Black Mamba is a steel inverted roller coaster located in Phantasialand in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 2006. Like many modern Bolliger & Mabillard coasters, the track is filled with sand to absorb rattling and to reduce noise.[citation needed]

History

On 23 May 2006, Black Mamba opened exclusively to ticket holders following an auction of 132 tickets to raise money for charity. It opened to the general public on the following day.[1]

Design

Elements

About two-thirds of the ride is below the ground level and is especially known for its great theming, which is a jungle-like area around the track, filled with real trees, caves and even sounds of animals. The station is themed to represent an African temple-like building.

Trains

2 trains with 8 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 4 across in a single row, for a total of 32 riders per train. Riders are held in by over-the-shoulder harnesses.
