August 23, 20169 yr comment_240423 I think they made the right choice. An inflatable upcharge attraction is clearly tonnes better than a hefty support flat ride, even if it was on its last legs.
October 15, 20168 yr comment_243009 https://www.heide-park.de/ghostbusters.html Heide Park are getting a Ghostbusters '5D dark ride' next year. Sounds potentially like the same ride system as Ninjago at the Legoland parks. Will be interesting to see how it's received.
October 15, 20168 yr comment_243024 Well that's a big "made of whyyyyyyyyy?" now isn't it? It's a shame since they could do well... ANYTHING with the theme (especially adventure) of a dark ride...
November 16, 20168 yr comment_244920 Announced today this will be getting a 5D interactive dark ride based around the Ghostbusters IP! Being built by Triotech. Enjoy this cringe-y launch video:
November 16, 20168 yr comment_244925 Could someone explain 5D to me? Is it actually different to 4D or is it just some marketing gimmick?
November 16, 20168 yr comment_244926 It's marketing guff, besides it just shows how far behind the curve Merlin are when 7D is so prevalent in Asia...
November 16, 20168 yr comment_244927 Isn't 5D basically just 4D but with a physically moving transit system? So still meaningless marketing dribble in one sense, but I guess you could argue 5D is a legitimate thing...

January 11, 20178 yr comment_246599 According to the park's Facebook, Colossos will be closed for the 2017 season because they work required is more expensive and takes longer than initially expected. Sad times.

Sad times. Bad times - I'm hoping to visit Heide later this season - and was the only ride I was looking forward too here! I'm going in OCT so maybe just maybe it'll be open for then!
January 11, 20178 yr comment_246604 Sad times, it looked an acceptable coaster amongst being the only one in a Merlin park currently. I'm curious as to why the ride has been SBNO so long and needs so much excessive work? Surely it must be structural if it's this bad. Guess thats Heide park off the list for now.

To be fair to them there are some serious structural issues going on with that ride and seems they realised it's more than what they initially expected. As well as the money aspect of it, it's kind of an unexpected issue that's popped up and clearly more than there maintenance budget. It wouldn't have been an issue they would have taken lightly. Germans love efficiency!.
April 9, 20178 yr comment_249058 Heide Park opened for the 2017 season yesterday, and Ghostbusters 5D was meant to open along with the park. On Thursday the park announced over Facebook it wasn't ready and would as soon as possible. So, Heide Park, who you gonna call?
August 9, 20178 yr comment_251647 The park is removing a vast amount of rides this year, and the current rumour is including, apparently, colossos. Which sucks. Silly people!
August 9, 20178 yr comment_251652 I'd love to state I'd never make my first visit to the park if they ever dream of removing Colossos, but who am I kidding I'd still want the other creds! Would be a shame to not be able to get the Intamin woody collection though, owing to the fact I have T Express and that's probably the rarest. The only slightly sliver lining if it closes would be my friend tells me it wasn't all that great anyway, though that may have been a sign of it's decline into closure...
August 9, 20178 yr comment_251654 It really wasn't that great, last time I rode it it bounced around a few parts as well... I think there's a lack of soul to the Intamin prefabs as well, over engineering removing some of the charm and flaws that wooden coasters work well on... I'm so non plussed at the idea of Colossos being spited...
