Python is a D.P.V. Rides designed Zyklon-style steel roller coaster currently owned & travelled by US carnival operator Kissel Entertainment. It previously operated at Splash Zone Water Park (at the time called Nickel's Midway Pier) and Coney Island.

History

On September 11, 2019, Coney Island announced that it would close the amusement park section and focus entirely on its water park. Python closed with the rest of the park on September 21.[1]

In 2023, the ride began touring with Kissel Entertainment. The ride was given a repaint and refurbishment under its new owners, now having green track and green ride cars.[2]
