Karacho is a steel roller coaster of the Launched Coaster type in the Tripsdrill adventure park in Cleebronn, Baden-Württemberg . The track opened on July 10, 2013. It was made by the German manufacturer Gerstlauer Amusement Rides .
15,100 cubic meters of earth were removed for the construction of the 30 meter high and 700 meter long steel roller coaster. 130 steel columns were used to support the construction.
Karacho does not have a lift hill , as it is driven exclusively by linear motors (LSM). The cars are accelerated to 90 km / h in 1.6 seconds on the launch route and undergo four inversions . The four two-row carriages for eight people have no shoulder bars. The passengers are only held with lap bars. In order to increase driving comfort , the chassis of the previous cars were modified for Karacho with better suspension and larger wheels. The ride is suitable for people from 125 cm height.
On June 6, 2013, the last and highest piece of the top hat was installed and the railway celebrated the end of the track.

In the justification, the further development of the Eurofighter and the interesting layout of the railway were praised.
