Visiting Switzerland's Largest Theme Park Conny-Land, and Experiencing Some VERY Unique Rides!

We had an action packed day in Switzerland, making 3 different stops for some very unique attractions! First we'll visit what can only be described as a literal playground so we can experience our first ever butterfly and water jump! We had wayyyy too much fun here. Next we'll visit Switzerland's largest theme park Conny-land, home to a one of a kind Pax shuttle coaster called Cobra. Finally, we'll head over to Ticiland to ride a fairly new Zierer family coaster. It's a lot to cover.... come join us for the day!

Switzerland looks like one of the most beautiful places on earth.

[@iitzfizz]

That's what I was thinking! Stunning.

[@aoilpe]

It definitely is …!

[@Archie_T_Sharpe000]

It’s is, but it’s sooooo expensive

[@rollertoaster812]

I went there once, and yeah, it is. 😊

[@danielfitzgerald2561]

I flew over it once as I had a layover in Zurich It's truly stunning

[@AniiAviator]

honestly one of the best episodes of coastin through europe

[@AlexanderOnFire]

23:46 There actually were Dolphins in the big closed off area you mentioned earlier. It was like the main attraction of Conny Land. Though around 2010 the park was constantly in the news because in only 3 years 8 Dolphins died. This went up to the Swiss Parliament and they decided in 2013 to not allow anymore to import Dolphins into Switzerland in general, which put an end to the Dolphins in Conny Land.

[@Themeparkyle]

Dude that’s so interesting

[@dliessmgg]

Conny-Land was originally founded to be like a small version of seaworld, they used to have dolphins with which they did shows multiple times a day. But as animal welfare became more of a topic they got more and more under critique, so they pivoted away from that and towards having more rides.

[@michael7054]

Great video! A lot of different, unique, and odd, but fun rides in this video at these places! I really enjoyed watching this! The next video looks interesting with fun rides! I'm really looking forward to watching it!

[@DaanBruins]

2:32 It's called a nautic jet and they're found all throughout Europe. They're made by a company called Heege (which is now owned by Sunkid), they also make the Luna Loops (the 'flippy thing'), the Cable Cars (the one that goes through the plants) and the Butterfly among many other self-operated rides. I love them.

[@TeleMA50c]

19:35 hahaha so someone was on a ski lift that stopped in the middle of 2 support towers and saw the thrill ride potential 🤣

[@GoudLoodje]

16:56 "Mein Held" is the German translation for "My hero"

[@TestingTesting-tl7pz]

So Taylor said, “That’s not my hero, that’s Einstein” so in a way he was right 😂

[@shauniegirl5598]

I always love the different kind off cooky off beat parks. Great job as usual you guys!!!!!

[@what_27]

10:44 that person in the background doing ✌️ for the video 😂

[@DaniloGruber]

I live in switzerland and I’m OBSESSED with coasters.. I think switzerland should have more coasters or atleast a few, big attraction parks with big rides..

[@raphaelheiz4147]

I am swiss to. Arround our area where we live, there is a LOT of spare land. A view decades ago they wanted to build there a big amousment park. The problem is: Switzerland is tooo expensiv. I mean: Europapark costs 60 EUR a day to enter. Conny Land, which is very, very small and has no big coasters or something like this, costs about 40 EUR. I think, you could build 100 Conny Lands inside of Europapark, it's so small. Now imagine, having a big amousment park in Switzerland, paying Swiss salarys: A ticket for a day would cost you 150-200 EUR/CHF. I mean: "Bratwurst mit Pommes" for 13 CHF, like in the video: That's cheap. And the two other plates, 40 EUR with something to drink: Very cheap too. If you go eating lunch in a Restaurant, normaly only the menu would cost you about 25 EUR. With a drink and a coffee at the end: 30-35 EUR. So a big theme park in Switzerland: Only rich people could affort it. So they declined the plans. The ingredible big landscape is still "plain". The landscape is easy twice as big as the landscape from Europapark.

