This ride is amazing. Bro, I could enjoy it, but I've only been on once so I can't, however it's getting old and soon it won't be as worth the experience as before...

I’ve been riding this ride for years and it never disappoints. It’s usually a walk on unless you want to sit in the front of back rows. If you want the most intense experience definitely sit in the back row edge seat and you’ll be thrown around in the best way possible. For sunsets I like sitting in the front row as you get a better view through the inversions. Speaking of inversions, there are plenty including an interlocking corkscrew, a loop, cobra roll, and Zero G roll which are all awesome. This ride has been and remains to be one of my favorites in the park

A Classic in the Park. This ride has been open since the parks open and it still holds up. Yes it’s probably one of the most rattled rides in the park but that’s ok! The ride is a hidden gem and definitely a not missed in the park. Do not miss this ride you will instantly regret your decision and your choices. Do not miss it at all go on it.

This B&M sit down coaster is so smooth and has one of the best layouts of any sit down coaster. The track dives in and out of the ground beautifully. Just waiting in the station and seeing the train go around the layout is a treat. The train comes right behind the station. The inversions are not intense at all. Just an all around fun ride that won’t beat you up.

Out of the 58 coasters I've ridden, this is my 3rd favorite. Pacing is incredible, forces are bone crushing, and it never lets you catch your breath. It has a slight rattle, which may toss an unprepared rider's head around, but it's so worth it for the incredible experience.

Kumba is everything you could ever want out of a roller coaster and then some: it's visually stunning, intense, unique, and smooth.

The line moves fast especially when it's running all 3-trains, it's a people eater. Front row gives the best view, back row is full of whip as you get yanked through the course.

This ended up being my favorite on my visit. I would get off and get right back in line as it's extremely re-rideable. For a coaster built nearly two decades ago, it's glass-smooth with the exception of the interlocking corkscrews.

This is one my most favorite roller coasters. I remember riding this when I was 7 years old. I am very pleased that it is still operational today. It brings back a lot of memories that I was able to enjoy with my children too. Thank you busch gardens

Great outting for you and friends, or your teenage kids. Wanted to share the best theme park food ever; the Zambia Smoke Shack. Brisket, ribs and other BBQ! Sharing an all-day meal pass every 90 mins works great. Or two single-meal tickets can get plenty of food here in four meals. Gobs of great coasters just be sure everyone makes the ride height toaximiza the day.Still one of the best price to performance theme parks in the US.
