Comments

When it first opened, Mamba was one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world. To this day, Mamba remains as the longest (length) and fastest ride in Missouri.  That alone makes it 5 stars, but there is so much more to it than its size and speed.  Beginning with a massive 205 foot drop, this coaster reaches speeds of 75 mph.  Then you go into 2 other humongous hills, while being thrown out of your seat at the top, making it feel like you are flying. Soon after, you go in a huge circle, very close to the ground, and then get hit with a mister spray (a little bit of water in your face). Then it's bunny hills for the rest of the way that have large amounts of airtime.  Finally, you slam into the brakes, and get off the best ride at Worlds of Fun, and a Top 5 ride in the State of Missouri.
