Kings Dominion is very close to its 2022 season opening, and while Tumbili might not be ready to go on opening day the park has still made major progress with the new coaster.  The S&S 4-D Spin coaster just recently started performing test runs, always a good sign of the final stages of construction.  You can see a clip of Tumbili running its entire course via this link.

Kings Dominion has been giving updates of Tumbili's construction during the off season, including a look at the ride's queue and station area.  The above photo is one the park shared of the queue, showing off what looks like some wonderful theming to go with the basecamp-in-a-jungle feel.


Tumbili will be the standout attraction in the park's newly themed Jungle X-pedition area, which was announced along with the coaster last year.  However, during this off-season Kings Dominion has given us some additional information on Jungle X-pedition's offerings.

The classic Mack Rides bobsled coaster, formerly named Avalanche, will now be known as Reptilian and reside within the Jungle X-pedition area.  The coaster will receive some heavy renovations and an all-new color scheme, as detailed in these updates from the park.  Additionally, the park's Scrambler ride, which also resides within Jungle X-pedition, is now to be known as Arachnidia.  Kings Dominion is really doing a great job tying their themes together here, a promising change!
