Kumali

Beschreibung

Kumali is a suspended looping coaster manufactured by Vekoma. The ride layout is a pre-made design known as a 'Shenlin' which spans over 671 metres (2,200 ft) of track and consists of 4 inversions. Only two of the 'Shenlin' design were ever built and Kumali is the only one out of the two that are still operating today. The 'Shenlin' design has since been discontinued by Vekoma making this roller coaster very unique amongst other rides of its kind. The ride has an African theme with themed music and announcements that play in the station building. The ride has a themed entrance portal and uniquely painted support structures to tie in with the overarching theme. The ride experience starts with the towering lift hill before plummeting down the steep drop. The ride then goes into the 87ft vertical loop and follows up into the 75ft cobra roll. Exiting this inversion, the ride goes into a 55ft zero-G roll and makes a final turnaround before entering the brakes. It is worth noting, many describe this roller coaster as smooth considering the ride model (suspended looping coaster) has a reputation for being quite rough, and some even go as far to say it is the smoothest of its kind in the UK and even the world.
