The first version of the Python about 4 months before its demolition in January 2018. The new Python with the same lay-out will be put into service at the end of March of 2018.
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 Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers.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.

This fine looking boy was given to us in order to get him to start eating again. Suffice to say, he ate the first time we offered him. One of my favourite color morphs of ball pythons.

The Python is undergoing a full renovation between January and March 2018. 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 sebae
Shot at the reptile farm near Kartong/Bambia. The shots of the snakes are not spectacular, as pictures. I put them here on flickr because these snakes are so impressive, at least to me.
The Pythons in Karton were kept in a "small house" wich could be entered. So did we. In front of us we saw three big ones. The largest apr. 6 meter. We were told that they would not attack: they look at the size of their prey; when to big they don't do anything... While taking position to capture the one on the photo I heard sissling next to my knee... hmm time to say goodbey to the python's. Outside I had a closer look through one of the windows, there were 5 guys crawling round.
From wikipedia:
This is one of the world's largest species of snakes,with adults reaching lengths of over 6 m (20 ft). The typical adult length is 4.8 m (16 ft) and rumors of specimens over 6 m (20 ft) are generally considered reliable, but larger specimens have never been confirmed.
Southern African Python (Python sebae natalensis)
The color pattern is typically brown, with olive and tan irregular blotching, fading to white on the underside. At a glance, they can be easily mistaken for the Burmese python, P. m. bivittatus, but the two species are not closely related.
Africa’s largest snake (3) (4), the African rock python (Python sebae) has a long, stout body, patterned with blotches that vary in colour between brown, olive, chestnut and buffy yellow, often joining up in a broad, irregular stripe. The triangular head has many sharp, backwardly curved teeth and is marked on top with a dark brown “spear-head” outlined in buffy yellow. Under the eye is a distinctive triangular marking, known as a subocular mark. Like all pythons, the scales of the African rock python are small and smooth, and those around the lips possess heat-sensitive pits, which are used to detect warm-blooded prey, even in the dark. Pythons also possess two functioning lungs, unlike more ‘advanced’ snakes which have only one, and also have small, visible pelvic ‘spurs’, believed to be the vestiges of hind limbs.

The new Python looks fresh again and it runs smoothly through the loopings, cork screws and Bayern curves. Good idea of De Efteling to keep this iconic roller coaster which can be considered cultural heritage for the Netherlands and neighboring countries including France.
Operation Python
At the beginning of 2018 a large part of the attraction will be demolished and then re-built. That is the first time that the Efteling does that at a major attraction.
Only the lift, the station and the foundation are retained. The remainder of the runway is cut into pieces of five meters with a cutting torch, then a crane is loaded onto a truck and then disposed of together with the disassembled uprights as old iron. A steel company in Belgium makes the new job and stands for the Python. The new Python will look as good as possible on the old track, only the supports on which the rails will rest will be round instead of square.
The rebuilding of the attraction will take the most time. The bolted connections are assembled with a team of about 30 people. The installation of the loops will take place in four large parts of every eleven meters. This is followed by a twelve-day test program, whereby deliberate errors are made to test the emergency stop systems. Project leader of this "Operation Python" is Frank Poels.
