Design[edit]

|
This ride's track looks a little like a Wild Mouse, with single-car trains and tight turns. This coaster was the world's steepest roller coaster in the world, however it lost this status in 2011.
World Record[edit]
The ride broke the world record for the steepest drop in a roller coaster with a drop of 112°. This was however beaten on the 1st July 2011.
Name[edit]
The park owners said the name "Mumbo Jumbo" is a tongue-in-cheek description of how other parks boast about their new roller coasters.
Accident[edit]
On the 3rd May 2011, a car got stuck upside-down in the Twist into Half Loop element. Two female passengers were trapped for 20 minutes before being rescued.[2]
