August 17, 20169 yr comment_240144 I'm no expert and haven't been yet mysel. I think the nearest major airport is Hamburg and after that it's either a train, bus or taxi. It may be worth speaking to someone who's visited as I know a few here went here recently.
August 18, 20169 yr Author comment_240158 Fly to Hamburg, S-Bahn to Hamburg Hbf, train to Sierksdorf (which might involve a change of trains) before walking the mile to the park... Its that easy...
December 18, 20168 yr Author comment_245979 I think its nearly done... Maybe? Also the park are getting a Gerst Skyfly next year, perhaps a secret EU law has been passed that demands all parks have one?
April 12, 20178 yr comment_249241 So Hansa has started its season and launched its new website. https://www.hansapark.de I must I love how this park seems to be evolving - here are is a video of KÄRNAPULTEN testing:- And their new mini-coaster looks adorable

March 5, 20196 yr Author comment_263306 The new GIANT drop tower for this year (with rethemed area to Scotland for the Nessie and Roland creds) is starting to hit the skies: The ride itself will be located within one of Nessie's helixes, with the coaster itself getting a brand new station (does mean the removal of the monster head on the brake run tunnel though ? Finally, there's now a vlog from the park:
March 5, 20196 yr comment_263307 A theme park doing a vlog for construction of a new ride you say? Is this basically just European law now? Interested to see how dominant this is within the park. Bit worried it may look out of place (obvs same was said about Karnan, but that's easier to theme..)
March 26, 20196 yr comment_263774 It's been topped off, as seen in these photos from HAPA Forums... Anything which makes Karnan looks small is impressive.
May 31, 20196 yr comment_264830 Highlander Is a great addition, and thats coming from someone who doesn't really like drop towers! I rode it on 'super tilt' mode, this means it drops in the tilted position! The views are amazing and the drop is quite a rush, its probably not that intense/forceful, but it was forceful enough for me considering I was s**ting myself about the hight and the build up (they keep you up there for ages).

May 31, 20196 yr comment_264831 Some more photos from my trip of the newly themed Scottish area including the station for Nessie - a 39 year old Schwarzkopf coaster! So lovingly themed and accomplished, which will be added to and completed in the next couple of years.
May 31, 20196 yr comment_264832 Such a pretty park, I really do love this park, and can't help feeling in an alternative universe Thorpe could have ended up more like this (maritime exhibits, vintage attractions, gardens, architectural facades, family feel etc) They even have an onsite woodcarver and signwriter that you can look in on (last picture).
June 1, 20196 yr Author comment_264838 Hansa is fab, really do need to get back there soon... Glad that they're still updating the old areas, wonder what's next on their list?
June 3, 20196 yr comment_264863 Some more of the two fabulously themed Gerstlauer Fluch von Novgorod & Karnan VID_20190522_151316.mp4 VID_20190522_101238.mp4
September 2, 20196 yr comment_266194 Hansa Park are replacing their bell-themed pendulum ride with a family drop tower and kids log flume next year: https://m.facebook.com/hapaforum/posts/3014862091889408 Hansa Park concept art is usually pretty damn close to the real thing, so looks like a cute little area.
September 3, 20196 yr Author comment_266216 Do not ask for whom die Glocke tolls..... Not surprised it's going, the throughput on it wouldn't last with the way Hansa are expanding...
September 3, 20196 yr comment_266225 Not surprised they are ditching their bell. It didn’t have a large throughput and apparently didn’t perform particularly well. The new kids attractions look lovely though and am sure will make a fine addition to this charming park. 29 minutes ago, Glitch said: Hopefully Thorpe will buy the bell ride. Better chance in the getting that than a major coaster though. Who’s placing bets?
September 3, 20196 yr comment_266243 Thorpe buying rides with unsuitably low throughput does ring a bell in fairness. Sorry.
September 3, 20196 yr comment_266245 Thought I’d chime in with my own thoughts........ ok that was awful!! Quite happy to see the end of this ride in fairness, awful thoughput and a very naff ride in general.
September 12, 20196 yr comment_266487 Bell was a nice ride experience to be honest, a lot of fun, but 8 people (or is it 6) every 2 minuets just isn't sustainable for the park and its growth.
