robinschroder Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 WOW! The finished product looks amazing! I'm definitely hoping to get out to Phantasialand later this year! Tom - how were the 'foot-chopper' effects? Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimueller Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Tom - how were the 'foot-chopper' effects? Well, the walls and the waterfall were close. But not that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddi Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I just came back from the public opening event Awesome coaster! It was my first ever B&M, so i have no comparison... Some people say it's better than Nemesis, others say it's not as good as Nemmy, but everyone agrees that it's a agreat coaster overall! I like the far left seat in the last row the most, the forces are crazy in that seat. And i think you won't get bored while queing, the queue is right in the centre of the action. The train flys by above, underneath and beside you all the time thus you have a great view of the coaster and a lot of good opportunities to take some pictures. The station is also absolutely great looking! Btw, a better onride video than those two onrides on youtube are coming in the next days, stay tuned And a very short offride clip (3mb, first drop and a helix can be seen ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You can find some more pictures of that amazing ride on our page Lifthill.net: Pictures: http://www.lifthill.net/gallery/pages/phantasialand8.php Report: (in German) http://www.lifthill.net/berichte/blackmamba.php Greetings Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 This ride really does look amazing!! Im visiting in July so i will get to ride it then can't wait wooooooooooooooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrewed Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 OMG This looks incredible. I need to near lots of money real fast and get my butt to Germany. Black Mamba looks absurd (in an awesome way). Definitely a winner! What a year for coasters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The ride looks AWSOME!!! I noticed Mamba doesn't have a Zero Car.... That's weird joris.tweakdsl.nl/blackmamba/Pre%20opening%20Blackmamba%20106.jpg You can clearly see in this picture that it has a zero car. Colin C Hmmm..... You can clearly see by this picture that it does NOT have a zero car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Sheen Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 If you mean zero-car like Alpengeist, then no, it doesn't, but then Alpie is the only one with a zero-car. If you mean a zero-car like every other B&M, yes it does. Zero cars can twist to the side (like in that photo you posted), but not up and down or horizontally to the side. Not sure if that makes any sense, but that's the case on every other inverter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinb Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Some people say it's better than Nemesis, others say it's not as good as Nemmy, but everyone agrees that it's a agreat coaster overall! Thats good to hear, I thought this was going to turn into a Nemesis bashing thread. This coaster does look pretty damn cool, the theming is on par with Disney. This coaster and Nemesis are prime examples of why I think IMO B&M are better than Intamin. -Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 All the themeing has been drawn up by Phantasialands amazing artists. They deserve most of the credit for this ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Vampire Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The ride has just opened and here are the first signs of vandalism. It's really a shame! http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=24157&-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollermonkey Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I like the far left seat in the last row the most, the forces are crazy in that seat. That's actually pretty common for B&M's for some reason, especially the inverts. Last row, left edge. I'm not sure why, do all the zero-G rolls rotate the same way? Anybody know?

rollermonkey Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Herr Ostchien, Thank you so much for that! A smooth hand, and a great looking ride! I really liked the waterfall. That will certainly increase the Nemesis comparisons even more! (Of course, this one isn't 'blood'!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yea, that ride looks hot. A wider lens would probably give a much better feel for the speed. Not that you didnt know that Back seats gotta be the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 That waterfall section looks amazing! I'm really tempted to go and ride this early before going in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.w Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Excellent coaster. Better theming than on Nemmy. I'm gonna try this one soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yea I know that the first two cars of all B&M trains only articulate rotationally. but as far as I knew, the term 'zero-car' meant the first car with no seats, ala Alpengeist, which is the only one with it. What would be the puppose of pointing out that Black Mamba has a zero-car, if one is refering to the design style that all B&M inverts have?

pkdcoaster Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 yea this pic shows that it is a normal B&M inverted train http://www.rcdb.com/ig3117.htm?picture=48 JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
