It has a classic out-and-back layout, which is equipped with a 63 m high first hill, a second 56 m high hill, a 580 ° helix at a speed of more than 96 km / h, and five other hills and a particularly rare double-up hill.
Trains
Mamba owns three trains with six cars each. Six people (three rows of two people) can be seated in each car.
Template for the Steel Dragon 2000
Two years after this roller coaster opened, the Steel Dragon 2000 roller coaster opened at Nagashima Spa Land amusement park . This roller coaster, also designed by Steve Okamoto , is very similar to Mamba , which is why it can be assumed that the Steel Dragon 2000 is a further development of the Mamba design . The clearest matches include two large hills after the first drop (first descent) and a clockwise helix that directly adjoins the second hill. With the Steel Dragon 2000 , a second helix then follows counterclockwise. Then there is a reduction brake on both roller coasters , which is located next to the first hill. This is followed by several small hills in a row, which are located next to the lift on both roller coasters.
Before Mamba and the Steel Dragon 2000 , Steve Okamoto had designed the Wild Thing and Steel Force roller coasters . All of these four roller coasters have certain similarities in appearance.
