Kumba Front Row Seat on-ride POV Busch Gardens Tampa

[BAMFNSNLOVER]

My favorite ride! Not scary at al!!!!!!!!!!

[thefirstofmykind]

been on this ride 1994!!!!!! jesus and its still working!

[tff1293]

This is almost an identical track layout to the floor-less roller coaster bizaro (formerly medusa) at six flags great adventure in Jackson NJ.

[ccaruso81]

It's a little old, but one of my all time favorites. What a great coaster.

[CallOfDutyJJ]

yeah Ive got to say the track didnt look like that When I went on it they definetly redid it.

[CallOfDutyJJ]

This ride is amazing

[DonutVIP]

RIDE WORRIER

[allykap]

It reminds me of Riddlers Revenge at sfmm with a cobra roll, without the incline loop, and you sit down

[Kstar625]

I watched this video to c how the ride was like....I'm not going on it, to many twists and loops:(

[0541supergirl]

my sister that is 7 years old want to go on this and on shekira and montu but she to small and we mite go to bush gardenns this saturday and last time we went she was to sall but i think she has grown so i think she can go on now well see !!!

[MrTdd6443]

dang man so raw

[will101page]

one word: Khan.

[MNHockeyRulz]

That ride is awesome. I was so dizzy i couldnt walk straight for awhile

[greenglue345]

HOW ARE THEY NOT SCREAMING?!

[gjthmgjhkm]

One benefit of living in Tampa

[12rollercoasterfreak]

@NatalieSproat13 How is this the least bit boring???

[markysharky17]

Kick ass ride. My fav

[NatalieSproat13]

not scary. borinng ride.

[Matoki105]

מגניב נשמע כיף ומפחיד

[DylanSprousSonicAnim]

i have been on that ride its not scary

[buehrleman1]

This is the easiest of the three headed busch garfens monster.

[EclareLover]

Great ride. I lovedddd it.

[ZMan036]

Is this smoother than Raging Bull at Six Flags Great AMerica? Because I want to go here one day.

[crazydud619dx]

@ZMan036

This is a bit rougher then Raging Bull because it is old (built in 1993) but it still provides a smooth ride.

[ZMan036]

@crazydud619dx thank you!

[redmaxygirl453]

wow, this is one long coaster

[rogeriojunior159]

legau

vlw e.u.a

[kerrigan621]

Im gonna ride that

[Epicvideos333]

id be scared to ride that. its all..Rusty..

[JiGe96]

@Epicvideos333 It's not anymore. It was repainted. Also, it doesn't really matter if it is. In my country, we have thos coaster which on all the paint has ''fallen'' off and it's a bit rusty and dirty here and there but it's still perfectly safe. They would not operate a coaster if there was any doubt about the rides safety.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Epicvideos333 @JiGe96 The coaster has been completely overhauled. Check out our updated on-ride HD POV video that we posted on this channel to see what it looks like now. /watch?v=9QhDWRaGjiY

[nuclearthreat545]

@Epicvideos333 You're dumb, this is the best ride ever. 

[Epicvideos333]

Did anyone notice that this ride is also on the nolimits demo...LOL!

[mkeejsimmons]

cool did u brought cmera or phone

[shaqman145]

Don't touch the grass when you go through the helix... it hurts!

[NotoriousEspada]

How are sitters different from flooress??

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@NotoriousEspada Sitters are more traditional trains with side panels & floors, whereas floorless coasters are completely open without anything on the side of the trains & no floors (obviously).

[dragonkhanrider]

Answering to your description... I think I like Dragon Khan more than Kumba, but it was very very hard to decide. Both are awesome and unique. I think I like Dragon Khan because of his off ride view too...

Also, I like the transitions of kumba between elements more than in DK. That's why is a difficult decission...

Sorry for my english.

[MrChaos010]

Kumba means roar forget what langage

[awbtube]

Been on this loads but went on his once when it was hailing hurt like nothing els when going around

[gadgetlego302]

This is awesome. It should be as famous as bizzaro. They're basically the same!

[K1ngZAS98]

ok this looks like kraken! and ive been on kraken but this looks kinda faster

[jackchrisevans]

I'm going to Florida soon and this'll be the first time I've been 2 busch gardens in years! My favorite B&M sitter tho is kraken @ sea world. The first drop at the beginning fills u with adrenaline!!

[Skullangelx3]

@jackchrisevans Umm, the Kraken is a floorless coaster....smh.

