Montu is an amazing Inverted coaster themed to ancient egypt mytholy. The one-of-a-kind Batwing inversion is fun, but the size of this monster is the reason it is such a thrill! Montu is the only Inverted coaster with more than 6 inversions - it contains 7.
  
Did you know that crocodiles used to swim around the pool by the station exit?!

Another fantastic ride at BG Africa. Only just behind of Sheikra, Montu is voted mine and the Mrs' #2 ride. Nice and
forceful, managed to get two rides front row last december.

It's a great invert. I think it's one of the best (and tied with Kraken for the best general coaster in Florida).

Scenery was great! But my sister thought it was a kiddie ride and got lost... idiot, the ride was amazing through all 7
inversions!

This is probably No. 2 on my Inverted list, behind Alpengeist of course. Looks awesome! The fact that it has 7
inversions instead of 6 like Alpngeist makes it a very close race.

I got bored on Montu. No better than Nemesis there are some really good sections but the break run and after let it
down.

It was amazing. It felt like it was never going to end. I had my dad screaming his head off beside me and I loved every
second of it.

Such a smooth ride! Another one of my favourites, this would have been the first coaster with inversions that I ever
went on, were it not for the fact that I went on Kumba first thanks to a coin toss. :P Truely awesome ride.

The ride was intense and smooth and we literally walked onto the ride, the trains were only half full, I had quite a few
goes on it. The lack of que surprised me seeing as it was two days till memorial day.

Very intense. The batwing was also fun, being whipped around the top.

The best coaster I've been on to date. Never lets up and doesn't get old after riding multiple times.

This was a great ride. At the time, it was my tallest invert. Very intense in places, expecially the batwing. The
trench diving at the end of the coaster was pretty incredible as well, incuding that corkscrew out of one and into the
other.

Busch inverts are intense. The best parts are the zero-g roll and the Batwing

An excellent coaster and queuing for front row proves very rewarding. Very forceful, fast and smooth.V By the way,
Shiekra doesn't have a zero G roll

This thing is probably the crown jewel of Busch Gardens Africa. One of the best coasters around from the inventors of
the inverted coaster, Bolliger and Mallibard!

I think that this is my favorite roller coaster ever. It is the best to get re-rides on and the front row right seat is
THE BEST! Going over the first drop and just hanging there is amazing!

I went on Montu for my first time right before Christmas, and boy was it a present. The best part was the zero-g roll
where your head gets whipped to the right. Bravo Bolliger and Mabillard!

The trim brakes are kind of annoying, but that's one tiny little part of the ride.

I am the only one in my family who likes Montu! I guess it makes them sick! Anyway great theming and a perfect
complement to Kumba!

One of the best inverters ive ever been on. A fast ,long,intense ride. The close elements towards the ground are what
makes this coaster great, as well as the humungous first drop. Brill!!

In my opinion, this was better than SheiKra. This is because im kinda partial to inverts but god this thing was intense.
I got really dizzy after riding it 6 times in a row in 90 degree heat.
