Blunderbusses were typically short, with barrels under 60 centimetres (2 ft) in length, at a time when a typical musket barrel was over 90 cm (3 ft) long. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] One source, describing arms from the early to middle 17th century, lists the barrel length of a wheel lock dragon at around 28 cm (11 in), compared to a 41 cm (16 in) length for ...
The train is launched out of the station at a speed of between 53 and 60 miles per hour (85 and 97 km/h) before passing through a vertical loop and up a 138-foot-tall spike (42 m). Once the momentum of the train runs out on the 70° spike, the train begins to traverse the track backwards, returning through the loop.

After ascending the lift hill, the train drops to the right, reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). Riders then enter a straightaway before climbing a second hill which drops them 228 feet (69 m), reaching a top speed of 85 miles per hour (137 km/h). The train then makes a 280-degree turn, passing back under Thunderbolt's structure.
The train then traveled through its first inversion, a 136 foot tall, single vertical loop. After exiting the loop, the train turned to the left and traveled through a double-loop, the first loop being 107 feet tall and the second loop being 97 feet tall. The train then traveled upward with a left turn onto the mid-course brake run.
The 3,978-foot-long (1,212 m) Kumba stands 143 feet (44 m) tall and has a drop of 135 feet (41 m), with a top speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). The ride features seven inversions including a 114-foot-tall (35 m) vertical loop, a dive loop , a zero-g roll , a cobra roll and two interlocking corkscrews . [ 9 ]
The train then descends 65 feet (20 m) at a 45-degree angle at a top speed of 48 mph (77 km/h). The train enters a bunny hop, drops lower than the main drop, and enters a vertical loop. The train goes up to a short straightaway before descending a banked 180-degree right turn into the two consecutive corkscrews over the midway of the park ...
The train then dispatches from the station, makes a slight s-bend turn toward the 170-foot (52 m) chain lift hill. After reaching the top, riders descend 111 feet (34 m) through a downward right turn reaching a maximum speed of 62 mph (100 km/h). This is followed by an upward right turn into the first inversion, a 103-foot-tall (31 m) corkscrew.