[CelineDionFan4568]

this ride is fucken awesome. when did it first open?

[xr4wrf34rm3x1]

Dhis ride makesz me extremely dizzy<3

[MitchIsFilipino]

this kinda looks like riddlers revenge in magic mountain but that ride is stand up

[glasgowrangers619]

This ride is amazing so underrated. Went on it 6 times in about 30 mins im 11 went on it with my friend love busch gardens. I would recommend this to everyone

[iFilmz21]

Going tomorrow. I haven't been on this one yet, both times I've been here it's been closed. Hopefully it's open!

[glasgowrangers619]

@iFilmz21 It's amazing you will love it

[superaquaocean]

@nolimitsdude1200 the ride is super smooth and now they repainted it so ya!! :)



[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@nolimitsdude1200 It's smooth & this is an old video. If you watch our newer HD POV video of this coaster you'll see that it's not rusty anymore.

[theaterqueen95]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Is this smoother than Hulk? I want to ride this, but I don't want to get the same headache I got on Hulk, haha

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@theaterqueen95 Both coaster are considered smooth. Don't know why you got a headache on Hulk.

[bottlecap737]

How does it get over that loop at the beginning? It looks like it's higher than the first hill!

[PandaFresh727]

nobody was screaming... so i guess its boring

[RiLeY2011]

This layout is so overused with just different transitions. scream, superman, medusa(whatever the new name is)...

[ravel111]

@RiLeY2011 true, but I think this is the original, and the rest followed suit. I've heard this one is the best of them all though.

[Tonytambe]

This ride looks a little rusty.

[famguy509]

I've been on this, Dragon Khan and the Hulk Coaster and i think that they are all awesome! I can't decide which one is the best!

[JiGe96]

Yet another must-ride. *Sigh* How am I going to afford this?

[BigG01234]

REPAINT!!!! LOL

[afalconer7]

I could ride this all day. This is Ann awesome coaster. 2nd best. (1st is montu)

[bigrcracerkid256]

I absolutely love this thing. I always ride it when i go, best ride there.

[CutThroatKid123]

whats b&m ive been on kumba and hulk is it the boost bit?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@CutThroatKid123 B&M stands for Bolliger & Mabillard, the coaster manufacturer.

[paralyzed103]

so basically it's a copy cat of raptor at cedar point only on the raptor the track is above the train

[munchways]

wow, that things rusty ! :L

[kaledean1]

is this coaster rough?



[JuicySparkle007]

I like Dragon Khan! This ride is great too! :)

[cantbackdown123]

it is just the color of the sides or are they rusty

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@ironspooner2 Time Machine at the defunct-ish Freestyle Music Park.

[CoolChaChaD]

My group rode this about 10 times during our school field trip! AWESOME RIDE!!!

[twobimmers]

B&M=?

[CoolChaChaD]

@twobimmers Yes it is! You can tell because it has their signature pre-drop, and it seats 4 across. B&M coasters are the best!!

[twobimmers]

@CoolChaChaD nonono...communication error...i was asking wat b&m means...im assuming its the manufacturer of the coaster

[CoolChaChaD]

@twobimmers Oh, yeah. Boliger and Malibard. I think that they're German.. They did Hulk, Dragon Challenge, Sheikra, Montu, Kraken, and a ton of other coasters.

[Mikeb1001]

@CoolChaChaD Also has the signature interlocking corkscrews!

[CoolChaChaD]

@Mikeb1001 My favorite of which being the one on Dragon Challenge. Hoping that it'll be dueling again soon.

[SovietSPF1]

looks like riddlers revenge at six flags magic mountian

[aznmafia77]

cool coaster, i love the jungle theme.

[Jonnybowden0]

Best ride I've been on, just so god damn forceful it's unbelievable!!!

[MrBigfoot27]

this is almost exactly like bizaro in six flags great adventure

[Future6556]

ive been to bucsh gardens 1 hundred times. and i never heard of this ride

[JsJ1212]

@Future6556 BG Africa in Tampa???

[Future6556]

@JsJ1212 never heard of it

[claireabbazia101]

I'm going on that ride today for the first time! xD

[23airjordanfreak]

i wanna go on a ride that goes like 90. Like kingda ka is fun, but its over after you blink. I want a fast coaster with lots of hills. I WISH I COULD GO ON MILLENIUM FORCE

[sampskaretu]

the track looks useless!!!



