Additional Information
- Kumba was delivered with four trains, but in regular operation, can only run three. A fourth train is always in storage, and used to allow three train operation when another train is taken out of service, allowing one as a spare.
- Kumba is one of two Bolliger & Mabillard roller coasters to feature a vertical loop that wraps around the lift hill. The other roller coaster with such a vertical loop is Riddler's Revenge, a Stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
- This was the first ride to feature a number of now-common Bolliger & Mabillard roller coaster elements, including interlocking corkscrews and a diving loop.
- Riders must be 54 inches (1.4 m) tall to ride Kumba.
- The tracks were repainted in 2006 and 2010.

“When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
“But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
