The Python was opened in the Efteling in 1981. At the time of the opening this steel rollercoaster was the longest roller coaster in mainland Europe. The Python is 750 metres long and 29 metres tall. It has two loops and two cork screws. The Python takes you up to a speed of 85 km/h in 140 seconds with the biggest drop being a full 22 metres. The maximum G-forces you will experience are 3.5 positive (in your seat) and 0 negative (out of your seat). 360 Panorama View Tip! if it is your first time riding the Python, inform the staff and you may get a special certificate