[alex6634]

I went on it Friday! :D It was so fun

[314hammie]

3 people fell out of the rollercoaster

[glasgowrangers619]

This coaster is awesome im from the uk and when i went to busch Gardens i went on it 6 times in a row i was 11 at the time

[ClaysWorld700]

loud but fun and wildfire and the incredible hulk dont count because of launch and floorless type cars

[Failure235xx]

Damn i went on all of the rides in busch gardens and im only 11 Wow!!

[nibbles20831]

this thing is as loud as 1,000 lighting bolts! Like if you agree!

[seanomatopoeia]

When this opened way back when, the world had never seen anything like it. What has become the cliche B&M formula was unique and awe-inspiring. It's a shame that B&M gave up in the late 90s, trading in the intense, brilliant early rides for forceless wastes.

[rollercoasterfan97]

@seanomatopoeia what is forceless about B&M?

i hate when people comlplain and complain its so annoying. B&M still make plenty of amazing rides past, present and future

[Selena4Ever1254]

I went on it two times in a row. I wanted to go on it again (that would be three times in a row), but my parents were too dizzy to go on it again. ha ha! well, there's always next time!

[TheJedigir]

why does b&m no longer manufacture sit down coasters anymore? theres only this, wildfire, dragon khan, and the incredible hulk.

[jacobman76]

i went on this AWESOME!

[coolcat10fromecobuds]

i absolutley LOVE the colour of this roller coaster :D

[meanboy305]

When i rode this Ride, some said, This Is better than the Sex i had last night....

[xBloodyxJellox]

this ride in the dark is amazing

[BruceDaOldSchoolHead]

Is it rusty as hell or is that the paint?

[abcbassabc]

@BruceDaOldSchoolHead paint

[steckje]

how tall do u hav to be to ride?

[princesskatalicious]

This ride is a true classic and a must ride if you go to Busch Gardens. I live 5min from it! It's better than the Hulk IMO. It's smoother, and better paced.

[TagTeamCast]

i went on this five days ago yet my dad went on it when it opened

[F22RaptorAttack]

I prefer Diamondback over the others...but that's because I haven't ridden an other B&M sit down coasters...although I plan to in a few summers with a friend of mine.

[awsome6423]

LOVE THIS COASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FLAHighFlyer]

Its So Loud And Fast OMG. Louder Than The Hulk i Think

[westiesinwonderland]

this was my first roller coaster i ever rode :)

[BoiJohneh]

this is my favorite ride at bushgardens



[Mijelic22]

do you recommend this coaster who is going to BGT for the first time?

[potkettle]

@Mijelic22 absolutely yes! This is one of the best coasters I've ever been on. Even the noise it makes is incredible.

[ModestyBeautyHijab]

i miss Florida so much in fact when your driving to the park on the highway you can hear the screams of the people on this one and you can see it its to funny!

[legomaster2427]

cheetah hunt is finished ride it!!!

[popsicle589]

for some reason i feel sooooooo badass after riding this

[elikaykay]

my all time favorite rollercoaster...! :)

[iBmxKiD]

My favorite ride at Busch Gardens ! I go to ride it almost every weekend !

[Ruxor7950]

This ride is exactly like Scream at SFMM.

[gldlt999]

i have been on this, its such a mint ride :)

[JenLovee3]

I was on this 2 years ago during a rain storm and the very top was struck by lightening straight after we got off (:

[crappi2]

wow man evry1 was so quiet* in the ride weird

[krgrubbs]

I rode this in 1993 I was 9 yrs old. It was fantastic

[Rct3Mad300]

This has to be one of the best B&M Sitdown Coaster Which I have Ridden :)

[mlovingmm]

lol i love this ride but Montu takes the gold!! :/

[MulleniumForce]

how many inversions does this do?



[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MulleniumForce 7

[kaledean1]

@MulleniumForce what is an inversions.

[MulleniumForce]

at 1:12 someone having sex?

[nibbles20831]

@MulleniumForce lol it does sound like it!

[nibbles20831]

my friend lied to me! she told me there was only 1 loop when there was more than that! she knows that i hate the loops. ugh!

