Black Mamba, Inverted roller coaster in Phantasialand, Brühl, Germany

Black Mamba is an inverted roller coaster at Phantasialand in Brühl, Germany, built by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 2006. Its steel track was assembled from 70 sections made to a tolerance of 0.15 mm, joined from four starting points. The train hangs beneath the rails with riders' legs free, and about 66% of the layout lies below the level of the Deep in Africa area, in canyons and tunnels.

Black Mamba opened at Phantasialand on 24 May 2006. A day earlier, a pre-opening event let invited guests and members of the public bid for first rides, with proceeds going to build a school in Malawi through the RTL Spendenmarathon. The ride was designed by Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard and won the Parkscout Europe Jury Award 2009/2010 for Best Roller Coaster in Europe.

The station and the surrounding zone display architectural features from West African cities, particularly the mud buildings of Timbuktu and Djenné. This design choice creates a visual environment that transports visitors to a different world as soon as they enter the area.

Riders must be at least 10 years old and between 1.40 m and 1.95 m tall. Just before the station the queue splits into separate lines for row 1 and rows 2–8, and rows 4 and 5 each have a slightly larger seat. Two trains of eight cars, four seats per row, carry 32 passengers each.

Engineers filled the hollow steel rails with sand to minimize noise, while positioning two-thirds of the track below ground level. This combination of material choice and track placement helps keep the ride quieter for the surrounding area.
