Kumba

The Kumba roller coaster extends 3,978 feet in length, reaches a height of 143 feet, and propels riders at speeds of 60 miles per hour.

Opening in April 1993, this Bolliger & Mabillard creation introduced the first roller coaster design featuring interlocking corkscrews and a dive loop element.

The ride name originates from an African Congo language term meaning roar, reflecting the distinct sound produced by trains moving through hollow steel tracks.

The roller coaster operation includes four trains with eight rows each, allowing for a maximum capacity of 1,700 passengers every hour.

Kumba stands among only five roller coasters worldwide that incorporate a vertical loop wrapping around the central lift hill structure.
