kumba @ busch gardens africa

[caseemiranda82]

i started crying on this bad boy! it was AWESOME tho! once u get off the Congo River Rapids this roller coaster will dry u off! :) Kumbaa means "roar" in Swahili, and u can hear Kumbaa all the way across the park! :) <3

[garycbrown15]

@funandonly you just mad its not named Justin or Jesse, or some other white name!!! We run USA now!!!! Our president is black!! Hahaha!!!!

[garycbrown15]

@funandonly I'm black asshole, I bet yo white trash ass won't say that to a black persons face!!!

[nascarnut18]

LOL at 1:09

[hddr3]

this ride is an old one... it was very loud but very fun, it was the 2nd best ride ive ever been on

[Jakester523]

The roller coaster sound kind of like a lion.

[Enray]

I went on this ride this year; first roller coaster i'd ever been on. I walked off feeling like I could kill a lion barehanded

[d2flyyy]

@Enray Rofl.. I had a mad adrenaline rush after.. and I rode it 3 times because there was no line!

[roller12coaster]

wow. coolest ride ever seen!

[FunAndOnly]

looks fun but im not going to africa to ride it

[suttondan1]

its in tampa Florida, it is in the section of the park called the Congo

[FunAndOnly]

@suttondan1 the congo isnt in florida u dumbass

[Enray]

@FunAndOnly err yeah it actually is

[FunAndOnly]

@Enray no its not its in africa dumbass

[rcfan042]

@FunAndOnly It's based OFF Africa. The theme park's in Tampa, Florida. They only have two bush gardens: one in Williamsburg, Virginia which is based off the many sights in europe and one in tampa which is this one.

[DragonDark41]

@FunAndOnly its in florida but that part of the park is called africa. these things have african names.

[FunAndOnly]

@DragonDark41 i dont like things that are named after niggers

[DragonDark41]

@FunAndOnly its not

[FunAndOnly]

@DragonDark41 yes it is niger

[thesimposible]

the track layout looks really similar to bizarro at six flags great adventure

[stitchface6]

Kickass coaster, rougher than a lot of B&M coasters, but one of my top 20 for sure. Montu was even better.

[hhnguy]

This ride looks BA!

[Borak541]

Is this a B&M roller coaster? :D

[skaterbobo17]

@Borak541 yessir!

[stitchface6]

@Borak541 : Yep! One of their best classic sit-downs. I remember when this thing came out I was still scared of coasters. LOL

[Borak541]

@stitchface6 @Scaterbobo17  Thanks!

[breakdanza]

this ride was so much fun but Montu tops dem all!!

[XDawn117]

@breakdanza shei-kra tops em all

[squishy300]

I rode it once, it was cool :)

[justagirl113]

this was a fun one! i loved the Montu the best though

[Dancer8990]

is this a scary ride for people who dont go on rollercoasters much?

[DeLovely9109]

It's not so bad... I've only been on a rollercoaster once in 2009 before I went to Busch Gardens a few days ago, and I rode front row. The hardest parts are the inversions, but everything else is great =)

[BoozeFich]

@Dancer8990 I hate coasters but I loved this one!!! LOL

[Thekamillinair004]

no, my cousin is a little girl when it comes to rollercoasters, but kumba is th only rollercoaster hell ever go on......

[clg3210]

Any1 know when BGA is gonna get a Hypercoaster

[orionintelligence]

Fantastic roller coaster! Very nice, speed and with a good mix of inversions. Here in Italy not exist a roller coaster like this. We have a good inverted coaster, Katun, but our rollers are very simply than this...

[Tjtjboy]

wow i never seen a coaster that has the lift hill going through the verticle loop of the coaster until now. That is amazing

[five20sven]

this is one of the best rides i ever been on

[BEAGLE1226]

@five20sven , the best

[colarenee]

goin sunday cant wait!!!

