Kumali • Flamingo Land

Nice surprise! Intensity Smoothness Capacity

'Smoothness' and 'Vekoma SLC' aren't usually phrases you would find in the same sentence and are often considered a juxtaposition, but Kumali was smooth, intense and has a fun layout with only one slightly janky spot near the end in the finale helix. It really surprised me, as my expectations were extremely low for this ride based on the reputation that other SLC's had in my books; Infusion and Odyssey were shite, and were the only two SLC's I had ridden prior to Kumali (however my opinion of Infusion has since changed). I was extremely apprehensive about whether Vekoma could achieve a smooth zero-g roll, but they pulled it off perfectly and it's the best element of the ride! The only downside was single train operation, which I could see being quite a pain in the ass in busier months as there was no sign of a second train. In short, Kumali was a pleasant surprise and is potentially the most re-rideable coaster at Flamingoland.

It is a bit rough, but if you keep your head forward it's fine.
