Black Mamba is a steel inverted roller coaster located in Phantasialand in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 2006. Like many modern Bolliger & Mabillard coasters, the track is filled with sand to absorb rattling and to reduce noise.^{[citation needed]}
