How good of a ride is Montu ?
I rode montu in 98' and I absolutely loved it! I especially likt the tunnel after the first loop I thought I was going to get my arm chopped off if i let it hang out to the side! :) I give it a 10. It's my favorite invert but I've only ridden Top Gun at PGA and BTR.

Its been castrated by the trims. It used to be a brilliant ride. The only inverts i like better are Fire Dragon, Volcano, and Alpie so obviously, i still like it a lot.
And whoever said that alpie looks like a larger version of Raptor......the rides are not even close to eachother. But i will let the rides speak for themselves once you ride alpie. TRUST ME. they are VERY different. ;)

What is that suposed to mean? You are an idot. Montu has the coolest elements and layout of any invert. it seems to me like you have never ridden it. I read your sig. and it seems that you are really trying too hard to be sarcastic.

1. What is that supposed to mean? I was merely trying to point out to a mod that you are calling people things such as "retarded." It offends me, and it shouldn't be happening here. Some people have differeing opinions then you, and you need to get over that.
2. It seems to me that I HAVE ridden Montu. Sorry pal.
3. I found in very funny that in attempting to call me an "idiot" you called me an "idot." Irony at its finest.
4. You are a troll, plain and simple. get over yourself.

Clarkbar/Ravenguy:
Trims were added to Montu because it was running *too fast.* ALL the trims do is bring Montu back to the original speed it was intended to run at.
The trims ''ruining'' the ride is just your imagination.
I think Montu would say to you two, ''It's mind over matter...I don't mind, and YOU don't matter.''

This is a quote from an employee who did/does the control system for Montu:
''Maintenance has no control over how the trims are set on Montu. All trimming is controlled by
the control system and is fully dependent on the speed of the train. However, maintenance can change the wheels which also does affect the speed of the train.''
There ya have it. Trims CONTROL the ride's speed and keep it running the way it's SUPPOSED to. Not
faster or slower. The same. Get over it and quit whinin'.
I hate whiners.

I rode what i rode. Who cares if its mind over matter? Aren't coasters purely psychological anyway?

Errrhh, sorry, Montu was that fast it impaired my brainnnn.
The fact that you (a moderator) use terms like retarded is disgusting. I rode Montu for the first time in October 2000, and it I thought it was slow. My opinion, and several others - SO COPE!

My apologies to Neil the moderator, I made a mistake - what do you expect from a retard!
Of course the moderators are not insensitive morons, but maybe the odd one or two members are!

Wow,this thread is just loaded with heavy testosterone so,i am going to throw in my estrogen based two cents.;) For starters,How many of you who haven't ridden something and visit a new park for the first time are going to pass up any coaster because someone said it wasn't good??I personally will try every single coaster whether i've seen bad reviews or not.I am planning my first trip to Cedar point this year and even though alot of people said the woodies there are less then wonderful,you bet your butt i'm going to ride them and see for myself anyway.My advice to you Titan Fan,see for yourself,what you feel is a 10 rate coaster may not be to someone else so,it is so obvious on this entire forum that everyone has differant things they like about coasters and,that's fine,i think it's great to hear how passionate someone is for a particular coaster but the ones who dislike them also play into my curiosity.The parks spend millions to build these things and even the worst coaster at a park still gets a line because people have to try it for themselves :)I really wish people would stop bashing each other here,Jeff works really hard on this sight for us all and i'm sure he is tired of threads like this.

Too much is simply NOT ENOUGH..."
I don't really know what there is to explain. Virtually every facet of roller coasters hinges on perceived danger, adrenaline, etc.....
why else would we ride coasters? the whole point is the thrill, the rush, and that is purely psychological.

Sounds like you guys have nothing better to do than make fun of a kid on the internet. wow, sounds like you all have an exciting life. especially ravenguy, it seems like you put a lot of time into a little post to sound funny. Go outside and do something with yourself. I rode Montu when it was raining. i had a different experience. simma.
