The Montu roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Let's see it's a Monday in January so of course Busch Gardens was dead and we had barely any waits for the rides.

Montu takes you up 150 feet up into the Florida sky before spiraling you down 128 feet. There used to be Nile Crocodiles right underneath Montu's lift hill but unfortunately they are elsewhere in the park.

Long time readers know I'm all about the Immelmann loop so I loved it on Montu.

Montu is an inverted coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard out od Switzerland. Busch Gardens added it in 1996 along with the rest of the Egyptian section.

I have photos of the above ground portions of Mamba but what really makes this coaster are all of the trenches you dive in and out of as you fly through the rides 3,983 feet of twisted track.
