Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: rjholla2003 on January 16, 2006, 04:38:17 PM: Black Mamba is a B&M inverted coaster being built at Phantasialand in Germany for the 2006 season. It looks spectacular and is sure to thrill many for years to come. To see the official construction picture gallery, click this link: http://www.phantasialand-bruehl.de/park/bilder_/bmdia.html

Post by: Nitro1118 on January 16, 2006, 06:37:27 PM: I'm one fo the few who think it will be better than Nemesis. It has a much better layout, and is extremely compact. As long as the theming is good as it looks in the drawing, it will be amazing!

Post by: chilled182 on January 16, 2006, 08:31:17 PM: WHOA. Is there a story line to this? I mean.. they might beat nemisis on ride.. but its alll about the cool story! :D
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: rjholla2003 on January 16, 2006, 08:32:22 PM: I was joking on CS that I was goign to crash at my cousin's over in Germany so I could ride it this summer. Now my joke can never come to life since he's done doing The Lion King over there and he's in NYC to get another gig. Oh well. I'll just have to book a hotel now. :lol:

This is my favorite looking ride of 06, with The Voyage at number 2, and El Toro 3rd. Expedition Everest would probably be at 3, but I'm not really following it.

Post by: blazzinmatt on January 17, 2006, 05:19:53 PM: Wow I definitely wanna ride this. That ride looks aweswome. Even the colors go together really well with the are its in. I can't wait to see it circuiting and completed.

Post by: sfgadvfreak on January 17, 2006, 07:44:11 PM: What a twisted coaster. It looks like it is gonna be very very intense. Now only if I lived in Europe....
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: WadeJ on January 17, 2006, 07:49:05 PM: wow :shock:

that is the most I have looked into this ride. WOW that looks awesome. THAT is how you install a coaster!

Post by: KingdaKaRuler05 on January 18, 2006, 02:08:41 PM: This thing looks great! I love the layout and how it blends into the village. The theming looks amazing as well. Could this be a top invert?

Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: chilled182 on January 23, 2006, 04:12:46 PM: it appears as though the circuit is completed. And im not sure how theyre going to fit a train with tall people through those holes.

I would love to see this thing completed.
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: rjholla2003 on January 23, 2006, 04:37:57 PM: There's still some stuff going into the station that's yet to be complete AFAIK. I sure wonder what it's going to be like when complete. Driving by and seeing a train leap into that "Jr. Immelman" is going to be an interesting site, and has to be crazy from the other perspective.
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: overlord on January 23, 2006, 04:43:24 PM: I like how the one guy was like "LOOK ON PAGE 18!" then the other guy was like "sorry i didnt see it." Germans are funny. Good thing i can translate some of this. :D Also the RCT pictures are pretty good even though they arent in extreme detail. It gives me a sense of what the lift is going to be. Can anyone make the layout on NL for us? Like a total recreation?
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: rjholla2003 on January 23, 2006, 04:45:17 PM: I'm sure that some very elite NoLimits using Germans will be making a treat for us once they get their hands on some specs.

I'm just suprised that no one said anything about the little boo-boo.
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: overlord on January 23, 2006, 04:51:09 PM: What little boo-boo? What happened? Are you referring to that piece that the germans circled in red on their forums?
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: sfgadvfreak on January 23, 2006, 05:47:31 PM: The piece that was misalined in the Zero-G roll. It looked like it was off a couple inches. RJ linked it saying "oops" :lol:
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: rjholla2003 on January 24, 2006, 04:29:22 AM: Yep, the Zero-G roll is what I was referring to. It looks like they simply bent it into place. It's just wierd to see them putting the track together and it doesn't fit. I wonder who's to blame for that one.
Title: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: sfgadvfreak on January 24, 2006, 08:12:32 PM: Johnny at the plant made a whoopsie! He sneezed when he was putting numbers into the bending machine!

Post by: sfgadvfreak on March 21, 2006, 03:07:32 PM: I just love how the buildings tower over it and it looks like the ride itself is entrenched. It looks liuke such an awsome ride, and I wish some of those intense semi-underground European inverts would head there way over here!

The problem is that you can't hotlink rcdb's images.
Title: Re: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: chilled182 on May 14, 2006, 09:55:27 PM: is the actual theming and structure of this ride finished yet? I would love to see an overview of what its really supposed to look like, its hard to process all of those tight spaces and turns that you see.
Title: Re: Official Black Mamba "Constriction" Thread
Post by: Dubya91 on May 15, 2006, 12:42:40 AM: Wow, this ride looks awsome with all that themeing and "chopping" feelings and effects, the themeing though is taking longer to build and sculpt then teh ride did but wow, they are in for a treat over there in europe!

Did anybody else see that IKEA car in the pictures? :P
