Hello people, it's time to whizz around Switzerland in stupid forms of transport again. THAT'S WHY YOU ALL SUBSCRIBED, REMEMBER?
This is the Zingelbahn, a bizarre little contraption that a subscriber, Markus, made me aware of. But when I asked to go see it, I discovered it was privately owned and operated and thus off-limits... but after a few emails here and there, I GOT ACCESS TO IT.
This is one of the strangest, coolest old things I've filmed for this channel - rickety, lightning fast and operated using a fascinating water-balancing mechanism, let's go see what may be the most rapid cable car on the planet...

Seriously though, loving the animations (and your unwavering commitment to legality)
Also, props for being the first person I've ever watched a Midroll for and thought "omg I actually WANT that"
This channel may just be the first one I pay for on YouTube
Never stop doing this. Never.
I tend to trust the cables, but those wood planks seem to be held there by willpower alone...
