The record-breaking drop

Mumbo Jumbo is a steel roller coaster located at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire, England, UK. It is an El Loco installation from S&S-Sansei Technologies and was opened on July 4, 2009 on the spot previously occupied by Tidal Wave. The total cost of the ride was £4 million.

On opening, the ride was the steepest roller coaster with a maximum drop angle of 112°. It was superseded on July 2, 2011 by Timber Drop at Fraispertuis City, which is one degree steeper.

Design

Elements
Chain lift hill Dive loop In-line twist

This ride's track looks a little like a Wild Mouse, with single-car trains and tight turns.

Color Scheme

Mumbo Jumbo has black track and orange supports.

Trains

Single car. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 4 riders per car.

Name

According to park owner Gordon Gibb the name "is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek description, poking fun at the way other theme parks exaggerate their new rides and attractions. We’re not talking mumbo jumbo - our new rollercoaster is definitely the real deal!".

Incident

On the 3rd May 2011, a car got stuck upside-down in the dive loop element. Two female passengers were trapped for 20 minutes before being rescued.
