Kumba referb?

[DuelingDragonskid]

I haven't been in a while why was Kumba listed (On the web site in August as closed)? What did they do?

Just general maintenance. BGT often does extended maintenance.

Well...the maintenance schedule is up on the website, and Kumba will be down for another extended "refurbishment". I REALLY hope they are not going to add VR to it. Even being optional, I don't understand why they would put the public through having that awful Spot Saver on yet another coaster just to add VR. Of course on slower days, it would still be semi walk-on. The best I ever saw SWO get with Kraken Unleashed was 4 minute dispatches.
