Kumba totally ownz it, lol. The things got amazing pacing, this is the B&M that made it all happen. The first cobra, dive loop, 0g. Its all amazing. Highpoint of the ride is the forceful dive under the station after the corks. A MUST RIDE!

This is a good overall coaster that all can enjoy. There is really nothing special about this coaster but the ride is very smooth. The ride last for a while too.

This is the coaster that made B&M famous. Kumba is one coaster that remains a milestone in the industry. It has great speed and the best section after the MCBR and a very forceful Barrel Roll. The queue is your average everyday queue, themeing is scarce unless you count that bridge with the fans and Mountain Dew sponsorships on it. Kumba is getting a little rough now for operating for nearly 12 years, I think Busch should do a touch up to keep this smooth. Overall, a great ride experience and intense!

This ride is one of my favorites. The ride is aswome and has nice hangtime through the first two inversions. The little hump before the cobra roll is fun, and the zero-g roll on the right outside seat is fun.

Kumba is a little different for a sit down steel looping roller coaster in that you sit 4 accross. If you happen to get an end seat, it is a little scarier as there is no track underneath you. Kumba is an exhilirating ride with tons of airtime, nice twists and turns, and a good pacing. I enjoyed this ride, though not as much as Montu, but still it is a great ride.

This is the most intense B+M coaster that I have ever been on! This is a great ride, even though it is somewhat rough, it is an excellent ride, such as the Cobra Roll with the bridge going through it, and the tunnel going into the helix, a must at Busch Gardens!

Finnally a big B&M that I like. It's got some great inversions and unlike other big B&M's it pulls a few good forces. Must ride in front otherwise it sucks :lol:. Great drop too.
