Mumbo Jumbo

Description

Mumbo Jumbo is an 'El Loco' roller coaster manufactured by S&S. This ride is one of many 'El Loco' but Mumbo Jumbo is the only one of its kind in the UK. Being an 'El Loco', the ride can maneuver through intense and strange elements that include over-bank turns and inverted stalls, both of which the ride have. The showstopper element of the ride is the initial beyond vertical drop which (at the time of its opening) was the steepest drop on any roller coaster in the world. The ride's entrance portal and signage would indicate its theme is tribal of some sense, which links into Kumali's African theme next door quite nicely. There is some themed audio but not at all in abundance. The ride experience starts with a turn into the steep angled lift hill which is then followed by the 112 degree beyond vertical drop. The ride then goes through some twisty turns before entering the dive loop. The ride enters an inline twist afterwards before turning and hitting the brakes.
