No more loopings! The Python in De Efteling is de-looped in the afternoon of January 15th 2018. The tracks are fully renovated at the oldest steel double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster of Europe. After about 36 years it was time to renovate this famous roller coaster. Perhaps one of the first roller coasters in Europe that was considered cultural heritage. The last ride was made on the 5th of January and the demolition started on Monday 8th January. After one week more than half of the tracks were dismantled.
The new Python (lets call it Python verson 2.0) is sheduled to re-open the last week of March or early April.
Python
Python is a double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. When it started operation, it was the largest steel roller coaster on the European mainland.
With Python, Efteling started the implementation of a new strategy: development from a fairy-tale forest into an all-round amusement park. This change led to many problems with the local community. Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers. Because of the likely noise pollution, the highest court of public justice ordered the construction to be stopped. After some time, construction could recommence, but legal problems continued for several more years.
In 2005 the trains were replaced by Kumbak Coasters designed by Karel Willemen and in December 2011 with Vekoma MK1212 trains. In mid January 2012, the python was fitted with new carriages. These new cars have a new set of restraints which accommodate the needs of riders large and small. There is a flexible over the shoulder strap which is not unlike those on accelerator coasters such as Kingda ka but slightly thicker. Over these are metal bars for riders to hold on to and to give support to the under straps. Also, the cars have been fitted with wheels that allow a smoother ride.

Python bivittatus
A gorgeous adult found crossing a forest road on a cool November night amid a flooded pine forest in south Florida. Pythons usually prefer freshwater marsh, but can be found in virtually any habitat in the Everglades. This is the lightest colored python I've seen, it was absolutely gorgeous.
Found at Marcoola Beach in Sunshine Coast. Queensland, Australia.
Found in grass in bush adjacent to beach.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
No, no the programming language but the roller coaster in Efteling... soaring just above us while we were having a waffle...
Indian Python
This Python was about 9 feet in length and it is still not fully grown.

Kids here keep pythons as pets and use them to pose for pictures at USD1 from tourist...
Bought them school stationery and books instead.
Python molurus bivittatus
At just under ten feet, this adult male python was quite a handful while being removed from the Florida everglades. These large, powerful snakes are wreaking havoc on native wildlife, with an estimated population of over 100,000 individuals in south Florida.
Aus dem TerraZoo in Rheinberg.
"Der Königspython (Python regius) ist eine Schlangenart innerhalb der Familie der Pythons (Pythonidae). Diese Riesenschlange bewohnt die Tropen West- und Zentralafrikas und ernährt sich von kleinen Säugetieren und Vögeln. Wie alle Mitglieder der Familie ist sie eine ungiftige Würgeschlange. Der Königspython ist mit einer maximalen Gesamtlänge von etwa 2 m die kleinste Art in der Gattung der Eigentlichen Pythons (Python)." (Wiki)

One of the biggest fans of the Python in De Efteling I know. Andy Ram has made 54 trips in a row non stop in this double loop corkscrew roller coaster on November 12, 2012. Here striking proudly a pose with a special edition of the Python hoody sweater with 3 collector pins in front of the Python which just made its first loop less than one week after re-opening after a full renovation.

In 2017 The Efteling decided to rebuild the old coaster, because the quality of the steel was decreasing. Begin 2018 the Efteling started to demolish the old track, The station and lifthill will remained . The belgian company CSM will produced the new track. The ride reopened at the 31 of March.

A reasonable sized python sits/lies in the rafters of a shaded sitting area at Australia Zoo. This guy isn't behind glass, he's just a few feet above folks having lunch.
I'm assuming Morelia spilota mcdowelli as this type is common in Queensland.
Stumbled across this Beautiful Python yesterday afternoon at Peterson Creek. He was loving the last sunshine for the day

This amazing sighting of 1 big python and 3 smaller ones( 2 on this picture) we had on the bridge over the Olifants river . These pythons were curled on the sticks that piled up on the pillars of the bridge. The next day they were gone. I have no idea if there is a family relationship between these pythons. Who can tell?

The last months of the Python version 1.0. Since 05/01/2018 the first version of the Python made its last ride. Between January and March (or April) most part of the tracks will be rebuilt and fully renovated.

In 1981 Colt introduced the Python Hunter, made about 2000 of them. In 1983 introduced the Python Silhoutte, only info I could find was that they made about 200, maybe 500 of them, I am going to send to Colt for the letter and find out how many were made. The Hunter and the Silhouette were both custom shop guns, came with the Leoplod scopes with the Leopold / Colt emblem on the scope. The serial number on mine indicates that it was made in 1981, but they weren't out even introduced till 1983. I believe from some research that Colt would take blocks of serial numbered guns from a year into the Custom Shop, and sometimes they were not even built till years later. The only difference between them was the scroll marks on the barrels and the case they came in.
Found that they are selling for about $4000, sometimes in less condition as mine with case and so forth.
Trying to find one for sale? Good luck. You MIGHT see a Hunter for sale online OCCASIONALLY.
