The park originated from a single mill attraction called the 'Altweibermühle,' based on a local legend of a mill that makes old women young again.
The wooden roller coaster 'Mammut' utilizes 1,000 cubic meters of wood, primarily pine, in its construction.

Tripsdrill remains privately owned and operated by the Fischer family, who founded the park four generations ago.
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill is Germany's oldest amusement park, established in 1929, located in the Cleebronn region of Baden-Württemberg. The park is family-operated and thematic, focusing on the cultural history of the Swabian region. It integrates a wildlife park, 'Wildparadies Tripsdrill,' which houses over 50 animal species including wolves, bears, and lynx. The park features over 100 attractions, ranging from high-speed rollercoasters like 'Karacho' and 'Mammut' to traditional carousels. Its design intentionally avoids generic global themes in favor of historical Swabian architecture and folklore. The park grounds encompass approximately 77 hectares of rolling hills and forest landscapes. The 'Altweibermühle' (Old Wives' Mill) serves as the park's foundational landmark and mascot. Visitors have access to an on-site museum, the 'Trillarium,' which showcases historical machinery and local heritage.

Plan your visit to coincide with the animal feeding sessions in the wildlife park, which are scheduled throughout the day.
Bring comfortable, waterproof walking shoes, as the park covers hilly terrain and incorporates water-based rides.
Do not attempt to complete both the amusement park and the wildlife park on the same day if you have children, as the total walking distance is extensive.
The park operates seasonally, typically opening in spring and closing in early November; the wildlife park remains open on limited days throughout the winter.
Respect the wildlife park's 'no feeding' rules for animals unless specified during official guided sessions.
