Darien Laker Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 ^^ Haha yeah, hopefully they'll remove Kumba or Montu instead. (Dripping with sarcasm, for those who couldn't tell) Maybe they can sell Python to some small park and those with Arrow Corkscrew fetishes can still get their fix. I can't imagine who would want it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdanny Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 ^Cool! One less person in line for the good rides! I was kidding. I still hopes it stays. I honestly don't think it will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvcoasterguy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I always like getting my Arrow Corkscrew credit, and I have no idea why. Probably because it's just old, and I like the older rides. Also, I'm tall enough that my head is far away from the dreaded Arrow harnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 First we're losing the Screw Coaster and now Python is facing a similar fate. I got to ride it with Erik Johnson last weekend, and took a few pictures and a little bit of video. When we got to the ride, it was closed due to the rain, but we were on the second train out when it opened back up. Anyone here want to work on a Python tribute video?

Ive got some footage of it, and I think Ill get some more this weekend if I go. Well now I guess the rumors are true, Im sad now. Colin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Does that mean they're removing that cool bridge that goes through the cobra roll? Or is that the only way to get to the rapids ride, I forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^There are two bridges to the River rapids area. *The cobra roll bridge thats being removed . *The bridge over by the left of Kumba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ^Its not the "only way" but its the easiest to use from the Stanlyville area. They wont tear it out, dont worry, that bridge isnt going anywhere!!! Colin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trustkill22 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thats a nice clean video Erik. Thanks for posting it. I dont know much about the Busch Gardens parks but I like how the announcing over the speakers gives all the warnings and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdanny Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I called the park last weekend and they said it wasen't being removed. I really hope it stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyT Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well maybe its not being removed YET.... Well, i got my last ride about a month ago, and yeah, it sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdanny Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If it's going to get removed, I hope it's after next summer so I can ride it. That's probably wishful thinking . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Rode it on the 25th. Yeah, so it kicked my ass, but it wasn't all THAT bad. Then again, I unbelievably (to some) found Gwazi Lion in the front seat very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I rode Python in July 2002 when I was there. Identical to Knott's old Corkscrew; short, but a fun ride nonetheless. Whether it stays or goes is apparently up in the air, so it seems. I can understand taking it out. It is old, and newer rides have certainly supassed it in terms of thrills. And the space could be used for something new, though I'm not sure a playground is the best use. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Im still not sure if it will be removed Is it possible that they just have a bunch of older maps left in stock and they aren't rotating them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ^ It does seem odd that some people have a map that shows Python cleared out, and others have maps that still show Python. My guess is that you're right, Robb. I've seen the same thing at SFMM, too. They've given me maps from the previous year because they had 'em left over.
