Monte Makaya, Steel roller coaster at Terra Encantada, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Monte Makaya extends 2,624 feet in length and reaches heights of 121 feet while achieving maximum speeds of 49.7 miles per hour during its course.

The steel roller coaster opened on January 16, 1998, at Terra Encantada and matched Dragon Khan's record with its eight inversions at that time.

The attraction was positioned in the Terra Africana section of the park, reflecting the regional themes integrated throughout Terra Encantada's layout.

The roller coaster accommodates 28 riders per cycle in seven cars with two rows, requiring passengers to meet a minimum height of 51 inches.

The track features a triple heartline roll sequence, followed by a downward helix and banked hill before reaching the final brake section.
