Montu is a definite win, if for the batwing alone. I swear, the G's going into it are insane. The theming certainly doesn't detract from the experience, either. Kumba's interlocking corkscrews were good fun, but the rest of the ride was rather ordinary.

when Kumba was built. it was the first of its kind to have those elements though. so hooray for old B&M's.

in the first video of kumba, it looks pretty pumpy. did B&M heart,line their rides the same back then as they do now?

Its not pumpy, where do you see them? I just see normal B&M changes in radii.

Ok. Let me get this straight with all of you guys. EVERY COASTER of b&m's early era has pumps. You may think it is uncommon, but next time you ride a coaster in the back row look ahead of you and there are very few that you will not see any sort of pump or odd wiggle.
