Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has permanently closed its iconic roller coaster Kumba, which operated for three decades and was once renowned for having the world's tallest vertical loop. The ride, which opened in 1993, was a major attraction for thrill-seekers and helped establish the park as a competitor to Disney and Universal. However, it became less popular over time as newer, more advanced roller coasters were introduced. As part of a $100 million renovation project, the park plans to replace Kumba with a new attraction called 'Kumba’s Revenge,' which will continue the legacy of the original ride.