[@wildcraftone]

A Europapark sized park, out of the question. A small boutique, regional park - Absolutely :) Would an RMC in Switzerland be alright by you two?

[@JosephKanagy]

I really enjoyed the video! I love how you stopped at the playground! They need playgrounds like this in the US!

[@MyDogMila]

These vlogs are so good. Loving this series so far!

[@GeorgiannaMartin]

I am an old fan of amusement park rides- thank you for this fun video that took me down memory lane for a stroll❤❤❤

[@liller5494]

25:35 my condolences for that tragic fist bump, if you can even call it that 😂

[@Thelightning1out]

Just from the intro, this is gonna be an insane vlog!

[@AttractionSource]

It's so fun following along, the series just get better and better ❤

[@MikeyLikesIt619]

So my takeaway... Switzerland is lit!!!! One day.

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah those are some unique rides. Especially the stuff at that airfield in the beginning is just absolute classic goodness! These kinds of self operated rides by Sunkid are all over Europe, especially at very small and local parks but also some mid sized ones. The Nautic Jet boat jumps are just plain incredible and I'm so glad to see you 2 finally trying them.

[@noahmathers9436]

06:31 zörsd bihe plas näihäm danat jätan einwörfen 😂😂😂😂 Damn I love it 😂😂

[@horizons83]

don’t forget to mention Happyland in Valais … well naaah, you can forget it ! glad you enjoyed your time in Switzerland !

[@confuseray1230]

I love seeing these Americans sooo exicited by some Nautic Yets and a Butterfly, both of which you can find aaaaalll over the place here in Germany and Central Europe 😆

[@moritzgran9541]

hey guys, im an enthusiast from the south of germany, following you for ages. I always love to see you discover europe! it always makes me so happy seeing you enjoy our beautiful region

[@CalebVB]

This and Rulantica are what I’ve been looking forward to this whole season🙌

[@Itmadmat]

that ride looks so cool to ride😊

[@Demetrisadventures]

This is An incredible episode. There’s something unique and cool about it that just made it so much fun.

[@Cypher_vr1]

yo i love this channel keep up the great work!

[@TheNinjaDC]

"Why are playgrounds in Europe so much cooler than the US?" *Lawyers.*

[@chumley04]

Went Switzerland last year. Worth the money 💰

[@JosephKanagy]

I have a feeling next episode is gonna be one of the best 😁

[@CoasterStudios]

its a fun one!

[@davefroman4700]

PINK CHICKENS!!!! my day is complete... And SEA PUPPERS too! That last park is popular in the winter I bet when there is 8 ft of snow everywhere.

[@iitzfizz]

Damn...What a beautiful country, stunning scenery.

[@CoasterMonkeyStudios]

Not Taylor with the French laugh at 4:00 lmao

[@felixbaumann5198]

As a swiss im very happy that you vistited my home country

[@attractionshubno1]

Great video as always Taylor and Sarah

[@topgunjoeicdbko]

I loved the night cap. That was rerefeshing

[@NerdyandNerdier]

Fantastic so far, going good.

[@kimiisland9802]

Some years ago, they had dolphins. I went there for my sisters 18th birthday because she was allowed to go swimming with the dolphins. It was unique and you couldnt do that anywhere else. It was their main attraction until some years ago. Also some information about Corba: I think it holds the record for the longest time to build a roller coaster. As far as I know they went with several different manufacturers and it took like 7 years or something like that. When it finally opened it already run that badly that they to close it again after short while since guests got seriously injured, some where admitted to the hospital because of brain bleeding caused by the ride. I think now its as comfortable as it can be, it has new tracking and a new train...so it was WAY worse before that.

[@DaanBruins]

14:25 crazy thing is that's actually a Gerstlauer. From the model kiddy racer that is usually found in Germany.

[@jappie.]

28:47 it's just like Toverland when that opened up

[@Itz_Arxhjtect5]

This would be an amazing park to visit

[@maxhagenauer24]

That's very interesting how it's just a playground of small attractions like that. Nobody operating it but you just go up and insert a coin and do it yourself. Very interesting and cool.

