Hundeprutterutchebane
History and theme
Hundeprutterutchebane was the first coaster to open at BonBon-Land in 1993. BonBon-Land was opened in 1992 by the confectionery company BonBon that makes sweets based on toilet humour. Hundeprutter ("Dog Farts") was one of the most popular flavors and consequently became the theme for the first coaster at the park. Built by Zierer, the coaster layout is a relatively simple family coaster, and it is the park's smallest roller coaster. The coaster trains are designed in the shape of a dachshund named "Henry", Riders go past a statue of Henry defecating, through a kennel, and past bones and piles of feces. There are also speakers throughout the ride which make farting sounds, as well as barks.
