Meaning roar in Swahili, Kumba is a 143 foot (43.5m) tall B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) sit-down coaster with seven inversions, including a 114 foot (35m) tall vertical loop, a dive loop, a zero-g roll, a cobra roll and two interlocking corkscrews. The vertical loop wraps around the lift hill and only two other B&M coasters have this feature. Do you know which coasters those are and where they're located?

B&M was so far ahead of their time, This coaster opened in 1993... can you imagine how much better this coaster was than the average coaster in 1993? Crazy.

@Italianstallion813 5 лет назад

Nate Kenny damn bro that’s so true lol I guess I’d never thought of that before. And it’s still holding its own in 2019 and fun as shit

@kaydnburns5935 4 года назад

Shit it’s the best B&M every made in my opinion. It literally makes people pass out, it pulls 3.8g’s and consistently through that cobra roll and half loop

I try to ride it in 1994 and I was so young they don't let me. I dream to that day until 1997 a finally did. One of my favorite coaster until today

Batman really put them on the map and then they had one hit after another: Kumba, Chang, Raging Bull, Medusa. The 90s definitely belonged to B&M.

One thing I love about Kumba and Montu is how intricately they are woven into the surrounding environment. So many coasters are just hunks of exposed steel in an otherwise empty lot. IMO the scenery here is almost as important as the ride itself!

Especially Montu

@-AxisA- 5 месяцев назад

There's a word for this and it's "Theming"!😄 Some very well themed coasters are: Velocicoaster, Hagrid's Motorbike Ride & any coaster at Phantasialand, like Taron & F.L.Y .

@mrsantana9094 2 года назад

At 2:34 you see those rails at the bottom of the track? On days when it’s not busy, they only use one train. They store the second one by stopping there and the track slides right. They use that shed on the right to store the cars. Now you know this neat little secret. The ride also behaves different when running in two train mode. Right near the end of the ride it will stop but with only one train it pretty much continues through slowly.

One of the best landscaping jobs around a roller coaster Ive ever seen. Not so much from what you see while on the coaster but the last part, the double corkscrew. On ride looks ok. But when in the queue for the ride, you go by that section where you are looking at the corkscrew in the nice green grass. Looks so awesome.
