Mammut, Wooden roller coaster in Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, Cleebronn, Germany
Mammut is a wooden roller coaster in Erlebnispark Tripsdrill that spans 860 meters of track with peak heights of around 30 meters. The ride operates two trains simultaneously, each with four cars accommodating up to 24 passengers per cycle.
Construction ran from October 2007 to April 2008, and Mammut opened on 28 April 2008. The 30-metre-high, 860-metre-long ride was designed by the Munich engineering office Stengel, built by Holzbau Cordes with a track type developed for it, and fitted with trains and technology by Gerstlauer. With wood from German forests, the park calls it the first completely German wooden coaster.
The name Mammut refers both to the giant sequoias (Mammutbäume) and to the mammoth genus, chosen because both match the ride's size. The station and the trains follow the sawmill theme of the Sägewerk area, opened with the coaster in 2008.
Mammut stands in the Sägewerk themed area of Erlebnispark Tripsdrill in Cleebronn, Baden-Württemberg. The queue leads past the wooden station built in the sawmill style, and the ride runs two trains of four cars, six passengers per car. The circuit begins with a scenic section, then a short drop before the lift hill; the train reaches 90 km/h and passes through a tunnel.
The name refers to both the giant sequoia (Mammutbaum) and the mammoth genus, chosen because of their size. The sawmill theme extends to the station and trains, and a circular saw blade is mounted on the wooden Mammut sign at the ride's entrance.
