June 9, 201510 yr comment_210926 Does anyone know if there's a bus from Soltau to the park? I think the Heide Park website said something about it but the translate option seems to have disappeared so I can't read anything!
June 9, 201510 yr comment_210928 There's a bus from the train station to the park, it's very irregular... Taxis are an option...
June 30, 201510 yr comment_212251 Can anyone who's been possibly tell me a good way of getting to the park from Soltau via public transport?
July 13, 201510 yr comment_212960 Ok so did Heide Park last week, on my phone so I'll keep it short. Entrance area is really nice, as are the Pirate and Transylvania areas. The rest of the park looks like a slightly nicer Thorpe Park, full of Merlin touches. Desert Race is really fun, miles better than Rita in terms of smoothness and actual airtime. Also the guy on the unload station was cute. Flug was decent but SO bumpy and all pace was lost after the Immelmann loop. Good music though. Limit and Big Loop were dire but I wasn't expecting much. Krake was really fun. Drop is great and the layout flows well. The music is also good! Colossos had an AMAZING first drop and the airtime is great but the areas with positive Gs are quite rough which hurt your back if your weren't prepared. Water rides were meh, flat rides were also meh and the Top Spin was just so uncomfortable it was funny. Overall the park is decent but nothing to write home about in my opinion! Worth visiting once though for Krake and Colossos
July 13, 201510 yr comment_212963 I strangley found Colossos very bareable and the music is great! I overall really like the park and I agree Flug isn't the best I still find Swarm better! Krake is a good ride. I quite liked Big Loop maybe because it had Corkscrews old trains from Alton Towers which made it special for me! The top spin is actually run pretty well and I like the Huss section of the park! Desert Race is great also, I am not a fan of SLC's and this one is no exception, painful throughout! Scream is probably the best drop tower I've ever been on, it really is an incredible ride with an incredible soundtrack! Overall though I really adore the park!
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218100 Looks like a How to Train Your Dragon area for 2016 then! Can't quite figure out what it is. https://www.heide-park.de/drachenzaehmen-die-insel.html
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218102 Isn't there an area currently being created replacing one of the park's small water rides? I'm pretty sure there's rumours of a dark ride rpelacing that area. It's a bit small though. HTTYD is a good IP though. Shame it is an IP though.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218104 Yep that dull looking boat ride next to the mine train has gone! I remember looking at it in July and thinking it wasn't worth the ride, wish I did now just to say I'd done it... Can't imagine the theming will live up to Taron's. Sorry Heide.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218108 Translated, it says there are four rides for children so I assume there's no dark ride
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218109 Comparisons to Taron are silly. Taron is an extremely major project and Phantasialand's first thrill ride in years. This is, at best, a medium investment for Heide.
September 20, 20159 yr comment_218110 Oh I know, but both have a medieval theme, so I was comparing that.
September 23, 20159 yr comment_218571 At least Merlin are utilising a current brand with their Dreamworks deal! Taking it the third film isn't coming out until 2018 now and how well received both films are it is definitely a living IP. Shame it is only a smaller investment and primarily a kids area. I'd love a park to build the Isle of Berk with a rollercoaster swooping around, a dark ride about the battle between Toothless and the Alpha maybe. Feel like if it was done properly that would be sublime but only Universal or Disney would probably have the budget to go all out on that level. I can dream.
April 18, 20169 yr comment_232720 Does this park have lockers big enough for suitcases? Thanks pals. In Phantasialand topic: We need an opening date folks. Someone's planning a trip to Germany I see...
May 10, 20169 yr comment_234424 Hey asking another question for my mate. Where do all the cool kids buy their Heide tickets from? Is it like other Merlin parks where there are BOGOF deals?
May 11, 20169 yr comment_234436 Probably best bet is for online deals, unless you fancy trawling through German supermarkets, I'm not sure if BOGOFs exist... Of course if you're planning a trip to Garda within a year you could get the MAP as well...
June 5, 20169 yr comment_236003 Did a TR for this park - TL;DR - Colossos is a stand-out attraction, the park is good but maaaaybe a little too Merlin-y
July 31, 20169 yr comment_239278 Colossos unfortunately appears to be closed until further notice due to emergency repairs apparently. source Loopings Lets hope they get this fixed and soon. Until then, Colossos is only a stand out attraction as in standing out of the lineup.
