Very underated Hypercoater. This is a great coaster especially early in the season with the trims off. Many say that Mamba is the best morgan coaster around. It may be in the mid west but if your ever in the Missouri or Kansas City area, Visit Worlds of Fun instead of Six Flags St. Louis definitly a family friendly park.
10/10

This is definitely one of the better DH Morgan (now Chance Morgan) hypercoasters. The lift hill is fast, the ride is smooth and almost noiseless, plenty of negative and positive G's, and a great view to boot. If you sit of the right side of the train, you can see the entire park, but on the right is the parking lot. If you wait the extra ten minutes for a front row seat, you get the added bonuses of seeing the drop first and having a 75mph wind in your face (very cool). Not well known nationally, but very much so locally. If you happen to be near Kansas City, go to Worlds of Fun and ride this one.

This is an excellent coaster. Very smooth and tons of airtime at the top of every hill. The helix brings you back to reality with some awesome positive G's and some great headchoppers. If I had had time I definately would have ridden it again. This is one of the better hypers out there. I didn't know what to expect from a morgan hyper, but it was great. This is one of my favorite steel roller coasters after only one ride.

When I rode this ride opening year, it blew me away. This ride is just so fantastic! I always heard everyone talk about Steel Force and hardly ever heard about Mamba, so I figured Steel Force had to be better. Mamba made me hate Steel Force! This is so much better! This is my second favorite hypercoaster, first being Magnum (as much as I hate to be a conformist). This coaster is absolutely underated, and deserves much more attention, but it is held very affectionately close to those who are familiar with it. If you ever have the chance do not miss out on this ride! It may look 90% identical to Steel Force, but the first drop and helix alone set them miles apart.

Very underated. But this has to be the best hypercoaster I've ever been on. The first drop is a doozy towards the back, and the the front gives insane ejector air over the second hill and into the MCBRs. On the way up you get an incredible view of the Kansas City skyline (and the parking lot below). Mamba can even be seen when getting onto I-435 from I-70, some 8 miles away. This thing offers wicked airtime and speed, no matter where you sit. When I last went to Worlds of Fun (8/17/08), the trims were off or mostly off, and I've been on Mamba many times but only with full trims. I was laughing going over the bunny hills because we didn't lose any speed on the MCBRs. Great ride. 10/10
