MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress roller coaster

MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress, previously known as Montezooma’s Revenge, is a shuttle roller coaster located at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, United States. Designed by Werner Stengel and built by Schwarzkopf Industries GmbH, the ride opened to the public on May 21, 1978. Prior to 2022, it was one of eight flywheel-launched units around the world and the oldest looping shuttle coaster still operating in its original location. Montezooma’s Revenge closed in early 2022 for a major refurbishment. Originally scheduled to reopen in 2023, MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress had its reopening postponed several times due to construction delays, with the ride eventually reopening on August 6, 2026.
