Erlebnispark Tripsdrill 2020 - Vekoma Family Boomerang & STC

(excuse the horrible translation)

Tripsdrill is planning a new roller coaster
Cleebronn The theme park Tripsdrill near Cleebronn is to receive another big attraction. A planning concept envisages a roller coaster with a height of 22 meters. The railway could go into operation at the beginning of the season in 2019.

The Fischer family thinks of new attractions for the amusement park Tripsdrill. Since 2013, the catapult roller coaster "Karacho" has provided thrills. Previously, since 2008, the wooden roller coaster "Mammut" has attracted guests - since then no new crowd pullers have been inaugurated. That should change in the next few years.

Development plan procedure has started

Already for the past Parkerweiterung a development plan was necessary. This was launched in 2009. Unanimously, the Town Council Cleebronn has now approved the procedure for an installation decision for the development plan "Adventure Park Tripsdrill - 2nd construction section".

In order to remain competitive, a theme park should come up with a new attraction every three to four years, said Professor Waltraut Pustal from Pfullingen, who is setting the plan for the amusement park. According to her concept, the new large attraction - a triplet-style roller coaster with a height of 22 meters - could already be opened at the beginning of the season in 2019. Another ride with a height of up to 31 meters is planned for 2020. It would be as high as the "Mammutbahn".

Looks like Tripsdrill is planning to get a new coaster in 2019, along with a unknown 100ft tall ride in 2020.

For 2020, they just announce a new 100 ft ride, not a new coaster. It could be a coaster but it could also be something else.

When they same triplet style (translated) does the non translated version imply that is a triple launch? Or something else?

[herman116]

Triplet style is translated from "Tripsdrill-Stil" so it actually should be Tripsdrill style. But at that part they're still talking about the first ride (which is a coaster) the second ride is mentioned as a "Fahrgesch??ft". My German is not really great but I think that word is normally used for non-coaster rides.

Ahhh, classic google translate I guess Hopefully its more like Karacho and less like Mammut.

RMC Mammut lol.

Bumping this thread since it's seems like this project is finally getting under way. Unfortunately, it does seem like this is now a 2020 project. Anyways, groundwork has begun and footers are already onsite:























According to rumours, this is due to be a Vekoma roller coaster, but what type currently remains unknown.

Footers have begun to be installed:





...and Vekoma themselves have begun teasing the project on their Instagram account:



But here's where thing get interesting. According to this image on Vekoma's website, and some closer examination, it looks like this could actually be the first Vekoma STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster).





...and for those who don't know what they are, this is a concept art for one of them (It's basically an updated SLC and similar to what Tayto Park is supposedly getting):

If the STC speculation is true, that's a perfect fit for this park. They needed a high capacity thrill coaster, and they hopefully got it.

The park have begun teasing the project on their social media:

The park have officially announced their new 2020 attractions, which include not one by two roller coasters, both from Vekoma. One is a Family Boomerang and the other is the first ever STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster).



Note: The following quote has been translated from German:

Our site manager Hugo M??ller lets the cat out of the bag. 2020 in Tripsdrill will open two new rollercoasters in a double pack and deliver a breathtaking competition with each other! The first element of the double system, in which the route of both railways crosses several times, is a Family Rollercoaster "Family Boomerang???. This one is not only forward, but also downhill in reverse! Even stronger adrenaline rushes are guaranteed by a suspended roller coaster over 30 meters high, a so-called "suspended thrill coaster" (STC) with under-the-rail seats and rollovers. Both coasters come from the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma. Hugo M??ller is already very excited. Are you also?

Track for one of the coasters, which probably looks like the Vekoma Family Boomerang, has now arrived:
