Wishmaster Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Black Mamba made it's first testrun! (for real this time) http://www.deepinafrica.de/testfahrt/testfahrt.php
Mystery Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 EDIT: Someone was first, but I have the pictures, not the link
ECZenith Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Sweet, hopefully a video turns up sooner or later. This thing must FLY through those elements.
roeterich Posted March 9, 2006 Author Posted March 9, 2006 Wow that looks really amazing! I can't wait until I have the chance to ride it Anyone wants to meet up? BTW: Mystery... Do you took the photos yourself? I don't think so and they are copyrighted. I actually don't know if you're allowed to post them here, but I think you have to post your sources at least... If I'm wrong, you can make fun of me...^^
coasterfreak101 Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 This thing looks amazing! So cool to see pictures of the train ACTUALLY on the track this time! I cannot wait to see a video of this in real person (off-ride of testing, anyone?) Also, is there a CGA video of this thing? Or a testing video *cough*hint*cough*?
Hattuchili Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 It looks really nice with the train! I can´t believe, they are really testing it there! --Sören
Shockwave Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Nice! 8-car trains on that twisty track! This could get pretty intense.
MLRC7 CP Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 most of you have probably noticd it, but the coaster is running without any wheel covers. Is it going to be like this when it is open, or just for testing
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I shurely hope they have some sort of cool coverings. I still think the best B&M invert coverings are the Dueling Dragons. It would be nice to see some sort of scaley snake theme on them
paulosthejackal Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Crickey thats sooo exciting, this has got to be one of (if not) the most important rides of the year. Its great to see a park put so much more effort into a coaster. I hope to ride this in the summer along with a trip to ride Expedition GeForce. I think what we all want/need now is a video! As for the wheel covers:- IMHO I imagine this is because there is lots of tinkering which will need to be done so it would be a pain in the bottom to fit romove all the plastic covers each time this could also avoid costly damage. I would imagine that there will be more theming on the trains as the ride develops. Perhaps with a snake head at the front I don't know.
redunzelizer Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I think what we all want/need now is a video! Here ya go: (credits to Lauf Forrest from onride.de) http://rapidshare.de/files/15171540/MOV01324.MPG.html EDIT ADD: This one is the *47MB version*. In case too large of a file for you, look a few posts later down, where Robb posted a downsized version of ~4MB only...
Ed Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 That carries soo much speed through those wingovers... It looks amazing!!
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I have created a smaller version of the file if you were having any problems downloading it. Remember: credits to Lauf Forrest from www.onride.de for this video! blackmambatesting.zip Black Mamba Testing Video form Lauf Forrest of onride.de - Very impressive!
Machtin Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 What's most impressive about it is that you practically can't perceive any sound at all. This thing runs as silent as a cat. At http://onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=21366&start=100&-1 you can also see that work is progressing really fast now. You can detect some queue line theming. Typical of Phantasialand this will be quite an experience for people suffering from claustrophobia.
Hattuchili Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 You can not really see a lot, but the video is really nice! I hope there will be more and better videos, soon! --Sören
RCfanatic Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I was planning on going to Movie Park Germany this year but I changed my mind all thanks to Black Mamba, I can't wait to ride! I'll do Movie Park later this year, I'm planning on staying in Germany for about a week or so, enjoy the sights, do Freizeit Park Klotten to. I like the fact that its so low with the tunnels and ravines, just like Nemesis, and the sketches show great theming! Anyway, beautiful, great coaster, love it already, can't wait to go!!! .
CoasterCrazy Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 The video is awesome! I can't wait to see more videos of this awesome coaster!
paulosthejackal Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Awesome Vid! Been looking at photos of progress over the last few weeks and there is alot to do, does anyone know the opening date of this ride?
Nrthwnd Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 And if the themeing and landscaping of this ride does any justice to the concept art.... Woof. It's going to be amazing just to walk to the boarding station with it writhing 'n rolling all around you, huh? Yum. (The video is wonderful - thanks to all who put it together.)
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 This thing maintains so much speed. It's gonna be a leg chopper extrordinare!
socalMAN123 Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Wow, this ride is looking pretty awesome! Thanks for the video whoever put it together. The theming looks awesome. ---Brent
WildMouse Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Just seen the video. I wish July would hurry up already!
