(Archive) Advertising District / SoK

I understand why it's called Son of Kumba and understand that you wont change it. But for me it just seems such an odd name.

Screen is nice though

My vote goes for "Kumba Hunt."

Good screen, but don't forget the diagonals that made Kumba so interesting!

I thought Kumba wasn't really an animal, it just means "Roar!" in the African Congo Language, so the name doesn't really make sense as far as I know...

However, the screen is good and the transitions look like something a stand-up from B&M would try to make.

How about Panthera Negra...
I can see why you are calling this SoK but with all said above I do agree it doesn't make any sense at all but oh well screens are great so I'm not complaining.

Kumbaka anyone?

I'm actually a huge fan of the name so I could care less about the actually meaning of it. The idea of a sequel to the coaster is great, and the screens match it.

^ My thoughts exactly.

Yes and no. Kumba does mean "roar" in Swahili, but as you can see in BGT's large logo (the one that was over the entrance bridge path and that was the logo for my rec) they represent it with a large predatory black panther/jaguar/cat. Years ago in the BGT Comgo gift shop I bought a T-Shirt that seems to prove this theory:



Clearly Kumba is represented there by a large kinda bad-ass cat. I don't think the name is based on a sound alone and that they used the "Kumba cat" as the cause of the sound and give it an identity. So basically for this design the offspring of that bad-ass cat is larger and more fierce than its parent and running a mock in a land near its father, Kumba.

Thanks for all the comments. I should have a new update tonight that won't be of the Q

Primal Kumba?

Primal "Roar"!

SoK is a fine name. Stop doubting Kumba's choice!

yeah I love it. nice name kumba

I really like the look of this! I think the colours are the best part, but I'm worried this might end up a little to similar to Kumba (that wouldn't be a bad thing, I guess, as I understand they are supposedly in the same "park", it's just a little repetitive). I like the little touches like the mask, so hopefully more things like that will set the two apart.

Great screens, and I'm sure SoK will be wilder than Kumba ever was. Those colors make it look like a demon, and stand-ups are always rougher. Did you think about putting an 0-G roll in the layout? I think that would be really awesome.

My vote goes for "Kumba Hunt."

Change your mind?

The first was a joke. I've always liked the name.

I really like it
The queue looks awesome

Ok, here comes your first non-Q screen, heck it's even a no-coaster screen...



A peep friendly 3-Point shootout carnival game. It's not 100% yet as I want to use SF's custom balls or make my own. Also might make custom sports jerseys to put on the wall as prizes. It's been fun messing with this, takes me back to similar rides I did on V-Key.

I hope to have some pics of the station and more of the area surroundings later this week and sorry for the delay on this update. I have been working on this consistently, just not to the point that I had more update-ready parts to show.

WOW
