Wow, for some reason I knew you're ride was going to be a recreation, but I did not know it would be a Kumba recreation! This looks fantastic so far! The catwalks everywhere add a very nice touch, and so does the transfer track station! I really like every part of this, great work!

DUDE. This is really amazing, excellent job so far. I especially like the catwalks and lift structure. Everything looks awesome so far, keep going at it.

OMG great coaster but why do you upload a pic of you in your bed any ways great coaster

[Rollerfreak987]

First, I'd like to say thanks for all the comments.

Great coaster to recreate. Long layout is gonna be a challenge but you have lots of height to start. Do you have enough room to the left of the lift to build the drop? Gonna need a rear chain dog to get those long trains over the crest. Can't wait to see the loop.

The coaster will be assembled outside, so i am not worried about space. There's a test below that'll show it makes it!

Darn... That's massive, dude ! :0
I can't wait the giant loop !

Thanks.

Freekin' unbelievable! i love Kumba and i can't wait to see completed, go for it guys!

Booyah! Thanks, too.

wow this is going to be huge the lift, the loop ,can`t wait to see how big that loop will be, awesome recreation so far looks very realistic , from the station to the catwalk to the lift is just perfect fitting nice job so far this will be AMAZING to see if you can pull it off great job

Oh, it''ll be pulled off .

Are you going to build some of it in sections and assemble it outside because it seems like you don't have much space there? It looks very nice with a the little details. Are you going to add lights to make it even more realistic? I really like it so far! Keep up the great work!

Exactly, and thanks dude.

I'm excited for this one. Looking awesome so far.

Great to hear it from ya .

Judging by the size of this, it looks promising. It looks sick so far!

Thanks

Catwalks took over 1,000 Half moons, so I am hoping they look nice. Thanks too!

That's my friend, and it was supposed to be for fun .

So much for 2 hours... I just got the video up.

Going to be a tough one, but it looks incredible so far!

[tornado96]

Wow that looks insane! I see your rubber band idea is catching on pretty quickly, Helmut! So keen to see the loop!

[Cardsandcoasters]

Everything about it looks really solid! The lift especialy, since those cars look really heavy. I'm looking forward to this, but are you really gonna make us wait until June?

[Helmut]

This will be a tough recreation, but you have a lot of height to start with. Nice to see that someone is using the rubberband idea. Looks very impressive so far!

Brandon and I are up for the challenge! Thanks!

Same here! Thanks, and the rubber bands work great!

Thanks! They're very heavy too. Great to hear you're looking forward to this, and yes, sorry!

As i said earlier I'm up for the challenge!

Ok, Brandon and I have finished the drop. It shakes barely with my red train and with Brandon's train it shakes a bit more, but it's not that bad.
We had the coaster on the grass but my yard has a bunch of little 'hills' and 'valleys' which make the ground really unstable, so we had my dad back the truck out from under the car shed and we put Kumba there! Picture time!















Heart lining!!


Pullout needs some work...


Here we go!!!

This looks freaky awesome! Supports are good also ! Keep building!

[Witting]

you guys are building so fast. keep up the good work!
i wanna see that loop so bad

[SCM]

Oh my... O_O That just looks amazing. Is this that coaster that will take 22 SS? I can't wait to see the cobra roll.

[Micro Mike 21]

You guys are building super good at super speed. I cant wait for the loop! The drop looks really good also! But the pullout seems a little sharp in the entry though.
Like right there, it looks a little corrupt for the size of the drop.

[timtimlaz]

I think the drop could be a little smoother because I see a few bumps in the third picture. Keep building this fast and you guys will have it done in no time! Keep it up! I think I like this the best!!

[Cardsandcoasters]

Hmmmm. Somethings a little strange in the POV picture. Compare it to this:

And the drop is pretty bumpy, especially in the POV shot looking down the drop. It's just a mix of straight and sharp spots all along the drop, probably caused by the grey rods.

Sorry to be the first negative post, I don't like being the nitpicker but ah well :/

[Turtle Man 24]

I agree with him^ The whole drop does look full of sharp and straight spots, just like IOAgeek's big coaster with his drop and first airhill. I do hope you'll be able to pull this off though. Good luck!

[Kool Coaster Kid]

This is going to be a sick recreation, just like the real ride. As stated before, a few minor bumps in the drop. Hartlining can be fixed also.
Might I ask, will the lift be shifted further back so the cobra roll won't go over the edge and be on the grass? Is it possible for the camper trailer to be moved also?

Good luck and keep up the great work!

[Helmut]

Looks really massive! Please take another look at the shaping, I can still see some bumps.

I actually completely agree with you. And that's the point of this forum, to give constructive criticism. So don't feel bad if you critique my ride, it's fine!!!!

I'll try and address everyone else's concerns today too, and see if I can get out of shopping with my mom :/.

Thank you.

Building will slow down soon, and thanks. You'll get a teaser pic for the loop too!

*24. And thanks.

I've ripped apart the drop, so you don't have to worry about the pullout any longer!

I think the drop could be a little smoother because I see a few bumps in the third picture. Keep building this fast and you guys will have it done in no time! Keep it up! I think I like this the best!!

The drop is gone! Thanks.

The drop is gone, i'll make a smoother one with IOAgeek's awesome yet almost too many supports

The trailer will be moved, and the lift will be pushed towards the camper so there's room for the station. Thanks, too!

Looks really massive! Please take another look at the shaping, I can still see some bumps.

Thanks, it is! And I'll fix the drop to the best of my ability.

Ok, I looked at CAC's picture of Kumba for like 30 minutes and I tried to recreate it. That didn't turn out so well, but it still doesn't look right.
Pics:










The loop teaser, with supports or shaping not done.


Supporting and supports aren't done quite yet, either.
