Matt 236 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 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.

Benin Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 That would fit in well in the Barbican. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 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..)

JoshC. Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 It's been topped off, as seen in these photos from HAPA Forums... Anything which makes Karnan looks small is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 That's hilariously tall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkey Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 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).

mrmonkey Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkey Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 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).

Benin Posted June 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 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.

Benin Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hopefully Thorpe will buy the bell ride. Martin Doyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thorpe buying rides with unsuitably low throughput does ring a bell in fairness. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Doyle Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmonkey Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
