I Think The Coolest Thing About Kumba Is That You Can Hear Exactly Where The Sound Is Echoing Through The Track - Tumblr Posts

Thank you to the one person who voted on the poll, because that means we're doing a Busch Gardens post first, and we're starting off strong! I present to you my photos of Kumba!

I'm honestly a little disappointed with myself that I never took a video of it going by because it indeed lives up to its name - it's LOUD! But in a good way! It's truly just an amplification of the B&M roar that I'm already familiar with, but you can hear exactly how and where the sound is echoing through the hollow track - sounding like an ambient growl - as the train passes and it's so cool!

Also I'm not kidding at all when I say that Kumba's roar is loud. We were in a different section of the park & I could hear it still in the distance. It was awesome!

And while I'm at it, I should also mention that it's not just the sound that's great, but the ride experience. One of those inversions (I think maybe the dive loop) was 100% the whippiest inversion I've ever experienced in my life. I was loving every second!!!
