Erlebnispark Tripsdrill
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill is a wildlife and theme park near Cleebronn in Southern Germany. Covering 77 hectares in total, the park offers 29 attractions, including museums, animal petting and feeding, roller coasters, playgrounds, and a theatre. Opened in 1929, it is Germany's oldest amusement park and is still owned and managed by the same family.
Eugen Fischer built a windmill on the site in 1929 and opened a restaurant there. He called the mill "Old Women's Mill" and included a slide for playing on. After Eugen's death in the Second World War, his son Kurt carried on the restaurant, expanding the catering to a park. The windmill was destroyed by fire in 1946 following a lightning strike, and rebuilt by Kurt in 1950.
Over the following years attractions were added to the park. In 1957, a zoo opened with approximately 300 animals. A mechanical attraction arrived in 1960 in the form of pedal-driven locomotives. The zoo was transformed into a wildlife park and petting zoo in 1972, which was expanded in 1976 to include over 1,000 animals. The wine museum ‘Vinarium’ contains the largest collection of wood-spindle presses in Germany..
In 2013, the park opened a new launched coaster called Karacho.
For the 2020 season, the park added two new roller coasters by Vekoma. These coasters were Volldampf and Hals-über-Kopf.
Approximately 700,000 people visit Tripsdrill each year and the park employs about 150 people. The theme park area opens from late March to early November, but the wildlife park is open all year. The parking lot directly in front of the main entrance is free of charge.
Originality, attention to detail, and a preference for local building firms and materials is an important emphasis at Tripsdrill. The park was one of the first to install the now-ubiquitous "teacups" ride and its Bathtub Flume Ride is the tallest in Europe.
Its largest installation to date, Mammut, built in 2008, is an entirely wooden roller coaster, the first of its kind in Southern Germany, and themed as a sawmill. Nearly 860 metres (2,820 ft) long and costing approximately 6 million euros.

Altweibermühle 29/06/2023 10h23
A rejuvenation attraction for all old ladies! The Altweibermühle, or old wives' mill, is Tripsdrill's oldest attraction and actually not much more than a fun, fast and beautifully themed slide. Yet this attraction is not to be missed, thanks to the beautiful story that Tripsdrill gave when building this attraction: a trip down the slide would grind away all signs of aging until you look fresh and young again.
The original old wives' mill opened in 1929, but was struck by lightning in 1949. A year later the replacement opened.

Hals-über-Kopf 29/06/2023 10h27
First thing we did in Tripsdrill was this suspended rollercoaster Hals-über-Kopf.
Hals-über-Kopf
Hals-über-Kopf is a hanging roller coaster in the German amusement park Erlebnispark Tripsdrill. The roller coaster was manufactured and developed by manufacturer Vekoma and is a Suspended Thrill Coaster (STC). The attraction is themed after the fairy tale of The Seven Swabians.
In 2019, the arrival of the Hals-über-Kopf roller coaster was announced at the same time as the new Volldampf roller coaster. These two roller coasters would both be built by the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma in Tripsdrill. Hals-über-Kopf is the first track of the Suspended Thrill Coaster roller coaster type made by Vekoma. The attraction's station building was only completed a year later.
The roller coaster reaches a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour and the ride is 730 meters long in total. After the first drop follows the first of the four inversions, the Zero-G Roll, and this is again followed by an Immelmann and a few airtime hills. After a helix and a bunny hop, the last two inversions follow, a canyon dive and a corkscrew.
FACTS & FIGURES
Manufacturer: Vekoma
Opened: 2020
Top speed: 80 km/h
Height: 30 meters
Length: 780 meters
Capacity: 800 riders/hour
Trains: 2 with in total 10 cars