[kcphipps1998]

@nibbles20831 i love loops but hate drops :)

[awsome6423]

@nibbles20831 i think she meant there wasn't two loops,only one loop.she didnt mean that there was just one loop and nothing else

[cantbackdown123]

@MulleniumForce lol wtf rofl

[linesofascript]

@MulleniumForce yeah your mom

[Z0MBI3SLA73R]

Best seat of the ride, one of the back two corners in the last row. The entire train pulls you down and you'll whip around on the first drop. So intense. <3

[xXxL3W15xXx]

Truly awesome all round coaster, not as intense as The Hulk but more smooth IMO. Great coaster for first timers too. 8/10

[swakkeporno]

sat in the same seat :p

[fordty]

you know what i loved it but you want to know what i would change? me when i found a phone on kumba i should have kept it

[rollercoastersrock13]

I am going to Busch Gardens on July 8th can u all tell me about this ride

[mathwiz623]

i couldn't stop singing cumbaya after i sat on this rollercoaster

[AlexTubed]

Kumba is a true classic thrill coaster... It gives you that good thrill feeling every time.

[Jonnybowden0]

My favourite coaster along with manta (only because of that amazing pretzel loop!). This is better than thae hulk and dragon khan combined, but theyre are still amazing coasters...this is just so forceful non-stop, beginning to end...amazing, brilliant, cant wait to go to florida to ride this again in 3 weeks :D

[theincrediblehulkfan]

I did this ride 6 times when i went to busch gardens. Its really fun!

[Jhawk893]

This ride is similar to b&m floorless

[lifeilead4u]

Did anyone else see the rust?

[keyblademastersora43]

hi im new to roller coasters any suggestions anybody?

[Madikinz123]

@keyblademastersora43 just ride them!!!!!!!! they are soooooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMTAproductions]

 this is similar to the kraken in sea world orlando

[paperairplaneMaN267]

is it me or is this like bizzaro at great adventure

[rezkat03]

these people are daredevils bringing there cameras along on their rollercoaster adventure, havent they seen Final Destination 3

(even though it was kinda a bad movie)

[Jonnybowden0]

@rezkat03 that wouldnt happen, very fake, and i think coasterforce uses proper in built camera stand things on the trains :)

[jtpr4dunks]

how fast does this go?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@jtpr4dunks 60 mph.

[jsmncole8]

omg this was so fun i wanted to ride it like 50 more thyimes !!!

[xXBL1TZ0WNERXx]

wwwCOASTERFORCEcom what is a B&M sitter?

[DJcrzynss]

@xXBL1TZ0WNERXx A Billiger & Mabillard Roller coaster that you sit down on 4 abreast with over the shoulder [OVTS] restraints

[weirddebates]

@xXBL1TZ0WNERXx B&M stands for Bolliger & Mabillard, which is one of the world's most popular roller coaster companies. A lot of B&M coasters are present at six flags parks. Some well known coasters they have include: Nitro,Tatsu, Raptor, Green Lantern, Hydra, and more. They have multiple coaster styles like floorless (hydra), flying (tatsu), Inverted (Raptor), Standup (Green Lantern), and Mega coasters (Nitro). And they have twister coasters like this, with normal sitdown cars. A B&M sitter.

[fromwkfsmouth]

Despite the fact that the Incredible Hulk Coaster at UIOA is the best of the B&M sitters, I gotta give Kumba honors! I live less than 20 miles from BGTB and is among the great coasters for locale!

[Dancer3498]

This was a good ride but it is ALOT faster in person. I would not suggest front row on this ride because it goes so fast and its kinda rough and with all the twist and turns your head bangs against the seat and you get a SUPER bad headach .

[DJcrzynss]

@Dancer3498 You got that wrong, the front you are pushed through the ride, you dont feel the force of this ride unless you are in the back, the further back you sit, the more shaky it gets [this actually adds to the thrill] because you are being pulled through everything. This is most evident in the Zero -G roll just as you are making the full twist you are yanked/pulled down out of it...

And besides [TO ALL] if you cant keep your head from being a ping pong ball, idk wha to say... weak neck?

[dreybert5789]

This coaster could definitely do with a re-painting.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@dreybert5789 Check out our reply to MrDmcty1, it's been done.

[TheMtaTeam]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom nice vid i rode that coaster in the rain i did not a feel a single drop

[MrDmcty1]

Can we say Paint Job!! lol

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MrDmcty1 It got one. Just check out the HD on-ride POV video we posted a year after this one.

[AmazingElephant]

much better in person

[ACCFElissa]

They were having problenms with the ride before me and my dad got on this. The alarm system was going off in SPANISH! We waited like, an hour to ride it when it only had a 5 minute wait. :/

[INTERNETRULES34]

can u flim the rides at bush gardens
