The Python is a thrilling ride that fits a maximum of four people in a raft and sends them racing through the "Python's belly. The whole ride winds its way through a depth of six meters and you get to see the fearful expressions of your friends as the raft drops and races through corners, drenching you with water in the process too. At the mid point, you are even subjected to a little surprise! The requirement to try the Python is that you should have a minimum height of one hundred centimetres.
