No licence-clean photograph of Python in Bamboo Forest has crossed our desk yet, so the card runs house illustration for now — a placeholder, not a stand-in for the real ride. Send us your shot of it (structure-first, no park logos or mascots in frame) and if it's the one, your name goes on the card — permanent, printed, yours.
Submitting a photo means signing in first — the credit line only means something attached to an account.

The story of Python in Bamboo Forest
Great Coasters International announced the project at the 2013 IAAPA Expo in Orlando under the name Viper. At the time, it was presented as the company’s tallest, fastest, and longest wooden coaster to date. coaster101.com· coaster101.com
The work was a substantial piece of timber engineering. Great Coasters International described the construction method as an on-site operation, with individual pieces cut, bolted, and raised by the company’s own construction team. attractionsmanagement.com
The ride opened with the park on 28 May 2016, after its announced name had been changed to Python in Bamboo Forest. The Wanda Group’s account records the opening of Nanchang Wanda Land on the same date. coasterpedia.net· wanda.cn
In a contemporary account of the bamboo-themed district, the coaster was described as a wooden landmark rising forty-eight metres and reaching 99.9 kilometres per hour, its structure standing among the park’s surrounding natural scenery. zqb.cyol.com
