This is one of the top 3 inverts (Alpengeist, Top Gun, Montu), it is smooth, fast, well themed, and has some great inversions. Count me as a convert to the Montu faithful. As a teenager, this didnt do too much for me, but now having ridden more rides and having a deeper understanding of coasters, this shoots up in a hurry. It is quite quick, and is pretty long. Certain parts remind me of Alpengeist, but this is a different ride. The batwing is like a cobra roll, turned inside out. It has a great loop and an awesome immelman. You get some good Gs in the barrell roll. The second half is a kind of weak but the first half makes up for it. Tampa needs to take a leason from Williamsburg in taking care of rides however. Montu is a little run down, perhaps because it never closes like BGW. Overall, this is a great coaster and has earned a spot in my Top Ten. (Edited on Oct. 23)
