Kumba’s Revenge

[KbTurtle]

Okay everyone! Now that Kumba has officially closed, what do we think Kumba’s Revenge will be? Also, when do you all think BGT will reveal what is in the box?

The Son of Beast parallels are concerning but I’m hoping for a giga.

What do you mean about the parallels.

I’m also hoping for a giga!

They heavily leaned into the crate and "old name but different" vibes. Mostly that.

I haven't been to BGT since I was a kid, but if it really is a giga, I will for sure be renting a car and driving up next time I'm in Orlando.

Besides the surveys and clues people have already talked about elsewhere, a giga just feels right in terms of filling a hole in the park's lineup while being splashy enough to draw new or infrequent visitors.

I did Leviathan a few weeks ago, which was my first of the B&M gigas. Felt like my face was melting, it was incredible. It’d be a great addition for BGT to get one.

What did you think of Alpenfury? That ride was amazing, and was the first coaster since Veliciocoaster to make me feel like a young overly excited enthusiast again. Those elements are just non stop with no time to process what is happening, the first time you ride as you hit the break run it’s nearly incomprehensible what you just rode.

Agh — I actually skipped it, because I was on my own and had my passport and various other worldly essentials and didn’t quite trust leaving them in a locker. I backed myself to keep important stuff in pockets on Leviathan, Behemoth and Yukon Striker but I was looking at the elements and transitions on Alpen and figured I’d lose everything in the first 20 seconds, lol.

I know exactly what you mean though, I’m trying to think of when I last saw something that relentless and I actually can’t think of a comparison. I enjoyed watching it! Will try to get back another time and ride.
