Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, Family amusement park in Cleebronn, Germany
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill is a theme and wildlife park near Cleebronn in Baden-Württemberg, covering 77 hectares with around 100 attractions. Its entrance building has cream walls, a steep red-brown tiled roof and a rounded archway; the gold lettering "Erlebnispark Tripsdrill" sits on a wide gable. A tall steel coaster loop rises behind trees, and oval boats with red rims circle a round water basin.
The park opened in 1929 and began with a simple wooden slide as its first attraction. Over the decades the site grew steadily and now holds the title of Germany's oldest amusement park.
The park's theme is "Schwaben anno 1880", and many attractions depict everyday Swabian life of that era, such as bathing and laundry. The Vinarium wine museum, opened in 1976, holds one of Germany's largest collections of wooden spindle presses. Locals still call the park "Trulla".
The park opens daily from April through November and on weekends in March, with tree houses and shepherd wagons available on site for overnight stays. Most paths are paved, though some areas involve gentle slopes.
In July 2009, inline skater Dirk Auer rode the rails of the Mammut wooden coaster at up to 90 km/h on modified skates, completing the run in just over 60 seconds and setting a world record. The 860-metre Mammut, opened in 2008, was the first wooden coaster built entirely by German firms.
