The Name "Kumba"
“Kumba” means “Roar” in the African Kongo Language. The coaster itself mimics this definition with a distinctive roar that the train produces as it traverses the track. This is due to the hollow spine and rails of the track, which are known to produce a roaring sound. This is a common track design on B&M coasters.

Famous quotes containing the words the name:
“There is the name and the thing; the name is a sound which sets a mark on and denotes the thing. The name is no part of the thing nor of the substance; it is an extraneous piece added to the thing, and outside of it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
