Hopefully the fact that the airtime is mostly floater and not hitting extremes means it won’t create too much extra wear and tear so they keep the trim off, having Mamba be a great ride as opposed to a deeply disappointing one is huge for the park

Mamba is also my favorite at the park, row 3 is my favorite seat. I also got to ride at night when the fireworks were going off so that was pretty cool too.

This thing absolutely blew me away when I visited last summer. It rides like a modern magnum, and on the day I visited temps were soaring. Every hill gave borderline violent ejector and the midcourse still barely touched the train. It’s a top 25 coaster for me.

This was running so good this summer and it was my husbands favorite coaster on our month long mid west coaster trip

I absolutely love magnum xl200, this just looks like that again, but smoother.

Mamba is now running like it did when it first opened. Back then, I remember the ejector airtime on those bunny hills being insane. So, it was a huge disappointment when they overdid it with the midcourse brakes, it killed all of the fun. When I got a first ride after they changed the control system I was stunned; in disbelief at how much I thoroughly enjoyed it and how giddy it made me. The floater off the lift hill and then the camel back is exquisite. Your butt is out of the seat and you effectively free fall until the train smacks down on the track in the valleys. I actually have to brace for it since it can be jarring. Whereas the midcourse trim had become a buzzkill, now you go flying when it drops into the bunny hills. You’re in air more than you’re seated and absolutely haul into the final brake run where you get one last pop of airtime in the front. One of Mamba’s strengths is the length of its trains. Yeah, it cranks out more passengers per hour. However, the beauty of its length is that the front and back rows offer different ride experiences - floater vs ejector. It’s almost like riding two different coasters. (Row 3 is my go-to.) Mamba has gone from “I might as well ride since I’m here and that camel back is kind of cool” to being an absolute must ride with each visit. I know many in the coaster community have been underwhelmed by the new Zambezi, but I have grown to absolutely love it. With Mamba, Zambezi, and Prowler, Worlds of Fun has one of the most underrated coaster lineups out there. Those three sure got me back to the park more times than any year in the past.

This year was my first time I visited WoF and Mamba was indeed, spectacular. Yeah, it blew Steel Force and Steel Eel(the only Morgan's I've ridden) away. Although I still love Steel Eel for its "unique" air time. Personally, I thought the magic seat was in row 3 like Magnum(but I really dislike Magnum and love this coaster)... They had a sprinkler running on the bottom of the helix and we were coming in so hot they were watering down the brake run too. BTW, going to Canobie for the first time on Sunday for Screemfest...despite the fact I live in CT. So I probably should have gotten around to it sooner lol

With the trims off it’s amazing. I flew through those last bunny hills last time I rode

I lucked out just happening to make my first trip to WOF last June. i had heard the trim was turned off but I was not prepared for how awesome that ride was. I get bored sometimes with B&M hypers and their redudnancy (why Goliath is my favorite). I flew in to KC on a Saturday and waited 3 hours since it was on one train, but it was worth it. Went back the next morning for rope drop and got 4 walk on rides before heading to Branson. I went to WOF really just to check it off my list but Mamba has made me want to come back. Also thanks for answering my question about filming at Lagoon. Had an awesome time it's such a great park.

Valleyfair.... you know what to do.

I couldn't believe this was the same coaster I rode in 2020! Definitely one of the best glow-ups a coaster has had in recent memory.

Oh man, rode Mamba for the first time this July and LOVED IT. I enjoyed it way better than Magnum, which is the only ride that I've ridden that's comparable to Mamba. Riding it in the back was my favorite, you get literally YANKED down the first drop. Such a fun ride!

This makes me really happy cuz for years now the only park has been running steel force largely trimless and I don't mean like there's no dreams. I just mean like they don't hit hard not like mamba and wild thing used to or do, and it really made the ride. Amazing for that second half. Nothing but floating and I'm so happy they decided to do it with another

This is one of fhe best coasters now. Steel force needs this treatment

Funny thing is, nagashima spaland executives actually visited this park to ride mamba and then basically said, yep we need this but just make it the longest coaster in the world, and then make it 318 feet high.

