Nemesis go bye-bye.

 

If Phantasia Land put in all the detail the concept art shows, this ride is going to be so cool! *can't wait for the summer*

[DATman]

Well, this beats any other coasters theming this year for sure, and I think it will top a lot of the new coasters!

[MARK]

Although I'm not sure where all of the plantlife you see in the Art concepts are going to go. There doesn't look like there's much room in between the coaster and the fake rocks and the buildings and everything.

 

And also, the trees and bushes they've already planted don't look very jungle-like to me.......although I'm not a huge expert in that area, so they could be.

[s2pids2]

i'm pretty sure the ride is going to look absolutely amazing when it's done. on top of that, it's pretty well concealed with all of the tunnels and pathways that it winds it's way through.

 

the most exciting coaster in years!

Looking great! Again, still not sure where all that plantlife that made the concept art look so great is going to go...

[BeemerBoy]

^ The 6th pic down is simply ridiculous!! Voyage who? El Toro who? Tatsu who?

I think we're looking at the undisputed "yet-to-be-ridden by the GP" champion of 2006.

 

So how much does a flight to Germany cost anyway?

[Nrthwnd]

Looking better and better - more awesome with every building and cover-up completed....

 

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with the progress of BM.

^I can't get enough of it! I'm so geeky the first thing I do is get up and scan through all the websites that show Black Mamba's construction!

 

I have to keep repeating to myself: 'it's only a hobby, it's only a hobby, it's only an interest, it's only a hobby...'

[rollermonkey]

So, what's the target opening date for this beauty? If I get to go on the UK trip, I may have to modify my itinerary a bit.

[Machtin]

Now look at this:

 

new photos

 

Best photos I have seen in a while.

 

Does anyone still doubt that they won't come near to the artworks?

Everything is taking shape now and the evolution the area has had in the last few weeks is nothing but amazing.

 

I'm counting the days (if I only knew how many days that is)

[MARK]

^some great angles! The coaster looks like it will be incredibly disorientating, with all of the direction changes and dives and lifts under and over walkways and earth.

 

Here are some more shots and angles of the same work. http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=22145&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=700&-1

 

I tell you, the enthusiasm of these websites is incredible!

[rollermonkey]

Der WOW!

(Sorry, I don't know much Deutsch.)

 

Where did the coaster go?

That thing is looking like it will be enclosed completely at the rate they are covering it up!

 

When I first saw the brown and black, I didn't like it, now it fits perfectly!

[Wishmaster]

Phantasialand has announced the opening dat for Black Mamba!

 

There is a Pre-opening on 23 May (seats for the first ride are auctioned on this site) and the official opening is on 24 May.

 

You can also find the titelsong for Black Mamba on this page.

[CoasterCrazy]

The coaster is really coming along and the scenery looks awesome!

 

After looking at the latest pictures, I have officially made up my mind that I'm coming on the 2008 TRP EURO Trip!!!

[Billy]

wow, look how quick the transition is from the 0-g roll into the Jr. Immelman. from those new pics -that looks like its gonna pack a punch. hopefully.

[redunzelizer]

A bridge. Right through the loop.

 

http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=23300&start=68

[rollermonkey]

OK, I know of two other vertical loops with a walkway through the middle: Supersonic Odysee in Malaysia and French Revolution in South Korea.

In both of those cases, the walkway is blocked off so that you can't pass through the loop.

 

Will they allow people arcoss this bridge, or will they be afraid of kids throwing stuff at the train?

[3rdShiftCM]

^ I wonder if this being an Invert would make a difference? I still can't believe that there will be walkways through the area to begin with.

 

The ride looks amazing, just one more reason to go to Germany.

[rollermonkey]

^Good question!

Those are both standard sit down coasters. On an invert, the track is between the walkway and the train. Maybe...

 

It will be particularly cool if that path is part of the queue.

No its not a part of the queue but you will be able to walk trough it.

The themed part of the park (africa) will have two parts to enter it.

The first one is near the mine train entrace witch will guide you trough the loop.

The other one begins with a bridge over the road between the park what brings you to the middle of the section near the small buildings.

You could see www.phantasialand.de for a parkmap to understand what i mean.

I've said this once before on an earlier post and I think I'll say it again. This ride is going to surprise alot of peeps. Not only is the ride beyond sensory-overload, but I venture to guess this could "POSSIBLY" overtake the throne to *cough*Nemisis*cough. That may be stretching it a bit far, but once the ride opens, I can almost have complete confidence that people will NO DOUBT compare this along with Nemesis. Could these (Nemesis and Black Mamba) be the best 2 B&M's ever built?

A heap more detail has gone in, the bridge is now through the loop, and the stairs leading down to the walkway under the coasters second flatspin have been placed.

 

An overview of the area:
