Tripsdrill is a family-owned park situated 25 miles north of Stuttgart, in the middle of some wonderful German countryside (making it a little tricky to find!).

A very unique park, it dates back to 1929 when it was Germany's first "adventure park". It's steeped in tradition which is strongly reflected in the theming and the rides.

With the addition of Mammut, the park now has a nice balance of more conventional thrills and all sorts of original and distinctive attractions. It's a great place to wander around and discover its nooks and crannies for yourself, and if you'd like a park with a difference, this is it!