[@shroomyesc]

14:30 The best thing about that little kids only coaster is it's a real Gerstlauer!

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

0:55-9:58 Flugplatz Sitterdorf 10:27-23:51 Conny-Land 24:07-29:10 Ticiland

[@stijnjanssens571]

if you like that first stop i think you'd love wild- und freizeitpark Klotten in west Germany, it's a small amusement park/zoo combo with some adorable shows and very fun attractions. a bit of a larger version of this first stop with a very nice combination of smaller self-operated atractions and somewhat larger rides. It is sadly kinda located in the middle of nowhere but if you're ever in the neighborhood i'd recomend stopping by this little hidden gem! :D

[@ParcNews]

Nice vidéo ! Thanks for sharing

[@mijntjedemulder3365]

Ticiland looks like a cute park! Toverland starded at a similar size and target audience and they are one of the biggest parks in rhe Netherlands

[@drdewott9154]

Can only hope Ticiland grows bigger and bigger over time. I'd love to see them expand and add more rides, and maybe another larger coaster. Imagine something like a gravity group family woodie, Smaller Gerstlauer infinity, or a small Vekoma STC there.

[@StanRaufzeil]

oh so nice, i'm living really close to the Sitterdorf Airport Park

[@VibonoMirage]

It seams fitting that the playground has a wheel of death when Conny Land is owned by the Gasser family who are a circus family. They are specialized in training sealions

[@christianortiz-v1l]

Looks so underrated!!

[@victoriamaier5844]

Here we go 🎉

[@Schildeli_Shorts]

Yayy I waited for this Vlog!

[@nrdythugg4102]

As a kid in the 90s I enjoyed the Dolphins show at Coney Land

[@StanRaufzeil]

If you are in the general Area again, there are some other Fun Places nearby, one really close to the one in Sitterdorf, it's called Freizeitpark Niederbüren, unfortunate they don't have any coasters but still some fun stuff to do. Another trip that might be worth it is Kronberg, they have an Alpine coaster and some fun climbing experiences. Also a nice Mountain with a gondola and some great views.

[@gemmachaos]

That indoor park is pretty much exactly what Toverland looked like on their first few years of operation. Are there going to be big woodies and B&Ms in their future, too? Not with that attendance there aren't.

[@verybighomer]

Conny-Land used to have dolphin shows as their biggest attraction, that's probably the reason for the fountain. They stopped 2013 after dolphin shows in general came under scrutiny (rightfully so IMHO) and animals passed away.

[@TravisBeaves]

Watched this on the way to kennywood

[@VRGUY_583]

Great Vlog! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@christiwright3604]

I have Swiss heritage. I would love to go and visit where my family lives.

[@DJWezzyK]

Are you going to buy a Nautic Jet for your back garden? Sunkid sells them for around €80.000-€100.000 to parks. Also, Cobra is not just a PAX-coaster. Before it opened to the public Intamin had to do a Re-track because the PAX track did not meet the TÜV requirements for safety. And now Sunkid, yea the same company that makes the Nautic Jets and Butterflies you did in the other park, installed a new train on Cobra and new control system. So what exactly of PAX other then the layout is left of this coaster?

[@louisverges7092]

There used to be a really nice dolphin show at that park in a well made artifical lagoon. That's why there is a dolphin fountain in front of the park

[@djstoplichtofficial]

Ticiland reminds me of how Toverland started out. They have potential if they can keep their doors open!

[@wildcraftone]

If they have the land to expand into, yes.

[@MichaelDery-z7h]

Stunning scenery in Switzerland. Why does the "never in America" things look so fun?

[@ajitter89]

Awesome

[@andori_AB]

As a swiss, its pretty devastating that you went to ride the swiss coasters before myself.

[@DaanBruins]

6:02 the difference is that a disko is powered while a butterfly is gravity-powered.

[@jakedeadpool5877]

7:50 I WANT TO SEE THE FISH!!!!

