Welcome to the tallest and most iconic roller coaster at Worlds of Fun! The MAMBA® was introduced to the park in 1998, and at the time of its debut it was one of the tallest and fastest in the entire world! The release of the MAMBA® placed Worlds of Fun in an elite class of roller coaster parks. The duration of the ride produces a stunning view of the entire park, and even downtown Kansas City.
Height Requirement: 48” minimum
MAMBA® begins by slithering 205 feet up the first hill, and follows with a gravity-defying drop of up to 75 miles per hour. This drop then immediately rolls into a second smaller hill of 184 feet which will have you floating in your seat! Next is the spiral helix which soars under support beams for the ride which seem uncomfortably close, but are in fact out of reach. MAMBA® then concludes with a series of camel back hills running alongside the two initial hills.
