Layout
Kumali is the second of two "Shenlin" SLC installations from Vekoma, the first opened four years earlier at Happy Valley Shenzhen. The layout has since been reproduced by Chinese manufacturers.
The train first ascends a 117 ft
chain lift hill
and drops 111 ft to the right. The train then immediately enters the first inversion, a right vertical loop, before slightly banking right then straight again. The train then traverses the next two inversions, a left cobra roll, followed immediately by the last inversion, a zero g roll. A 360-degree right helix then brings the train into the brake run before turning right into another brake run and finally turns right into the station ready to unload/load again. In total, it has 4 inversions.
Incidents
Kumali has been known for sometimes breaking down on the lift hill leaving people stranded.[1][2]
