Python, Steel roller coaster in Cincinnati, Ohio
Python is a steel roller coaster in Cincinnati, Ohio, designed as a transportable ride with a compact footprint. The coaster features multiple inversions and tight turns characteristic of its Zyklon-style layout, allowing for intense directional changes throughout the ride.
The ride was originally installed at Splash Zone Water Park in 1996 and operated there until 1999. It was later relocated to Coney Island, where it remained in operation until 2019.
Python represented a common design among American amusement parks, following the traditional Galaxi layout pattern created by Daniel Pinfari.
Because this coaster has a transportable design, it requires thorough inspections between seasons to remain in safe operating condition. Visitors should be aware that maintenance work may affect the ride's availability.
The coaster is notable for being relocated from one park to another, which is uncommon for steel roller coasters. This mobility makes it a remarkable example of specialized ride design and engineering.
