thrillerman1 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's nice to see these photos from a park rarely reviewed here. Thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 ^no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmbgo12 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's great to see some more pictures from this bizarre little park! Cobra looks great, as always, its a little depressing to know there won't be any more coasters like it for a while though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 ^ya, the problem is also the space, because north of the Park is a little village, west is a Golf court, south a main street. On the east side is some space, but I don't know if this is farm country. Here I have some photos of Cobra from my visit in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Here is my POV of Mammut Tree, the awesome cable car which has a freefall element inside the tree! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 ^That looks like a weird ride. What kind of capacity does it have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How does a drop track work on a cable car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthFan Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is the weirdest cable car I have ever seen but it has fire so it is also the most awesome one I have ever seen! How does a drop track work on a cable car? My guess would be the car detaches from the cable when it enters the tree, much like it does when it returns to the station then gets held in positions on the device that does the drop. After that it would then push the car back onto the cable to continue the journey. That is 100% a guess though so there is every chance I'm totally wrong and sound stupider than normal.

cfc Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is the funkiest shuttle coaster I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 That's the coolest sky ride I've ever seen! We need one of those in the States! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 That is the funkiest shuttle coaster I've ever seen. And the funkiest cable-car ride I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I remember looking into this park back in 2010 (?) when there was the possibility of ConnyLand being including on the mini-Europe Trip. It's not really a big place but is quite unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 It is unique and makes a lot of fun! The drop goes so: the Tree is also a middle support for the cable and the wheels where the cable goes over can drop about 2,5ft down. I think it is a hydraulic mechanism. So the whole cable drops 2.5ft down. It is also able to hop up and down quickly and it can tilt sideways. The capacity is 16 people per gondola/ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Onride of the Space Drop (kiddie freefall), which doesn't even has a real freefall! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That is the funkiest shuttle coaster I've ever seen. And the funkiest cable-car ride I've ever seen! I thought that was a weird looking shuttle coaster until I saw the video for the cable car ride. Now that takes the cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 ^ ya, both are crazy but both make a ot of fun!!! Especially the 5-10 seconds of hangtime on the scorpion tail on Cobra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattnz Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for sharing. I've always been intrigued by Connyland and their weird shuttle coaster (and why Switzerland, home of B&M and Intamin, don't really have much in the way of coasters!).

K1ngdaKa88 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 ^no problem But is there someone who would like to meet me there? The park gave me time from 11:30-12:00 to do the POV and I'm also doing a rider cam. My freind would also come, if there wasn't his mum! She says no because he has to learn for a test even if we had time to learn in the train and during our lunch. But she still says no! Please, I don't want to go there alone.

Paradox Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 So did Intamin redo all of the track except the spike? How does it ride right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
