As I said Montrzooma's Revenge only has one loop but as this is a
shuttle loop coaster that goes both directions on the track you are
inverted twice. One inversion is going forward and the other one
is in reverse. What's fun about going through this twice is with
all of the speed from the launch the forward loop is really forceful
planting you firmly in your seat. In reverse though the train
slows through the top of the loop and you have a second or two of hang
time.
A train full of riders is a blur as Montezooma's Revenge speeds back
through the station.
Montezooma's Revenge is not done with you after the station as it has
one final trick.
That is the back spike.
Monte throws you up in the air for one last thrill. This is where
the back seat really shines as the best place to ride because you have
that much more you are shot up and conversely that much to more to fall
as Montezooma's Revenge plummets into the brakes.