[marinekid09]

Alright if you are afraid of roller coasters here is what to do ride SheiKra all the others will be easy as hell

[evanalmightyrocks]

damn right

[creolefreak22]

I haven't ridden Kumba since '95. Rode lots of coasters since, but Kumba's still the best. There's nothing else like it.

[6flgslover]

The coasters that old??? Didn't know!

[AfricanH3ro]

Looks fun. How many roller coasters does Busch Gardens Africa have?

[rollercoasterfan97]

6, there should have been 7 but python was removed.

Kumba

Montu

Gwazi

Sheika

Scorpion

Cheetah Chase

[ikcist993]

THE PART AT 1:17 stcick your hand out and you can touch the grass when it loops around to the right and it feels soooo cool.

[6flgslover]

How many inversions does this ride have again; I CAN'T WAIT 2 RIDE IT!!!

[rollercoasterfan97]

Seven.

in order:

Vertical Loop

Dive Loop

Zero-G Roll

Cobra Roll

Interlocking Corkscrews

[thwapper12]

wow...you live up to your user name lol

[rollercoasterfan97]

um yeah well im sure theres tons i dont know

[FunAndOnly]

@rollercoasterfan97 thats only 5 dumbass

[rollercoasterfan97]

@FunAndOnly

wow dude you really are the dumbass....

if you knew anything about roller coasters you would know that cobra loops and interlocking corscrews count as 2 inversions each.\

learn crap before you go insulting others ok?

[FunAndOnly]

@rollercoasterfan97 COBRA LOOP?! LMFAO theres no such thing as a cobra loop you fucking idiot

[migrations]

This roller coaster blew my MIND in fifth grade I still think it's the best ever.

[bassergolfer]

i used to love busch gardens, but i went to cedar point last week and im not sure if i would waste my time at busch gardens anymore(unless they make something like top thrill dragster)

[FizzySherbet]

I rode this 16 times in a row without getting off, because there was no queue. Amazing ride!

[Ringobjingo]

Did the same with Montu (only like 8 tho) because it was raining and they were nearing closing time. Rollercoaster, in the dark, in the rain!! Excellent! Rain stings though! lol

[killerrabbit725]

Kumba would be the best ride if it was inverted, like the Sheikra. I liked it none the less

[shiningstars109]

Sheikra is NOT inverted.

[dynamicz108]

What do ye mean this goes inverted a few times in corkscrew?

[jb222808]

what do u mean

[thoth622]

I think he means suspended...like how Montu is.

[6flgslover]

Not inverted???

[rollercoasterfan97]

nope. just sitting. although it is quite how sitting.

for lots of people their feet still dont touch the floor

[Neji4everrrrrrrr]

Kumba is Best than Montu =D Is More Long and More fast Kumba Suck .i.

[q0rnvirus]

i just came back form a field trip montu is THE SHIT

[crazycuties1]

okay every body i need u 2 answer a question 4 my friend ALL OF U ! is montu scarier that kumba ? and is kumba really fun ?

[vidcritic27]

Kumba is more "extreme" but Montu is really fun in the sense of turns. Montu and Kumba are rivals to be my favorite. I hope that helps.

[2likru]

IMO the Montu seemed more extreme and scary than the Kumba because of you feet free hanging. The Kumba is no kiddie ride though. Its an amazing coaster that to me simulates a a jet fighter in a dog fight. Lots of fun!

[cherycienta300]

Idk why people scream in the tunnel it just doesn't meke sense to me. i mean is just the same as if you where not in a tunnel u_u

[expl0d3r63]

i wnt yesterday for a field trip

[cherycienta300]

are you from walter c. young? i went on a field trip too, yesterday lol

[expl0d3r63]

no im from Ridgeview global studies academy

[roblesboi21]

I Love this Ride!!!

[13alexjessbreezy]

omg, i luv dis ride. da front row @ nite rox!!!

[MCRAFISP9]

in BGA and BGE, dosnt each ride have like a counter part in the other?

