The description below is a work in progress.

Kumba opened in the Congo section of the park in April 1993. [1] It was billed as the largest steel coaster in the southeast when it opened. [2]

Wow Let me attempt to dust the cobwebs off of this forum. So I've only been to BGT in 2001-2002. Can't wait to get back. At that time though Kumba was my favorite ride at the park. Her Diving loop and Zero g roll still remain towards the top of my favorite inversions list. Something about sitting on the far right seat, or left I'm not sure, coming out of the Zero g roll and you look like your gonna hit the building there. Also has a helix that's tied for my favorite all-time with Raptor. Anyways, anybody ridden this lately who can tell me how it's running?

I rode it in November during the week of the IAAPA convention.

It's still amazing as ever!

Thanks Unagi. That's great to hear. Classic ride. I remember getting to ride 7 times in a row on a slow day. Great memories.

Ironically, that's a view you can't get unless you either work at the park or get to walk down the lift after a ride stop.

Or ride back row and turn around.

Would hate to be in BGT right now. I've never seen a 100 minute wait for Kumba.
