The Tripsdrill Amusement Park near Stuttgart offers oodles of fun with more than one hundred attractions - as well as a peek at Swabian culture. The Swabians live in southwestern Germany and are famous and notorious for their dialect, thrift, diligence, and their special sense of humor.
We sent our Aussie reporter, Brant Dennis, on an expedition to study and experience one of the world's most off-the-wall amusement parks. What did he learn about Swabian culture and history there?
