Once again, as with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Busch Gardens Tampa Bay officially confirms.
Update: According to our source, ride operators are currently (as of publishing this article) being trained/retrained to operate the iconic roller coaster.
Update #2: Kumba was seen testing earlier this morning with water dummies in all of the seats except for the outside seats of the front and back rows. In the outside seats of the front and back row are what appear to be sensor boxes.
Update #3: New video of Kumba testing has emerged on social media. Watch below:
Update #4: Kumba could potentially soft open today…here’s the latest update:
According to our source, Kumba has “passed inspection.” It has now been turned over from the “maintenance department to the ride ops.”
“Ride ops are required to run ten hours of continuous cycles before they can open it. If they continue cycling them through tomorrow without water dummies, it could soft open as early [today], but we’re looking at a Saturday/Sunday timeline.”
