Kumba POV Busch Gardens Africa Tampa Bay

[mysaviorisjesus20]

medusa is way better

[MrMcfat2]

I'm sorry, that is NOT a camelback at 0:19. It's a COBRA ROLL.

[MrMcfat2]

I have that video!!

[danamesdanny]

Dude im 12 and i used to watch this video when i was like 4 and 5 haha i still have it on vhs and just a few months ago i rode it it was pretty awesome.

[bmlguy]

You're giving me a headache!

[bmlguy]

Shut up Thunder Coaster!!!!!

[bmlguy]

Cool video dude. And when I rode it, I can't remember if I had a headache or not.

[TheThundercoaster]

The loop is 114 feet, not 108 feet.

[oster5000]

what are you talking about this didnt replace drachen fire

[bandman232]

BM rides are SOOOOOO loud.

[rfgstl]

@bandman232 > That's the BM roar...i love that sound.

[Hieagandaus]

This rides old,but still a good one

[MestizoFilipino]

Wish this coaster didn't have to replace Drachen Fire. Even though this coaster is awesome.

[megacoasterfan]

i've got this DVD also :D

[madhjsp]

They were definitely showing the cobra roll while talking about the camelback. Nice.

[dinoboy1998]

I really like Kumba and Montu!

[MsAwesomedude123]

@dinoboy1998 me too

[CommanderSavage]

The back seat of this ride is the best.

It goes so fast in the back.

[xMrBubblezz]

@CommanderSavage If the back went faster than the front the whole coaster train would crash

[Bigl11]

lol i live 10 minutes away from here lol

[Hieagandaus]

wow i got on kumba,shiekra and montu under 5 min. really!all 3 of them are B&M'S but the place wouldn't be the same if they just kept scorpian and python

[bubblesslr]

One of the best rides i have ever been on! Only Montu can better this but not by much!

[courtneygiirl]

i rode this yesterday front row hand up!!!

[rollercoasterfan97]

i hope this hasnt lost its 'bling' over the years. they should make it floorless! in fact i think all B&M sit down coasters should be made floorless just to give that better experience

[AvatarNub]

floorless hulk... ooo id love to see that :o

[shamutrainer87]

Is this show still showing?

[HCVS13]

I found that I bump my head against the restraints quite alot, on coasters like Mantis, Raptor, and Kraken. It's just the design of B&M over-the-shoulder restraints. If find that if I don't want to bash around, I hold on to the handles, keep my head back, and follow into the turns. It makes for a much smoother ride. I remember getting off Mantis after bashing around once, I felt so dizzy I couldn't stand, much less walk the entire lenghth of the park back to our car. :)

[rollercoasterfan97]

im not sure about raptor as i found that very smooth with very very little head bashing, but i couldnt agree with you more on mantis. the restraints come down more near your head than your shoulders, so you really can get a good bashing. as for kraken, i havent been onit, but ive been on hydra and medusa, other floorless designs and found them to be immensely comfortable! i guess that was just me, though

[Xgymnast94X]

i was at the front of that ride!!! AND my dad lost the car AND house keys!!!!!!!!!!!

[MUR4LD1NH0]

btw you musnt go in the summer every1, in the summer yu NEED NEED to get a fast pass to get in under 10 mins.

[MUSICANDDANCEROCK]

that is true most of the time there isnt any line like when my school went like the whole sixth grade that went to bush gardens including me went on it at the same time.

[ukprince9]

There's never a line on this thing. You can go on it 5 times in 10 minutes.

[oshilzl]

cuz ppl are too afraid to go on it

[ukprince9]

You sure about that? There are hour long lines for Sheikra and Montu and those are far scarier than Kumba.

One thing I will say about Kumba is that it hurts to ride it. You'll bash your head a few times before it's over. But, for some reason, I enjoy that!

[oshilzl]

yeah for some reason it's a really scary ride

[AllStarDeal79]

wow i must have gone on a good day! Lol all of the rides except sheikra i got on in under 10min. So i rode them non stop!

[TheJonny428]

Montu's not that scary actually. I like this ride a lot more

[LiiLMZzSEXii]

yeah i went on that one, it was sooo awesome. but u get a huge headache because ur head keeps hitting the big seatbelt around ur head

[sarahg239]

there is no big seatbelt around your head

its called a harness :)

i would know,i go to Bush Gardens alot.

