Your right about the Hulk. The launch is pretty nostalgic and has a nice sensation, especially in the front row. But the rest of it is pretty lifeless. It gets slightly interesting after the mcbr with a couple of the turns producing a couple of pops of air but thats about it.

Best coaster in Florida in my opinion, in operation of course, is Montu. There's some absolutely savage g's in the batwing, the zero g roll is spectacular and i love the drop into the second loop. EVERYTHING in fact is awesome, and its my 3rd favorite out of 197.
I think it could do with a lick of paint and maybe a re-theme, but its still awesome.

I want to go out there so bad now! (start saving [lol])


You must have ridden it before trims because as it rides now I find it has a huge wasted POS and pretty far down on my list (almost last among B&M inverts). Kumba is sooo much better and both Dragons are way more forceful now :(

^Yes, Kumba seems faster now, and it's definitely faster than Montu. I'm liking it more than Montu now, with it's awesome layout, more G's, and pretty colors!

Kumba was running better than ever... easily my favorite there.

Montu's trims pre-Batwing actually didn't bother me a lot. The inversions are still ridiculous! I think without them it would be a tad much.

Really? I've been on Montu more than you have throughout the years. I have ridden the B:TR clones. I have been on Silver Bullet, Raptor, Great Bear, Aplengeist, and Dragon Challenge. I can easily say that Montu beats out every one of these rides even with the trim before the batwing. The trim does not even significantly effect the overall experience of the batwing on Montu, and the fact you are calling it a POS shows you are an "anti-trim" pussy. Honestly, just enjoy the ride for what it is, especially if it's a world-class ride like Montu.
Oh, were you expecting something here?

I've been on every invert in the country and Montu is near the bottom, sorry. It just doesn't have the intensity on rides such as Afterburn, Flight Deck, every BTR, Talon, Raptor, Dragon Challenge, etc...

And I'm only anti-trims if they take away from the ride...and for inverts what makes them good is the speed (relative) and the forces, and the trim on Montu kills the batwing and the mcbr near-stoppage kills the 2nd half which is INCREDIBLY boring.

You could be on every roller coaster ever made, every roller coaster that has been torn down and every roller coaster that hasn't opened yet...

...your opinion is still your opinion, lmao.

Correct^, your opinion is your opinion Jakizle, but your still wrong haha [lol]!
I prefer Montu to Kumba, not to say Kumba is not a good coaster, its awesome. Montu's just so much more intense, and i prefer that to Kumba's slightly more graceful layout. But thats just my opinion.

Never seen someone on CC who could spell Alpengeist right, lol.
All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.

^^I guess you haven't been there recently lol. Kumba is now more intense than Montu. I think Montu has stayed the same, but with Kumba's repaint (not sure if it affects it or not), new wheel set, and other refurbishments, it's really intense now! Lots of positives everywhere.

No matter what, it's always spelled incorrectly to my computer, Alpengeist/Aplengeist, lol.

Thank you, this isn't an opinion, it's a fact. No forces were felt on Montu at all this year, while Kumba kicked ass every single time.
