guests on a three-minute journey over 4,000 feet of non-stop twists and turns. -- Last edited by Jill Revelle

Readers' Opinions

A little dissapointed by this ride cannot figure out what it is though. - Nicholas Kalscheuer

maybe one of the best coasters in the park. it has great turns and elements thru the entire ride, and the trenches are a great addition to the ride. one of my favorite looping roller coasters. - Jake Gould

this ride is the best.the flips and the turns are the coolest thing about this ride i feel like im flying in the air. - haley swinehart

10/10. You haven't lived until you rode this front row at night. - Nicholas Gammon

This was a simply amazing ride. The entire ride was smooth and intense. The Theming and trenches were amazing. The only downside I saw was that after the brake run, the ride coasts along, and never has any real speed. - Patrick Gorham

This is all together an amazing ride. It's sooooo smooth, it's incredibly thrilling, It's tall, It's fast, It's not a short ride, so I guess it's just plain amazing! - Asher Oosterbaan

I was really excited about this ride, but sadly, it disapointed me to a great extent. It wasn't that fun, and personally, I don't think the ride was long enough. - Molly R
