After Prowler let us down we needed a coaster that wouldn't.

Mamba has only one negative being a mid-course brake that robs some of the airtime on its return run but the rest of it is filled with airtime and head chopper fun.  Thankfully it had two train operations from the start of the day (something that from what we have heard has been a rarity) so we were able to loop around and around ride Mamba over and over again.

There are two "new" rides for 2017.  Don't take the quotation marks around new as a slur on these additions.  Both of them are actually used rides purchased in Europe a couple of years ago by Worlds of Fun's parent company Cedar Fair.  What Cedar Fair was looking for was classic rides that could be purchased used, restored and then added to their parks.

One of the two "new" rides that Worlds of Fun got is the Mustang Runner.
