NOW OPEN!

First launched in 1978, Montezooma's Revenge holds the honor of being the world's first flywheel-launched roller coaster and remains the oldest shuttle loop coaster still standing at its original site.

For over four decades, this exhilarating landmark has catapulted countless thrill-seekers through Fiesta Village, propelling them through a gravity-defying loop and back again.

Reemerging with a fresh, stunning new look and a compelling storyline, the revamped coaster has officially reopened as MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress, inviting a new generation of thrill-seekers to embark on an unforgettable expedition in search of Montezuma’s elusive gold.

  • Guests walk toward a carved stone temple archway beside a wooden sign reading "MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress" decorated with skulls in conquistador helmets.
  • A coaster train full of riders ascends straight up a vertical red track spike, framed by carved stone ruins and green foliage.
  • A full coaster train glides along green tracks past spectators behind a wooden fence, with stone temple ruins and the blue Supreme Scream tower visible in the background under a clear sky.
  • A coaster train styled with an ornate snake-headed front car speeds along green track, carrying shouting and laughing riders in motion-blurred action.
  • Low-angle view of red coaster track curving up into a vertical loop against a bright blue sky and pine trees.
