After I had gone on all the rides in that section with the wild mouse and that Schwarzkopf ride, it poured for about an hour. Everything was wet and closed, so I went into some sort of mummy attraction near Montu. I got into the Montu station, got near the front of the line for back seat, and waited for about two hours. They kept on making it sound like itd open soon. Finally, I realized it wouldnt open for a while, so I left. I was told it would open by the end of the day. That didnt sound right to me, so I went for another round of Sheikra (which was better than the first time).

I went back to Montu, and there was a huge group waiting for it to open. I waited about an hour, and finally rushed in front of everyone to get first ride in back. I didnt know what to expect. The ride didnt look like much, but I had heard its awesome. I sat down on the most inward seat, and it was off. There was a small dip/turn before the lift. The lift wasnt too long before it flattened out. I was immediately pulled into the drop, thinking itd slow down before the actual drop came. Wrong. It was a long, fast, and awesome first drop. It went right into a loop and an immelman to start it off. Then it went up, and spun extremely fast for the zero-G roll. CLACK!!!! The train hit a trim, which slowed it down a /lot/. It hung at the top of the batwing, and SMASH! I didnt expect that because it was so slow. The second flip of the batwing went right up to the mid-course brake run.

The drop off the mid-course brake run was done in the same style as the first drop. It was surprisingly awesome for its height. It went right into an extremely tight loop that seemed like it was made to crush peoples bones. It slowly went around all over the place, before a very fast corkscrew came up and went right into the brakes.

Montu is truly an awesome ride. It was worth the long wait I had for it. It feels like it could have a bit more in it, though. The first loop and immelman felt like a waste. They just werent as awesome as the rest of the ride. This is a must-ride.
