Mamba, Steel hypercoaster in Kansas City, United States
Mamba is a steel hypercoaster in Kansas City, Missouri, that stretches across a large portion of the park with wide curves and gentle hills. The white steel track structure stands out against the sky and follows a layout with multiple ascents and descents.
The ride opened in the late 1990s and was one of the tallest steel coasters in the Midwestern United States at that time. It has remained a fixture in the amusement park and continues to draw visitors from across the region.
The coaster takes its name from a fast African snake and fits into the park's themed area representing different continents. Many visitors pause at the loading platform to photograph the trains before boarding.
The ride suits visitors aged 12 and up who enjoy longer journeys with continuous motion. Lines tend to be longer on weekends and during peak season, so visiting early in the morning or late afternoon is advisable.
The first drop after the lift hill offers an open view of the Kansas City skyline and surrounding green spaces. Riders in the back row feel a stronger pull during the transition from climb to descent.
