Python was a steel shuttle loop roller coaster that once thrilled guests at Six Flags America. Riders boarded a single train and were swiftly propelled forward by a powerful flywheel launch system, accelerating into a towering vertical loop. After completing the loop, the train ascended a steep incline on the far side, briefly stalling before gravity sent it rushing backward through the loop once more. The ride concluded as the train returned to the station, traversing the launch track in reverse.
