Kings Dominion, Doswell, Virginia, has announced the 2022 debut of Tumbili, a first of its kind 4-D Spin roller coaster for the region that will be built in the former location of The Crypt.

Tumbili is the Swahili word for “monkey.” The coaster boasts a 90-degree vertical lift that will take eight riders, suspended on each side of the track, up 112-feet into the air. State-of-the-art magnetic technology along the track will induce and control spinning, which will give riders the feeling of weightlessness as they flip through three layers of track vertically stacked. The ride will reach speeds of 34 mph.

The coaster will be constructed in the upgraded Safari Village area of the park that will be named Jungle X-Pedition. Tumbili, slated to open in the spring of 2022, will replace the former top spin flat ride The Crypt that was removed in 2020.
