Python was dismantled in 2015, together with the Flitzer coaster, to make room for the GaleForce coaster. RCDB lists it as later moved to CJ Barrymore's Family Entertainment Center in Clinton Township, Michigan, as Loop Roller Coaster, and then to Swampy Jack's Wongo Adventure in Panama City Beach, Florida, as Loop Coaster.
