RIP Kumba (1993-2026), Busch Gardens Tampa. Front Row POV from 2022

This B&M sitdown coaster roared for 33 years at Busch Gardens Tampa, but it's final operating day was yesterday. I filmed this POV with a gopro8 in February 2022, during the passholder preview time for Iron Gwazi. I was very lucky to have logged nearly 175 laps on Kumba since my first visit in February 2017. In 10 visits from then through November 2025, Kumba was never closed on me, aside from my 3rd day on my Nov 2024 visit, which was the first day of its unplanned extended closure. Many people thought it was finished at that point, but it would reopen, and I got 27 more laps in late 2025, but I had a feeling that those could be my last, and they were. B&M doesn't make intense rides like this anymore, and I will greatly miss it.
