A turbine blade for a turbine engine having a cooling system in the turbine blade formed from at least one elongated tip cooling chamber forming a portion of the cooling system and at least partially defined by the tip wall proximate to the first end. An inner surface of the tip wall may include a plurality of curved bumper protrusions extending from the inner surface radially inward toward the root. The cooling system may include a plurality of ribs generally aligned with the trailing edge, and the curved bumper protrusions may be offset in a chordwise direction relative to the ribs. A throat section may extend between a first forwardmost curved bumper protrusion and a second immediately adjacent downstream curved bumper protrusion and may be offset radially outward from an inner tip surface, thereby creating a first recessed tip slot with a reduced tip wall thickness.