[Colelongo22]

i went on this yesterday... :)

[jboondock47]

yo i just went on this ride today

[VelvetKisses1986]

I swear this ride is possibly the only thing that makes me go back to Tampa Bay each year. Indecently, this was the first coaster I ever rode. Gotta love Kumba!

[Hurricoaster]

love this ride... went on it

[jhomeskillet2]

of the three times I went on this ride...everyone freaked out and screamed to the top of their lungs at the dark tunnel/cave at the very end.

[101202101]

and boy does that hurt...

[KH32009]

did u hit your head on the rock or something in the tunnel

[101202101]

No, but in the tunnel its extremely loud. The ride is self makes a loud roar, then people screaming

Put that in a small tunnel, and it gets deafning

[bcpix]

I liked all the Busch Gardens Rollers Coasters and thought the biggest surprise was Gwazi, the wooden roller coaster, which is a great ride!

[swettybettybob]

i went about 10 years ago and it's nice to see that kumba and montu are still going strong!!! 10/10

[trainlover93]

haha yeah i was there 3 days ago. dude scorpion is a joke kumba or montu is my 2nd favorite to sheikra

[genx589x]

[nickyviana]

[quitbullshittingme]

Toward the end when the train exited the final tunnel, it sounded like a bird from Critter Castaways was being strangled. LOL!

[Geojaguar]

I LOVE THIS RIDE!!! road it 6 times :D in a day

[ChibiKawaii3]

Oh snap! That looks like soooo much fun :D

[TehAnime]

[illegalkid2]

Lol, what kind of council housed response is that

[13alexjessbreezy]

i luv this ride even tho it gave me a headache!!!! it is my fav along with sheikra

[7CP]

u can hear RIGHT at the start somebody going "mom i wanna get off" then her going " it's okay baby , it's okay

[loveeaddict94]

that was my first upside rollercoaster, and it was PURE fun.

you couldn't even feel the drop, which was good for me.

(:

[M3SSY42]

This was my favorite ride!!! that Sheikra and montu. They are all great. the last turn on this ride is great. It pushes u in yr seat so much. Love it

[IloveIpods]

Frickin love this ride, rode it twice in a row.!

[teamwhitebread2]

"Kumba" means "Roar" in the African Congo language.

[oldrestless]

[cease2xist2]

Wow! WOW! What a stunning-looking ride. Intense and crazy looking thing!

[ModularFox]

It's Tampa

[welshkid246]

I LOVE CRISS ANGEL!!! :)

[superflyer87]

is this florida or virginia?

[gojacketsgo61]

florida im pretty sure

[Dominators300]

this i a kool ride to but i love montu

[chopingenius]

Great ride, no line, best zero-g-roll in the park. Sat in the front row. 10/10

[gemini787]

Great ride but it sure feels like its aging. Very ricketty and it give a headache. Not a smooth ride like Montu. But other than that its good. Many loops. I wish they could geta new train that is smoother and a nice paint job is also needed.

[COH1094]

that reminds me of the dragon khan in portaventura I remember when i was at vbush gardens Kumba was closed down for some reason

[RoxBro182]

i liked this more than the montu

found this too be a bit more thrilling

montu is kind of relaxing in my opinion

[selfdestructstarfuck]

relaxing!!?? that shit feels like your being tossed around like a ping pong ball!! this ones WAY better than montu!!

[rosy1186]

Was there july 4th and this is a great ride. Takes u upside down 7 x's

[sakuraninjagirl]

i like it but i like the montu you really dont fell da drop in kumba

[Hokie7548]

u guys should search montu its much better than this one.

[xfadeawayyx]

yeah, montu's my favorite ride at BG

then kumba is my second

[alca1992]

my personal favorite

[WiiMonster]

BEST COASTER EVER!

Rode 3 times in a row today!

[seedscum]

HOLY SCHNIKIES!!!

