What riders love
  • They're a fun experience, and it's always so unpredictable which way you will flip or when the train will fall to the next level.
  • super short but we were on the seats that spin you like crazy (my cousins girlfriend took a video, we spun probably at least 10 times, 5 alone on the top section).
  • Actually really fun, if you go in the lower side (the lower side when you’re in the chainlift) because you do a backflip into the sky.
  • There’s some jungle music playing on the way up and we got some flips every time we rode it, some of which were so forceful they caught me off guard.
  • The theming and the music going up the lift was welcome.
  • But...this one is themed really well, is super smooth and being shorter helps.
  • I flipped three times and although short is really chaotic and disorienting. Much better than I expected.
  • Tumbili is a surprisingly fun roller coaster, with the 4D flipping aspect making the ride.
  • Tumbili was a big surprise! I was lucky enough to get three flips based off the weight distribution in our group.

But...this one is themed really well, is super smooth and being shorter helps.

IronChef C.

It wasn’t an uncomfortable ride by any means, but it wasn’t amazing either.

Sam Dickson

...‘4D’ free spin coaster might be my least favorite next to spinning wild mouse coasters in general, but this particular ride was much more smooth and comfortable for me than the one at Great Adventure.

David

It’s unpredictable, and I love that, but the problem is that it’s over too Quick and it can hurt, once again because the restraints are terrible.

Alessandra

I forgot the back flips on the first drop, and the harness hit me right in the one spot I did not want to get hit.

Dab Famlet

There’s some jungle music playing on the way up and we got some flips every time we rode it, some of which were so forceful they caught me off guard.

Austin L.

The first flip was intense but extremely jerky, the second flip held me face down against the restraint which was painful, and the rest of the ride did nothing.

Duncan G.

the sensation of my full body weight against the harness was kind of insane but my cousin and i both agreed it was a fun experience and we would’ve gone on it again.

One of the biggest differences with Tumbili over the other free spins are the trim brakes on the raven turns.

Canobie Coaster

...at any of the Six Flags parks, the layout isn’t quite as long, and this one does feature more trims, which I think dampens the experience a little bit, which depending on what you’re looking for,...

Coaster Studios

It’s a freespin that pretty much has one of the longest queues in the park by default because it’s a low-capacity model at a pretty busy park.

Evangelion Martini

The line moves fairly slow, but the line was never too long and the ride is well themed in the Jungle X-pedition section.

David, Captain Coaster review

Very lackluster replacement for Volcano the Blast Coaster which aside from its mechanical issues, was a 5 star coaster and highlight of Kings Dominion.

Wolfey Jay, Captain Coaster review

Actually really fun, if you go in the lower side (the lower side when you’re in the chainlift) because you do a backflip into the sky.

Brennan Duffy, Captain Coaster review

Its so fun spinning up and down and not seeing what infront of you.

Ethan Smith, Captain Coaster review

This was my first free spin and it did not leave a good impression.

MapleFlakes, Captain Coaster review

They’re a fun experience, and it’s always so unpredictable which way you will flip or when the train will fall to the next level.
