Kumali

5.0/5(1 reviews)

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.

Un coaster à 10 inversions très fun avec lapbars (ce qui le différencie de son vieux cousin Colossus)

Mumbo Jumbo

4.0/5(1 reviews)

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.

Hero

2.0/5(1 reviews)

Hero is a flying roller coaster that was manufacturered by Zamperla. The ride is known as a 'volare' and differs itself from other models by putting riders in the flying position. The ride is the first and only one of its kind in the UK. Despite being one of the park's newest roller coasters, it has garnered a reputation for being notoriously rough and uncomfortable for many riders. The ride starts with a spiral lift hill, an incredibly unique quality for any roller coaster. The ride consists of many sharp turns and dips; the ride also inverts twice. Both inversions are heartline rolls.
