Kings Dominion adds roller coaster

over the weekend debuted the Tumbili, which bills itself as “Virginia’s first 4D Spin Coaster.”

The Tumbili — a Swahili word for “monkey” — stands 112 feet tall at its maximum height and suspends riders on either side of the track as the cars flip continuously throughout the ride.

    The ride runs a length of 770 feet, hits 34 mph and lasts just shy of a minute and 55 seconds.