I rode wild thing just last week and unfortunately we got stuck at the top of the lift hill but the breaks of the return were almost not there. I done know if this was just the ride I happened to be on but it was amazing I've never experienced a Morgan like that and it was awesome!!

I know i don't have the huge sizeable coaster count 76, and with it being my old home park, there's nostalgia as it's my most ridden coaster, so with the changes, it's in my top ten which puts it in the top 13% of coasters which I think is a good way to look at it, even without the bias.

Yeehaw I just got more excited for my first visit.

So mad my WoF trip fell thru this year, maybe next year I can finally get out to KC

For years, this was my # 4 in the park. Now, it's a clear top 2. I love row 3 the best. Magnum had 2 airtime moments that seemed slightly stronger in row 3, but Mamba is far more comfortable and enjoyable. Last night, after getting a ride, I went back and almost was on the train that had to get evacd off the top of the lift hill. One side note: the park always has the waterpark entry open, even during Haunt. The waterpark is closed, but you can just take the path that drops you right in front of Mamba, allowing plenty of time for rides before crowds get there from the main entrance. I also think it's a shorter walk, and you never have a bad traffic jam when leaving the parking lot, which always happens in the main lot on Haunt nights.

I really agree and it’s way better than steel force and wild thing to me but what are your thoughts, is it better than steel force and wild thing also great video

Love worlds of fun!

the new system made it impossible to run 3 trains

I'm still not sure if I'll put it over Steel Force. Steel Force's operations had some critical improvements this year over last year's. I still find Dorney Park very visitable, it's not too far of a drive from Ocean City. I'm heading to WoF next year, and although I'm sure Mamba will be awesome, I'm not sure it's going to be a priority for me. I just don't know if in future years it'll be worth traveling all the way to Kansas City for what is effectively a beefed up Steel Force...

"... improving over 200 spots" Damn!

Will this ever happen on wild thing at valley fair?

Would you rank this above Steel Force at Dorney?

Is this ride like a b&m hyper? and are there any b&m hypers that are better than this/ i am coming to this park for my birthday

Ahhh... Redemption

Where is mamba in your rankings, and is it better than prowler?

Like Magnum, rows 3 and 18 are the magic rows.

This POV shows how the ride was running last year, nearly identical to how it runs now. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/layfe6xnr9Gmk3k.htmlsi=0UKjOT6A2RM_wOPS

So this were steel dragon 2000 came from

I like wild thing mamba it's the same as wild thing steel force same thing as the other 2

I still prefer prowler but mamba is only 4 spots behind it on my overall list

I'm planning on taking a trip to Worlds of Fun for the first time in 2024 maybe in April. I'm excited that everyone is talking about how mamba is running great without the trim brakes. But I'm really not to excited to ride it even after all of the hype and you know why. I finally rode My first Morgan coaster Steel Eel last year at SeaWorld San Antonio and I was not impressed about the way the coaster slams you down in you seat after each valley of the hills. It hurts like he'll and I can literally say that B & M coasters are way much better than the Morgan's. I also didn't like steel Eels first drop how it have that big crest before the real drop even began which to me takes away the feel of the negative g's. Which B&M hypers don't crest their coaster the same way which it's more fun. Can anybody tell me if I'm gonna get the same experience on Mamba as I did on steel eel or will it be like my Nitro at Sixflags great adventure, full of good airtime and not slamming you down in the seat after each drop Tell me please someone tell me.

Wild thing (except its real name should be take out the W and I and replace them with a single M) hasn't yet figured out that when you turn the midcourse on it turns people off

I thought the steelhawk was the tallest ride at worlds of fun

Different

Still not as good as the purple Kennywood airtime machine
