Python, Steel roller coaster in Efteling, Netherlands
The Python reaches a height of 29 meters and features two loops and a corkscrew along its 750-meter steel track circuit.
When it opened on April 12, 1981, the Python was the largest and most advanced roller coaster on the European mainland.
The construction decision marked a shift in Efteling's strategy from fairy tale attractions to more intense rides for teenagers and young adults.
The attraction requires a minimum height of 1.20 meters and includes a single rider queue to reduce waiting times during busy periods.
In 2018, the entire track was dismantled and rebuilt with modern engineering standards while maintaining the original layout and design.
