Hello fellow theme park enthusiasts!
After our holiday in Austria we wanted to make a stopover in Tripsdrill. An amusement park in the town of Cleebronn in Germany that is best known for its great German theme style.
Before we start, I have 3 choices for you:
Choice 1 is the complete Vlog of the day for those who don't like reading.
Choice 2 is a compilation video accompanied by music, for those who don't like endless talking.
Option 3 can be read below with the individual onrides in between for viewing.
If you have an Efteling annual pass, you can enter this park once a year for free, so we of course gratefully took advantage of this.
We decided to immediately grab the two newest additions to the park, which are intertwined. So we started with the Vekoma Family Boomerang Volldampf, put on the harness, put the Action Cam on the harness and go! We thought. It turned out that we first had to go to the information desk to get written permission, which you will then have to hand in at each ride. Oh well, no problem, we'll just stand in line again, it wasn't very busy in the park that day. So fill out the form and return!
After the boomerang ride, which was actualy longer than we thought, it was time for the gem of the park: Hals-uber-Kopf, a Suspended Thrillcoaster from Vekoma Rides. We enjoyed the smoothness of this track and then wanted to continue our way to the next attraction. When we were at the photo sale, the seller noticed that Supernovae JR. had the Action-cam on his harness. In broken English the man tried to say something about this, while gesturing to the Action-cam. Supernovae JR. said it was turned off and I indicated that we had received written permission. This turned out not to be enough for this man and he turned the action camera downwards. We were quite surprised and quite annoyed (what gives anyone the right to touch someone's stuff without asking?). We asked if he was afraid that we would take a photo of our onride photo on the screen and he confirmed this. After explaining that the quality of our own camera is a lot better than that he offers, we continued our way laughing out loud.
In the meantime we started to get hungry: time to get something to eat. The search for something decent to eat turned out to be quite a challenge: we mainly came across catering outlets with popcorn, cotton candy and donuts. Since we didn't feel like having wasps around us, this quickly fell through. Maybe it was just us, but we couldn't find almost anything for a simple snack. Eventually we arrived at a stall selling pizza slices. Fine! We were finally able to eat something and sit for a while. Unfortunately, some wasp meeting was just next to us so we needed to re-locate. Far away from the wasps, we still enjoyed our pizza and then got back to doing what we came for: the attractions.
Time for the 3rd roller coaster and this time we went back a few bars... to the Rasender Tausendfüssler, or: the Caterpillar Track. Not very special, one in the 'as usual' category. What was very nice was the interaction with the operator who stirred up the visitors on the train to cheer as soon as the train came through the station for the 2nd round. So we could cross this off too, where should we go next?
It became Karacho: an Infinity Coaster from Gerstlauer. Supernovae and CoasterIris had already done this once before in 2015, but we could no longer remember whether it was 'smooth' or not. During the ride we discovered that we had experienced smoother tracks. The layout is nice, but it is not a nice relaxing coaster. The humor at the exit was wonderfully typical of Tripsdrill.
2 more coasters to go! Since Mammut's neighbor was Karacho, we decided to take this one as the next ride, we are close to it now, right?
This woodie from Cordes Holzbau goes up the lift hill at a good speed and is quite smooth for a wooden roller coaster.
The last roller coaster in front of us. G'sengte Sau is a Gerstlauer Bobsled Coaster. It's remains a fun lay-out, especially because it is part of the theming around the Jungbrunnen castle, the logg flume ride that has a very 'special' theme.
We immediately took this log-flume after G'sengte Sau and we discovered that we had an extra passenger with us. A large green grasshopper. Now I (CoasterIris) am not really afraid of insects, but since I was wearing shorts, I didn't feel very comfortable when we got to the darker part of the rides. I hoped he didn't jump into my pants. Luckily that didn't happen hahaha.
Now that we had covered all the main attractions, we could go for the smaller stuff.
We started with the Suppenschüsselfahrt, which was still quite similar to the one we did next: the Weinkübelfahrt. What you should definitely not miss when you are in this park is the soapbox race or the Seifenkisten-Rennen, a (in my opinion) unique attraction and if you have not done this then you have not been to Tripsdrill
.
The Gugelhup-Gaudi-Tour is a very nice waltzer, Supernovae and CoasterIris remembered, unfortunately it was closed due to a maintanence, so we decided to go to, the Schklaptour.
Time is ticking, also in Tripsdrill and so we came to the end of the day. We walked past some staged animatronics play and decided to take a look. We had no idea what it was about….
On to the hotel! Unfortunately we had to skip the Wildlife Park. Who knows next time![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
It remains a very nice park with a unique theme, which sets it apart from other German parks. Unfortunately it is too far away from us to hit and run it for a day, but who knows, see you in a few years?
