Holzachterbahn "Mammut"
Facts and practical information
Mammut is a wooden roller coaster at the Tripsdrill Adventure Park in Treffentrill. It was built from October 2007 to April 2008 and officially opened on April 28, 2008. To build the 30-meter high and 860-meter long wooden roller coaster Mammut, 7,000 cubic meters of earth were removed, 70,000 wooden parts, two million nails and one million screws were used. The Mammut roller coaster was designed by the Munich-based engineering firm Stengel, while the construction work was carried out by the company Holzbau Cordes, which also developed a special type of track for this ride. The trains and the technology were supplied by Gerstlauer Amusement Rides. Due to this combination of manufacturers and the wood used from German forests, the park advertises that Mammut is the first completely German wooden roller coaster.
The ride is part of the new Sawmill themed area, which is to be built by 2010 and for which six million euros have been budgeted, including the roller coaster. In keeping with the theme, the name refers to the sequoia trees and the elephant genus Mammuts, as both, like the wooden roller coaster, impress with their imposing size. The trains as well as the station are also in the sawmill theme.
