Force One, Steel roller coaster at Schwaben Park in Kaisersbach, Germany
Force One is a steel roller coaster at Schwaben Park that spans roughly 530 meters of track with heights reaching 22 meters and speeds of about 65 kilometers per hour. The ride uses a chain lift system and includes numerous curves and drops throughout its course.
Force One opened at Schwaben Park on 18 May 2010. It was designed by the Munich engineering firm Stengel and built by Zierer as the second installation of the Elevated Seating Coaster model, after Crossbow in New Jersey. The roughly two-million-euro project received a 170,000-euro subsidy from Baden-Württemberg. In 2011 the ride and its operators received the FKF-Award 2010.
This ride reflects how German parks balance excitement with family accessibility, offering thrills without inversions so people of different ages can enjoy it together.
The ride operates seasonally from spring through fall and has specific height requirements for riders that should be checked beforehand. On busy days there can be wait times, so visiting early in the day or during quieter periods makes sense.
During the roughly 38-second ride, passengers experience forces of about 3.7 g, creating intense sensations without flipping riders upside down. This combination of power and stability makes the experience particularly appealing to many visitors.
