**The Most Fun Attractions at Tampa's Busch Gardens**

SheiKra and Cheetah Hunt are the crowd pleasing and less intense thrill rides of the park, with sharp drops and very pretty track but not as many loops. But if you're looking for a somewhat more old school thrill that caters to roller coaster enthusiasts and adventure seekers, look no further than Kumba. Kumba is as intense as steel looping coasters get with seven inversions all back to back. With a lush rainforest setting and the loud roaring track, the sense of speed is absolutely there. Kumba gets faster as it goes through its layout. The first drop and two loops are fairly intense, but you fly through the zero-g roll in a way that makes you float, and the cobra roll is very whippy, and is taken at terrifying speed. The g-forces on Kumba are sustained and powerful, the pacing is unrelenting, and the line is never long. Kumba remains one of the strongest coasters in the park. Incredibly forceful and immaculately paced.

I’ve been riding this ride for years and it never disappoints. It’s usually a walk on unless you want to sit in the front of back rows. If you want the most intense experience definitely sit in the back row edge seat and you’ll be thrown around in the best way possible. For sunsets I like sitting in the front row as you get a better view through the inversions. Speaking of inversions, there are plenty including an interlocking corkscrew, a loop, cobra roll, and Zero G roll which are all awesome. This ride has been and remains to be one of my favorites in the park

Kumba is everything you could ever want out of a roller coaster and then some: it's visually stunning, intense, unique, and smooth. The line moves fast especially when it's running all 3-trains, it's a people eater. Front row gives the best view, back row is full of whip as you get yanked through the course. This ended up being my favorite on my visit. I would get off and get right back in line as it's extremely re-rideable. For a coaster built nearly two decades ago, it's glass-smooth with the exception of the interlocking corkscrews.

Whoa! Hold on to your glasses on this one. Kumba packs a big punch. Very forceful and you can have a gray out at the bottom of the first drop or exiting the first loop. It's a bit rough, but I can see why since it's forceful and has been running since 1993. With 7 inversions, the layout on this coaster is phenomenal, not a dull moment for the duration of the ride. They blended the scenery with the ride. I could watch it run all day long if I had nothing better to do.

Great outting for you and friends, or your teenage kids. Wanted to share the best theme park food ever; the Zambia Smoke Shack. Brisket, ribs and other BBQ! Sharing an all-day meal pass every 90 mins works great. Or two single-meal tickets can get plenty of food here in four meals. Gobs of great coasters just be sure everyone makes the ride height toaximiza the day.Still one of the best price to performance theme parks in the US.
