[3][4] Kondaa features a top speed of 70.2 mph (113.0 km/h), a notable 15 airtime moments, and the world's first non-inverting cobra roll element.

[5] Following the opening of Pulsar the year prior,[6] in June 2017, Walibi announced a major multi-year plan to redesign and transform the park, with an accumulated total of €100,000,000 to be invested on new rides and parkwide theming, starting with the Tiki-Waka coaster and Exotic World area in 2018.

[9] Walibi officials shortlisted three major European suppliers for the project, eventually contracting Intamin to build the coaster following the 2017 annual IAAPA Berlin expo.

[13] Thematic work would begin to take shape around the area, and in late November the ride's then-unannounced name was divulged from the newly constructed entrance sign; Kondaa.

Upon cresting the hill, riders hit an 80° drop twisting sharply to the right, and into a 38-metre (125 ft) tall airtime, producing G forces as low as -1.3 Gs.

Other proclaimed worlds-firsts include a wall stall (although similar, if not identical, elements have been appearing on Rocky Mountain Construction coasters for years prior, and also debuted on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster just days after), and a side-banked double down.
