Black Mamba • Phantasialand

Capacity Intensity Smoothness

This ride is criminally underrated and I can't believe how nobody talks about it. It's a super intense ride and has phenomenal pacing. Really good inversions and really forceful helixes. It is embedded in phenomenal theming and it just looks so good. It's really comfortable and I don't mind the OTSRs, I actually think they improve the ride experience because they feel quite free compared to some other OTSRs I experienced. What a great first encounter with B&M Inverts. I now understand why enthusiast love this mode and I can't wait to ride more of them. I have a full Review on my YouTube if you want to hear more about my thoughts of this ride.

Theming Inversions

Cool coaster, very quite wild. Inversions aren't exactly my thing as they really mess me up in a bad way xD but it's a good coaster non the less!

Theming Inversions Intensity Too short

Really something else in the first row. The 4 Inversions appear very early in the Layout and in the 2nd Half you dont go upside down again, i wish it was spread a little more. Still an amazing ride with great, great theming

Inversions Location Intensity Disappointing!

I know i tagged the ride as disappointing, but this does only apply to the second ride in the fifth row. My first ride in the Frontrow was awsome. The Inversions are quite intense, but what i most loved about the ride was the foot-chopping effect you will get, when going through the world Black Mamba is build around. This Interaction paired with the intense and disorrienting feeling you will get from the layout was really special and what mades the ride for me. Unfortunately, this was missing on my ride in the fifth row. The Intensity was still there, but were was no real interaction with the ride anymore.

Great ride with even greater theming. It was however a bit too intense for my taste.

Theming Pace Intensity

After three B&M Wing coasters, three Dive coasters and one Hyper coaster I was expecting something less intense. But my God! Black Mamba is very instense and I love intense coasters!

Comfort Fun Layout Discomfort Intensity

Its a really nice ride, beautiful theming and never boring. It was a bit too intense for me.. To many moments with a lot of positive G's so I almost passed out a few times.

Theming Pace Fun

The best themed B&M invert out there. Very immersive theme! The ride is pretty fast paced and rushed very fast through these trenches. Its very smooth, has some intensity and is very fun to ride and even nice to look at Thrill: 3.5/5

This roller coaster is beautiful. It's very intense, has an outstanding theming and feels way faster than it actually is. However i do find this to be a bit shaky the last time i visited the park, but it didn't hurt.

Verry intense rollercoaster! Great theming. Good capacity. Ride IT in the front!

Theming Intensity Smoothness

This ride is often overshaded by Taron, but it is still a fantastic inverter: It is glossy smooth and very comfortable, the inversions are great fun (especially the Zero-G-Roll) and the turns provide really strong G-forces. Theming is extremely immersive and the whole area looks absolutely gorgeous. I also really like the station which is basically a cave built underground, which gets dark and plays very loud drumming music everytime a train dispatches. This feature raises the adrenaline level, especially if you don't know about it!

Theming Location Intensity

Insanely good B&M invert. The theming is really well executed and its amazing how you can barely see the ride from anywhere. Also I find it amazing how intense of a ride they can pack into the 26m height. The last helix is amazing and just as good as the enclosed brakerun in a cave.

Very good ride with excellent Theming, but Headbanging especially in the Backrow!

Theming Inversions Smoothness Too short Dead spots

Very intense B&M coaster, great themeing at a good pace. - Seems a bit too short at times though.

Theming Smoothness Capacity

Having only ridden a vekoma inverted coaster, I was afraid for a headache after this one. But this coaster is so smooth, and the near misses with the scenery made it an amazing thrill ride. No headaches here!

Theming Inversions Intensity

Probably the best smaller-scale B&M invert in the world. The theming is world-class, with an incredible amount of fantastic near misses. While I generally would prefer a larger-scale invert like Katun, for an invert of this size I think it is perfect. The layout to me does not feature a particular highlight, but flows very well and is consistently extremely forceful. Slamming into the pitch black indoor brake run is another fantastic effect. Best experienced in the front row, though the drop is fantastic for its size in the back.

Is ok, funny

First Drop Comfort Duration Rattle Disappointing! Intensity

Very shaky for a B&M and lacks intensity after the first inversion.

Inversions Masterpiece Intensity

The scenery, the ride, the intensity. I just love this ride.

Inversions Location Intensity

Phantasialand worked wonders with B&M to get this to fit in at all. Uses a narrower gauge track than many B&M's, which helps with the tight gaps and bends it has to negotiate. The trains are detectably narrower than other recent B&M's - but that's an incredibly picky point! Intensity is high and proximity effects abound. The pacing not quite so perfect as it's older brother Nemesis; the windy section at the end essentially an RCT-autocomplete to get home... But still, it's an incredible ride in a incredible park; that probably deserves more recognition overseas (memories of early 1990's school trips to Germany definitely do not echo what Phantasialand is now!)

Intensity,phenomenal theming,great pacing - What's not to love ?

Best themed inverted coaster

Theming Inversions Intensity Intensity

Absolutely great setting for the B&M inverter - which seems to hurl and burrow through the ground. Lots of near-miss effects. Unfortunately, for me, the coaster is a little bit too intense.

Theming Fun Intensity

Black Mamba is more intense than it seems. The interactions with the surrounding scenery is really impressive, and it is generally smooth. However, the layout isn't the most original and it lacks the "wow" factor other inverts have.
