Passing through Black Mamba's vertical loop
Black Mamba is the impressively themed B&M Inverted Coaster at Phantasialand in Germany.
The ride sits within the park's African themed section and takes riders on a journey through the landscapes of Western Africa, passing safari animals and a village complete with mud huts along the way.
Much of the track runs through various rocky ravines, which gives the ride distinctly Nemesis-eque vibes as it zooms past sheer rockfaces and through narrow tunnels.
Black Mamba is one of the less intense of Bolliger & Mabillard's Inverted coasters, which is actually quite welcome. It is still a fast paced ride full of G-forces, but the slightly less unrelenting pace gives rides a little more time to appreciate the incredible themed environment they are passing through.
