      Also, Cedar Point got a contracted "Zone of Exclusivity" with Raptor. For a certain number of years, parks within 300 Miles couldn't build a B&M invert. This is probably why Canada's wonderland (228mi.) and Kings island (170mi) didn't receive a B&M but Williamsburg (435mi) did

      I got to give Montu thumbs 👍 up for being the #1 invert in the USA. Better than Raptor, Banshee and Alpengeist. Riding this ride in those trenches did it for me. The pull out on every element in those trenches are so forceful. But the elements like the zero g roll is so graceful. It feels like a long ride. It's like B&M made the perfect invert and it went to the perfect park. You go Busch Gardens Tampa. I know you are striving for the best rides especially when you open Iron Gwazi. You got the best drop tower besides the new one at the park in Orlando and Drop zone at kings Island. All you need now is a top tie hyper or Giga coaster, a few more flat rides and a top tier single rail coaster and you will be my favorite theme park. Thanks Busch Gardens Tampa.

    The trenches on Montu add a foot-chopper effect, similar to head-choppers on traditional coasters. Totally worth it if riding in the front. Although you logically know it was built high enough to prevent contact, it is still nerve-racking and you reflexively want to pull your feet up. Also, the coaster is straight up intense and the theming is top-notch.

    I’m a FL resident (previously a Universal passholder) here to confirm that the Chinese Fireball track for Dragon’s Challenge was indeed better than the Hungarian Horntail track. It packed such a strong punch, and that airtime hill over the other track’s zero-G roll was one of my favorite elements ever. If I only had time to ride one of them during a visit, I would always pick the fireball. I was seriously upset to see them go.

    You're top 4 is literally the only 4 I've ridden lol. Definitely can't argue with your placement either, but I'd put Banshee at #1 just because Kings Island is my home park. I rode Afterburn for the first time just 3 years ago (that was actually my second visit to Carowinds after one in 2003). And then I rode Montu 2 years ago. Both of those I thought were amazing as well. Out of all of Kings Island's recent additions, I was most excited for Banshee. I wanted a KI invert ever since I rode Raptor for the first time in like 2006, but I always thought that was a "next level" kind of ride we'd never get...but now we have that, and our own giga.

      I thought they were too short to be good, but the only one i have ridden is at great adventure and it has a TERRIBLE setting. Plus, I waited over 2 hours for it so I had a hard time enjoying it.

    Happy to see you ranked Montu as #1. I grew up in Tampa with busch gardens as my home park and must have ridden it 100+ times. What I find a shame though is the that in the past decade or so they have been trimming the train's speed entering the batwing, and also have significantly increased the breaking force applied at the MCBR. If you search for the opening day footage from 1996(it's on youtube), you can see that neither of these things are in place and the result is the single most intense coaster experience I have yet to encounter. It's not all doom and gloom though, they do occasionally turn off the trim and the MCBR still. If you are ever in Florida during the cooler months of about November-March, take a trip to Busch Gardens. You might just luck out and get the holy grail on North American coaster experiences.

    I am so glad you made this! Inverts are my absolute favorite model from B&M with the sheer intensity and just all around fun that their layouts brings. Afterburn’s batwing element was simply incredible to experience from the back row and can’t wait to ride the remainder of the inverts I’m missing on my to ride list!

    • @kaijohnson5033
      @kaijohnson5033 2 года назад

      It’s an absolute shame that more inverts don’t have that batwing. It’s the sole element that puts Montu ahead of Raptor for me. It’s just out of this world intense.

  • @garminkid
    @garminkid 4 года назад +5

    Finally, someone else who prefers Raptor over Afterburn. Afterburn is just too short of a ride for me. I’ve always said that Afterburn with a real second half would be my favorite invert, and that was proven when I rode Montu for the first time. But going back to Raptor: it’s long, extremely intense, and has an awesome setting. I’ve ridden 112 coasters at several large parks (CP, KI, BGT, BGW, SWO, SFMM, Carowinds, etc), and Raptor is still a top ten coaster for me, and my second favorite at Cedar Point, my home park.

    • @TheSonicsean
      @TheSonicsean 4 года назад

    Nemesis is my absolute favourite! It tops Montu, just! Although it is only 13m (42.7ft) tall, it has a drop of 31.7m (104ft) due to it's location, being built in a pit about 30m (98.4ft) underground at some points with no footer being on the same level in the whole ride! The downwards helix is absolutely insane with sustained bone crushing intensity; and all 4 inversions (2 corkscrews, a zero-g roll, and a vertical loop) are incredibly whippy in both the front and back, with an extremely violent pre-drop off the lift hill too 🤣! As of when this comment has been posted, it is closed for the 2 year retrack, but will be back roaring again in 2024!

    I remember reading coaster reviews back in the 90s that lauded the Ice side of Dueling Dragons for “The wall,” the additional near miss provided by the cobra roll. But my friends and I preferred the fire side even as GP tweens. Didn’t hurt that there was basically no line for Fire so we could marathon it.

    I pretty much agreed/called this list until the end. When Banshee got 2nd, i was like whaaaaaa?!? But I haven't ridden Montu in a long time and it was my favorite before Banshee. Hopefully I'll get to ride it again this winter and re-evaluate. But I absolutely love the vest restraints on Banshee and it is soooooo smooth. And that zero g roll at the end, is sooo epic. So i'll be surprised if Montu can retake 1st but we'll see. As always great video and great editing. PS If you take Dueling Dragons as 1 combined coaster experience, it makes it #1 and all the more tragic. Thank you for including it in the list.
