The Python was a D.P.V. Rides designed Zyklon-style steel roller coaster. It operated from 1996 to 1999 at Splash Zone Water Park, but was relocated to Coney Island at the end of the 1999 season. Following Coney Island's removal of all their amusement rides in 2019, the Python was sold to an independent ride operator - Kissel Entertainment, who refurbished the coaster and began touring with it in 2023.{{Cite web|url=https://kisselentertainment.com/ride-details.asp?rideid=76|title=Python Roller Coaster|first=Matt's Web Design-|last=www.mwdwebdesign.com|website=Kissel Entertainment}}