[@Banner16]

I would love to live next to a playground like that.

[@rosenflugsougia762]

Ah cobra, that was my first coaster ever, and I hated it😂 There are dolphins at the gate because that used to be the main attraction at conyland, but because of animal welfare they are not there anymore. Glad you had fun even though every ride is kind of weird!

[@305CoastersOfficial]

14:37 its a Gerslauter Kiddie Racer!

[@deadinzoid]

Always thought that we have so much potential to actually build a GREAT Theme Park here in Switzerland. Infrastructure, Space, Public Transport, awesome Nature surrounding it etc. But sadly most fellow swiss People are not really into it😔 at least Europa Park is pretty close :)

[@robflel]

It’s mad that B&M and intanino are based either in or very close to Switzerland and they barely have any coasters.

[@Btm10000]

C'est nous !

[@russkovich]

You forgot to mention the drop tower that... doesn't drop. And instead only launches you into the air.

[@CRAZYLEGSYT]

that coaster looks like you're watching it in 2x speed lol holy molly

[@KarmynGalvan]

Good people

[@hennings7026]

random long ago memory: in elementary school, we were at a miniature land in northern germany, and I had to ride the thing at timestamp 8:30 with my teacher.....guess how fast i pressed all buttons in this

[@ChaoticleVideotainmentDE]

You have seen dolphins at entrance cause there used to be in the past. Greetings from nearby Constance in Germany.

[@FountainsChocolate]

Yess

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

How big was Conny-Lands indoor drop tower

[@danny.ray101]

Cedar-Fair/Six Flags pricing is standard in Switzerland food...

[@Happymali10]

I love how you two do the wildest and most terrifying coasters, but that little "waterslide"-thing at the airfield allegedly terrified you.

[@Brian-qn7fn]

The waterslide thing is way more terrifying than any rollercoaster. No supervision and a lot of potential for something to go horribly wrong.

[@confuseray1230]

To anyone interested the Tree is screaming at you that if humans will not stop cutting down all his buddys s*it will be going down xD

[@themeparkplanet3210]

cant forget pax did the worlds first single rail coasters

[@DaanBruins]

16:56 hate to comment four times but 'Mein held' says 'My hero'.

[@mcgarnagle6102]

Great episode. This was a good example of more freedom in Europe than America. Europeans are intelligent and have common sense which is why playground rides with a little risk factor are allowed. Americans would be suing the playground because the leaves broke their legs and caused devastating emotional harm.

[@raymondking2945]

Soooooooo.......water jumping looked like the best ride of the day. Unless something at TT Land was better😂

[@TobiasKathke]

I’ve to speak to Sam once I’m back to work 😅

[@CoasterStudios]

HAHA ask him where that reel is from Ticiland, he promised them one from the Zierer coaster😂

[@DaviesFuture]

never seen a socially awkward coaster before

[@maxhagenauer24]

That Pax Looping Coaster looks really uncomfortable but you guys didn't say anything about it being uncomfortable so maybe not.

[@slaynan]

Such a quirky park

[@David9PM]

Should’ve have gotten a B&M

[@Tibo.VanderAa]

That last thempark is just a plopsa indoor park but the cheap version 😂

[@26Winti]

There were dolphins many years ago, but they had to give them away because they didn't take good enough care for them

[@STILLRACING]

Ticiland my worst nightmare

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

The first place is like funny world in Germany

[@pitreport.official]

Why are playgrounds in Europe so much cooler? Because here you can't sue anybody over your own stupidity. 🤭

[@markfann8744]

Go ride thundervolt in vancouver canada

[@CoasterStudios]

one day!

[@markfann8744]

Please vlog it

[@markfann8744]

Great video

[@aoilpe]

In Switzerland you can get everywhere by public transport. 23:39 These Bus Lines Are PostBus linse -every community with more than 100 inhabitants has the right of public transport !

[@SwitchbackSylveon]

14:08 35fr is cheap by Swiss standards
