History

Opening around the same time as Python, Monstrous Mamba was a flat ride that looked like a giant black octopus, and was located near present day Bengal Bistro. When it opened, it was still part of Stanleyville. A year later it became part of the newly designated Congo area.

A 2007 newspaper article reported the ride was sold for scrap.
