Montu

Montu is B&M's inverted coaster in Egypt, packing seven inversions including a batwing, Immelmann and zero-g roll.

Montu suspends the train beneath the track, making every turn, inversion and tunnel feel unusually open. The ride strings together seven inversions, including an Immelmann, zero-g roll, batwing and corkscrew. Its Egyptian theme gives the coaster a ritual edge: tightly designed, fast and capped by a bird-of-prey dive on the first drop.

Theming

Montu refers to Egyptian mythology: a war god with a falcon's head. The ride turns that into sharp dives and the feeling of a suspended flight.

Typical wait time: around 15 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 30 min.

See more than 30 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