[Lianaiz]

Lmao. I was seven (21 now) when I rode that beast, and it was my very first rollercoaster. (I rode it 5 times that day, couldn't get enough!) I still remember it to this day. I had to look it up to show my husband and he's just shaking his head, telling me, "Hell no!" XD

[studioz87]

The turn at 0:41 is awesome!

[Drkxnessx4035]

yeah i love that turn!!!!

[karigo]

hats how i lost a necklace of mine, went right over my head!

[studioz87]

I love coasters but Kumba is the only one I walk out with a headache lol.

[BeachBoy1100]

i love this ride

[vickomf]

fastest ride ive ever being to :)

[icesk8]

i was ther yesterday and im trying to upload my video lol but it was difficult since we werent in the first row like these people =P...AWESOME RIDE THOOOOO!!! even tho i was scared to ddeath of droping my camera...

[YEE941]

this is a classic

[TennisBalls11]

o love this ride!!!!!! it's soooooo good!!!!! i went on it today! i had my arms up!!! YA!!! i was really happy that i got over my fear of coasters!!! they're so fun. i refused to go on sheikra

[sunsetvair]

im over my fear of coasters now i went on this AND sheikra you gotta go on it at least once

[skaterbobo17]

lol i heard a chris farley imitator :] hollyy schnikiess!!!

[jbfanxx16]

this ride is my all time fav at BG ,

but i LOVE montu and sheikra too .

just not as much (:

[grizzlylemon]

went on it 6 times as well!

(but not in a row)

sheikra is still the best of all

[LordMalice6d9]

Yeah but Kumba is the best in terms of waiting, most of the time you barely have to wait in line to get on Kumba.

[oldrestless]

sorry to bother you but what are the lines line in august. i'm going there, just curious.

[grahamc747]

August lines will be massive. Unless you go at night you're looking at an hours wait probably at least for most things.

[oldrestless]

that's terrible, suppose i must buy their quick-pass thing they just initiated. thanks for the head's up.

[karigo]

Right when the park opens is your best bet, i live right down the street from this park and after about noon is when the real crowd starts coming in. But before that your looking at a 0 minute wait for everything. We usually just stay on the ride a few times because no one else is in line!

[oldrestless]

Thanks for the tip unfortunately we're taking a shuttle from Orlando to Tampa and it prevents us from getting there for opening. I usually always line up at the gate at parks, just not this time.

[ironlung1028]

duuude i just went their 1 week ago, the only big lines are for the sheikra. any other coaster you wait 15 minutes MAX i swear.

[oldrestless]

thanks for reassurance, but school is still in session right? i go in august and their may be a difference, but I'm hoping you are correct.

[ironlung1028]

i actually just went yesterday and their was a bunch of kids running around with 2008 shirts on but still the only lines are for the sheikra. the kumba, montu and the gwazis never had much of a line. 10 minutes at the MOST!

[meatwadgunit]

the back row on this ride is amazing

[Essence81]

Omg! i'M GOIN THERE NEXT WEEK I'M NOT A BIG ROLLER COASTER PERSON...BUT I THINK I MIGHT TRY THIS ONE. IT LOOKS FUN!

[hopalong70]

My favorite ride there. The lines are usually short, so getting 2 or 3 rides in under 30 minutes is pretty easy.

[number1boricua]

i was here yesterday w00t w00t, best ride in bgardens

[haazmatt]

It's nice to get in free whenever I want! (I work at BG)

[Perfect10Gymnast14]

i litteraly went on that 6 times! IN A ROW

[pirateprincess1213]

I'm going tomorrow! Can't wait!

[Emokidlover54]

I went yesturday,OMG Kumba was awesome! i didnt want it to end v.v

[greekz03]

Damnnnn, I LOVE BUSCH GARDENS!! I can't wait 'till I visit again. I might be going with my friend and his family in a couple weeks. Sweet!!

[jessicaababesx]

god i can't wait to be there, 1 week to go.

[rukiXrosawere]

Just 1 month for me to go.YAY
