Montezooma's Revenge off-ride HD Knott's Berry Farm

[Believer906]

I heard that this ride has lapbars instead of the over the shoulder bars, is it safe when you go upside-down? Please reply, I've been dying to go on this :)

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Believer906 Yes. It's been like that for nearly 35 years, so yeah, it's safe.

1:06 Something about the train sounds just..... a bit off.  I can't quite put my finger on it, but that sound to me.... Idunno.

[RollerCoastersRule1]

@RocketRodder It does sound a little different huh? :o It doesn't sound dull anymore, it sounds like metal?

There use to be one at King's Dominion then that went to Jolly Roger in Maryland and then it went to Alton Towers and now is in Brazil. I also love it how this coaster is named after a type of diarrhea XD

[nintendork2001]

@TheSupersonicmadness It's not named after a type of diarrhea. Any amusement park company with sense would know better than to do that; that would simply put off visitors, which would screw the park into nothingness.

[TheSupersonicmadness]

@nintendork2001 Montezooma's Revenge is a nickname for travellers diarrhea, but I'm sure most of the general public wouldn't even know that ;)

[13shifter]

[luriemu1]

Woah, not that secure seats, huh?

[acquaz10]

@luriemu1 it is lap bars. that is all the ride needs.

[SuperBlackFreak]

@luriemu1 I think no Schwarzkopf-Loopink-Coaster has thoose. Nessie @ Hansa-Park(Germany) hasnt thoose secure seats too^^

[dorplein62]

one has a flywheel lauch and the other a dropweight ?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@dorplein62 @Phailsku Yes, Greased Lightnin. uses a weight drop launch & this one has a flywheel launch system.

[ttam23ps3]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom can you tell me how this launches work

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ttam23ps3 Simply put - a large wheel is spun at high speeds, which is attached to a cable that propels the train forward when the clutch is released.

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@boxerpupz We posted the on-ride POV video of the coaster on this channel quite some time ago. /watch?v=yZPhWV35tWc

[Phailsku]

Montezumas revenge launches with a flywheel instead of a weight drop system?

[Davygotabutt]
