The Family Python is the signature attrac- tion in WhiteWater’s Megatube Series. At 43ft (13m)-tall and 430ft (131m)-long,
the attraction is a multi-sensory overload of twists, turns and drops. Built for two- to six- person rafts, the Family Python swallows riders into its 20ft (6m) enclosed Megatube where they oscillate up and down during the exhilarating experience. The structure is manufactured using
WhiteWater Composites Silktek thin fi bre- glass. The company’s closed-moulded process ensures that each piece created has consistent thickness, reinforcing its strength and durability.
