    A forceless and kind of rough kiddie coaster so it’s one of the worst I’ve done. However you do get some nice views of Iron Gwazi on the ride so that’s a pro I guess.

    Komfort Irrelevant

    It’s one of the better wild mice I’ve done just because it’s one of the least uncomfortable and there was some solid laterals but still a pretty bland and forgettable ride overall.

    Thematisierung Spaß Dauer Dead spots

    It’s a long ride with some nice theming and set pieces and the final section has solid spinning and speed but at the end of the day it’s just a family coaster. One of the better ones I’ve done and I’m glad it’s a unique layout but still pretty mild.

    Nette Überraschung! Komfort Spaß Zu kurz

    I wasn’t expecting much from this ride but I was pleasantly surprised. The loop is solid as on all Schwarzkopf looping coasters but there was these 2 unexpected but awesome lateral jolts on the helixes that pinned and kept u on the side of the train. The ride also has a better sense of speed than I thought and has very open, simple and comfortable trains and restraints. The downside with this ride is that it does feel a bit short and really doesn’t have much to offer but it was better than I was expecting which is all I can ask for.

    Standort Abschuss Dauer Dead spots Intensität

    A pretty mild ride overall but along the way there is some decent launches, airtime moments and surprising transitions. Luckily it is a very long ride, has a good variety of elements and has a cool location. It’s fun but the intensity is severely lacking which is why I can’t rank it any higher.

    This is the worst B&M wing coaster I've ridden but its still a nice ride, its pretty short but it actually had some intense moments and it had great hangtime, I think the first drop is overrated though, and I just love the fun factor of these wing coasters.

    Nette Überraschung! Spaß Intensität Airtimes Dead spots

    There isn’t much airtime on this ride for a dive but it made up for it by being the most intense dive I’ve ridden. The inversion is also very fun and the area around the coaster looks nice. Overall nothing to write home about but a nice supporting coaster for the park

    Inversionen Tempo Intensität

    Kumba has some of the most sustained positive G’s I’ve experienced. While other coasters have far stronger moments, throughout most of kumba and especially the larger inversions you are plastered to your seat the entire time and you never really lose the pace. It’s how long you are experiencing these G’s that makes it special. One of the only moments where there isn’t great positives is the hell roll which changes things up with amazing whip. This coaster also has a nice location tucked back in the trees and there’s lots of grass and other plants you can touch during the ride which is cool. There isn’t much variety to this ride but it does what it sets out to do very well, it feels like one super long greyout. Overall one of the better B&M loopers out there.

    Inversionen Intensität Layout Dead spots

    Definitely a top tier invert. Most of the inversions are very intense and snappy. With the batwing being one of the craziest inversions I’ve experienced. On top of that it’s a very long ride so there are plenty of great moments. However my biggest con with this ride is that a lot of the transitions in between elements feel slow and forceless which affects the pacing, but the elements themselves make up for it with how great they are.

    Inversionen Tempo Ejectors Zuverlässigkeit

    I have a love hate relationship with this ride but at the end of the day it’s a world class coaster. It was down when I got to the park and after I rode it continued to go down several other times throughout the day. On top of that it had most likely the slowest operations I have ever seen which was certainly frustrating. After my first ride this coaster wasn’t even in my top 50 because it felt slow and lacked airtime, but I came back later and rode a bunch of more times and it completely redeemed itself. I ended the day with a back row sunset ride with a considerable amount of room, and I think that ride showed me the full potential of Iron Gwazi. The layout offers a diverse collection of forces and elements, and there are no dead spots. The pacing is definitely a strong suit as this coaster has an amazing sense of speed the whole way through, and the length allows it to keep this pace and fly into the brake run whilst simultaneously not feeling like a short ride either. The first drop is one of the best ones I’ve done with the strong and sustained ejector and the slam back down into your seat and head chopper. The first outerbank is another moment of powerful sustained ejector that slams you into your seat at the bottom. The death roll is my favorite element on the ride and one of the best inversions I’ve done, it gives great sustained ejector going downwards throughout the whole inversion while simultaneously providing insane whip. The following Overbank has a nice airtime whip combo on the exiting transition. The wave turn over the station is quite overrated but still provides some fun sideways airtime. The following 2 hills are fun but filler moments on the ride, the following stall is also quite forgettable except for the snappy transition exiting the element. The off axis hill in the finale has decent airtime and a surprise lateral jolt at the end. The following 2 pops give great ejector bursts with the 2nd one giving the strongest airtime on the ride. The final hill gives one last sustained ejector moment before snapping into the brakes with plenty of speed left over. There is not only plenty of airtime on the ride but also great inversions, positives and whip which is rare for an RMC. Overall I don’t think it’s the best coaster on the planet like some but it is definitely a must do ride as an enthusiast.
