"Click, Click, Click, Click..." The Sound I hear for 46 seconds as I climb 205 feet into the air. The juices are flowin' inside of me as I look to my left and see the tiny cars in the Oceans of Fun Parking Lot as well as the meer Kansas City Skyline in the distance. I look behind me and See all of Oceans of Fun and realize that it is SO small! I then take a look to my right I see All of Worlds of Fun, from the tiny "Orient Express", to the midget "Le Taxi Tour" and on to all of the WOF parking lots Filled to capacity with cars. I become nervous even more as I look in front of me as I see and see NOTHING. The Clicking of the chain has stopped and I as well as the 35 other passengers of this African Snake are hanging absolutely still over the edge of this Monstorous hill. It is Silent, then Mamba takes us into its jaws as it drops us at speeds of 75 MPH instantly! My face is flying into the person behind me because forces 3.5 times greater than the Earth's Gravity are at work! Fast, and Furious the car climbs up the second hill of Mama (Almost 190 Feet Up!). I am then pulled back toward the ground as the dwarfed Timberwolf flashes by. Up one more time I go and around what seems like the tail of Mamba, coiled around in a circle. I am taken into this helix and spun around again and taken underneath where I was just at. With my hands raised high into the air I scream as the ominous silver supports above me are so close that I can almost touch them! What a rush! Just when I thought the ride was almost over, I am thrown up again and over a series of Camel Back Humps. . . out of my seat the entire time! WOW! Worlds of Fun then takes a picture of me and the other 35 as we speed around the station and back into Africa. Screeching to a stop in the station I clap as this ride on Mamba, The deadliest Snake in Africa, is Finished. "I have Survived Mamba!" I thought to myself as I left the station, laughed at my picture and got back in line for another ride.