[LiiLMZzSEXii]

Well, Whatever it is, i just didnt know the name

[MLeyden91]

Awesome ride!

I came off that with a pounding headache, but it was WELL WORTH IT!

The track is all scratched up now, needs another re-paint!

[cheerboyrichie]

@MLeyden91 I didnt come off of it with a head ace it was awesome!

[CoasterFan927]

this is a very enderated coaster, im a very big cedar point fan but i have to say that this and montu and wayyy better than raptor AND mantis

[NAVYVICK]

KUMBA!!! The UNCHALLEGED GODFATHER of modern roller coasters

[OMGFOCKR]

The last tunnel turn is still unmatched

[r0guePro]

this used to be one of my top rated roller coasters untill i met the incredible hulk at islands of adventure

[harryweeniewart]

i love kumba especially front row...omg...whole new experience

[coastermaniac0]

Lol it was shiny at this time! Kumba needs a paint job.

[dragonsandthings]

What does it being called Kumba have to do with the wheels?

[Mndeermndeerhunter29]

I could Here it ROARING MAN

[californiansteven]

tkumba is basically a knock-off version of scream..or vice versa...btw ive been on both, and i think kumba is better...its just the setting is nicer..scream had no theme..it was just put on the extra parking lot literally..

[ElToroisamazing]

Kumba was built 10 years earlier.

[californiansteven]

which is why i said "or vice versa"

[whsclass2011]

scream is a floorless coaster. not a sit down twister coaster

[californiansteven]

yes i know i used to live 4.5 miles from six flags.

[OJ247]

I thought Scream! was a knock of version of Dragon Kahn.

And Dragon Kahn in just an improved Kumba.

[WrathOfFlame]

No, Dragom Kahn is more like Kraken at seaworld, but Kraken has a better theme and setting, and a lake near the first drop, thats a good ride to me.

[crazychris93]

Other way round. And what you're saying about the setting is completely wrong. I'd rather see Khan with the great wall of china and an imperial village area than a lake which can be found anywhere, and some ruins which can also be found on any existing ride.

[Petpatrol2]

Scream isnt a Kumba knockoff, Scream is a mirror version of Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure. And while all this company's coasters are similar to each toher in one way or another, theyre not copie or knockoffs or whatever.

[TheThundercoaster]

@Petpatrol2 they arent copies because they are all B&M

[Petpatrol2]

@TheThundercoaster

1) I didn't say they're copies. I said Scream is a Mirror version of Medusa, which it is.

2) Even B&M Makes copies sometimes, the batman: The Ride coasters are all clones.

[TheThundercoaster]

@Petpatrol2 Yes you are correct. Kumba,medusa,bizarro,scream,kr­aken,dragon khan all have different layouts, (except for scream and bizarro),yet the order of when each inversion appears is the same. Loop, dive loop, zero g roll,cobra roll, and interlocking corkscrews,(sometimes a second loop),. I still wouldent say that B&M copied there own coasters, because the batman coasters are not custom, it is actually an official model layout. Things like manta are custom, so no rides can be the same as it

[Lycan2026]

I LOVE the sound of the wheels going along the track. I'm addicted to it! LMAO! Guess that's why they call it Kumba.

[locolococoffeeman]

i love busch gardens africa

i loveee the shikrea

[Superdeduper739]

its actually called a cobra roll, not a camel back

AND

that looks like fun and suicide mixed together

[caiovsf]

now dominator has the tallest vertical loop

[TheThundercoaster]

@caiovsf dominator does not have the tallest, it has the largest.

[godzillagodzilla28]

this coaster does not look as good today as it used to, its really shakey, but still really fun!

[papermm]

LoVe this RiDE

[OmegaKitchism]

Good coaster... made funky noises when I was on it tho XD Freaked me out

[Quagmire8896]

Kumba doesn't have the worlds tallest vertical loop... but great video

[Gshoven]

it did at the time this video was made

[Mechum22]

@Gshoven When Kumba opened, Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain still had the world's tallest loop (140 feet); Kumba had the world's "largest" loop, the distinction having to do with the radius of the vertical loop (or track length of the maneuver or something), because Viper's loop, despite being high off the ground, is still average in size. Kumba's loop begins and ends right around ground level.

[TheThundercoaster]

@Quagmire8896 they did not say tallest, they said largest.

[TheThundercoaster]

@Quagmire8896 they said largest, not tallest. And it did have the tallest and largest when this was made.
