Karacho, Steel roller coaster in Erlebnispark Tripsdrill, Germany.

Karacho is a launched steel roller coaster at Erlebnispark Tripsdrill in Cleebronn, built by Gerstlauer and designed by Imaginvest. Its 700-metre track reaches a height of 30 metres and carries riders through four inversions, held in place by 130 steel supports. The trains have two rows of seats for eight people and use only lap bars, with modified chassis, better suspension and larger wheels for comfort.

The roller coaster opened in 2013 and marked a major expansion of Erlebnispark Tripsdrill in the Baden-Württemberg region. Its construction required moving substantial amounts of earth and building a steel structure that rises about 30 meters high.

The name Karacho is a German exclamation for sudden speed, fitting a ride that reaches 90 km/h in 1.6 seconds. In 2014 Erlebnispark Tripsdrill and manufacturer Gerstlauer received the FKF-Award 2013 for the coaster, with the jury praising the further development of the Eurofighter design and the layout.

Visitors must be at least 125 centimeters tall to ride, and the journey lasts about one minute. The best time to visit is often in the late afternoon or on quieter weekdays when lines tend to be shorter.

Unlike traditional roller coasters, this ride uses linear synchronous motors to accelerate passengers from zero to top speed in less than two seconds. This system allows for an immediate launch without the typical lift hill phase.
