Python, Steel roller coaster in Busch Gardens Tampa, US.

Python was a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa in Florida, built by Arrow Development as a Corkscrew model. Its 1,200-foot (370 m) track, painted bright yellow with brown and later black and yellow, included a double corkscrew and a 72-foot (22 m) lift hill. The ride reached 40 mph (64 km/h).

Arrow Development built this attraction, which opened on July 1, 1976, as the first new roller coaster at the park since 1959. It operated for 30 years before closing in 2006.

Python was themed to its snake namesake: the two trains, each with six cars seating 24 riders, were painted black and yellow. Its tagline, "I challenged the Python and lived!", was dropped a few weeks after opening when a 39-year-old heart patient died shortly after riding.

Python closed permanently on October 31, 2006, so the ride cannot be boarded today; its site in the Congo section was later rebuilt as the Jungala area. Riders were once required to be at least 42 inches tall, and each train seated 24 people in six cars arranged two across. A single cycle lasted about a minute.

Python's two trains, each with six cars seating 24 riders, were sent to Busch Gardens Williamsburg after the 2006 closure for use on Loch Ness Monster, another Arrow Development coaster. The ride's tagline, "I challenged the Python and lived!", was dropped a few weeks after opening when a 39-year-old heart patient died shortly after riding.
