Tripsdrill is known for its theme being based on local stories, history and folklore from the
Swabian region in Germany it is situated in. Volldampf is based on the Swabian folksong "
Auf Der Schwäb'sche Eisenbahne (Auf der schwäbsche Eisebahne)", being German for "On the Swabian Railroad". In the song from the late 19th century, a turbulent trip on the Swabian Railroad is being told. The train is themed in the style of a steam locomotive.
