Still the best B&M roller coaster I’ve ridden. There isn’t that much of a rattle, but it still has the same kind of aggression you’d find on a lot of B&Ms first coasters (like Batman at SFGAM) which I personally love. Also the ride is intense all the way through, I’d even say it’s better at maintaining its intensity than Montu, Montu may have moments that are more intense, but it also seems to have some dead moments (especially towards the end). The only dead spot on Kumba I could find was the turn after the second corkscrews (I’m not counting the mid course). There have been rumors about its demise in recent years, but I personally believe that it’s here to stay for many years to come, and that’s the beauty of B&M, they are built with longevity in mind.

I have to agree, its still one of my top coasters and its the best in the park!

@@CoasterCollegeRawFootage BGT in general just has a well rounded lineup. Iron Gwazi is my personal #1 overall. Kumba and Montu are both super high in my rankings (#10 and #11 to be exact, I think they are close). Sheikra, Cheetah Hunt, Scorpion, Cobras Curse, hell even Tigris are all coasters that I can ride all day without being dissatisfied. The only coaster I didn’t like was Sand Serpent, but that ride is scrapped, so every major coaster there is good now.
