^ Oh i was just about t0o post that link. LOL. Oh well it looks awesome doesnt it. Im sceptical about it being as good as nemmy as i have already said in the patriot forum. But it could be even better, im just not getting my hopes up of a ride capable of topling my number 1 coaster.

it prolly will have alot of speed since the drop is way above ground, and alot of the course is at ground lever or below

oh my god, seriously now, this ride is starting to look really really impressive. Coming from someone who has ridden Nemesis more times than he can remember, this ride will be awesome! It looks to me, like B&M have listened to what people are saying about them, the lack of g's and originality and so on, I know that's not true because it's the parks specification and the designers mind that decide what the ride will be like, but you know, it just seems that way. This ride will clearly be really fast, well seem faster than it is, just like Nemesis. Some of the turns and elements look so tight aswell, it really does look impressive, I wasn't paying much attention to this when it started out, but now I'm starting to think this might be the best ride built on this continent for quite some time, too much time infact.

Looks amazing. It amazes me how B&M can put down footers, put up supports, then put up track, and not be more than a millimeter off... Especially in situations like those. That terrain looks impossible!

I love the water falls and rocks on nemesis. Your feet get so close to them, it just heightens the sense of speed. I expect Black mamba will be very similar in that respect. The ride will feel alot quicker anyway because of the terrain and scenery, even if it only ends up with a speed at around 50mph. Nemesis feels fast as you go into the helix after the first corkscrew, and by then you are only going at 30 - 35mph. It doesnt reach 50mph until the very bottom of the dropping helix into the zero G.

I really hope this ride is forceful, which it will be most probably. I heard phantasialand asked for it to be forceful. Is that right?

Does this mean the station is completely undergound (which would be really cool), or is this just the begining of the lift hill? I only noticed it because of how thick the track is.

well....since the extensize theming and the station is placed in a trench (can be seen in early const. pics) it wil be very likely that the only parts above ground are going to be the first part of the mid section of the lift, the drop, the loop, the zero-g, immelman, crocks and overbanks

hyyyper, you might well get very disappointed! There is no single evidence of "crocks" to be found on that construction site, and as far as rumors go, there also won't be any finally. [:D]
