^ sorry dude i'll be there early may (for filming etc) and miles.. i use my car whenever possible.. it's only been 2 openings so far this year...

not everybody has access to facebook.. i do know some companies that block acces to facebook for their employees (since it's not business related) youtube might still be accessible.. it's never bad to have 2 options to check.. and embedded (youtube) makes live easier for some (saves another click) nice video, looking forward to the day i will be in Stockholm to get this credit p.s. let's continue talking about the ride and stop debating which/what/when video link etc..

On the sixflags (magic mountain) site under tickets.. http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/tickets/flashpass.aspx

Here's my current list: Netherlands Belgium Germany France Italy Switzerland Austria Spain (including Majorca and Tenerife) Portugal Czech Republic Greece Tunesia Denmark Norway Sweden Finland USA Canada England Wales Scotland Australia Mexico Venezuela (Isla Margarita) Monaco Luxembourg

Quick update: The latest info i found online regarding the theming (as shown in the image below) Theming will be finalized during the winter of 2011/2012. Happy to see the ride is open and people are riding it (instead of them waiting to finalize this theming) Should be interesting to see it next year..

found 2 more images for Heide Park

no worries there little bit of floater.. but nothing massive (during the rides i had) Happy to see you (all) like the pictures/update

same

^ they also have some other things. I was pretty sure i had a better picture of these (but failed) they have a Krake mouth and track combo which actually looks interesting. (left of the bears)

nope.. but i do have pictures of olks in swim wear on the splash battle.. crazy germans.. (owh yeah and i noticed a boob flash on colossus.. just did not have the camera ready sigh)

sorry, did not get to that area of the ride for pictures..

Thanks, Managed to do 4 rides before it opened to the public. Loved all of them

^ ain't advertisement about triggering the imagination? i'm pretty sure that if they would have been able to get the mouth in by this time.. they would have. Most likely something came up so they opened it like this.. Time will tell if more theming will be added in the future. What do you prefer?? looking at a ride waiting for more theming (and not operating) or being able to ride (and enjoy) it?? I prefer riding

enjoy Link

Today was opening day for Krake at Heide Park in Germany. Some info before getting to the pictures: First dive coaster in Germany. Hardware and theming investment of 12 million euro Advertisement costs not included... Track length 476 meters, height 42,5 meters, drop 41 meters. 1 splash, 1 immelmann and 1 camelback. 3 trains, 3 rows of 6 each which gives 18 riders per train 50.000 hours and 700 tonnes of steel. Enough technical things.. time to talk about the ride.. It might look small (and yes it's not that long) but darn it. This is a fun ride. That first drop is awesome and it felt like you have a better view (on all rows on this first drop) then when compared to the bigger US version. Maybe it was just my impression but it felt as if the train was further down the drop compared to the bigger ones. Or maybe it was just due to the smaller train size that gave that impression. Anyway nice addition to the park which should provide plenty of thrills for the young folks and adrenaline junkies . I thinks that's it for this time.. Pictures (sorry for the amount.. just could not make a smaller selection) yeah, looks like i made it some reading material theming ok, time to go outside sorry folks, press get's to ride it first they are already lining up (still 1,5 hours to go before opening time) the sign (hi Larry) between 140 and 195 cm's to ride lot's of chit chat.. drinking.. and nobody is looking at the ride?? ehmm there was a lot of press.. All for these folks.. look left, look right, airtime smile at the pirate Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht and Hannes Mairinger getting ready for their ride and that's the lifthill ok, time to move on.. ribbon time let's ride quick walk to the observation platform.. to get some pictures of that first ride.. chill time here they come going down.. yup fun ride control room in the station empty train merchandise it's 12:30 and look at that line... yup, looks sweet and the "end" of the line time to get some more pictures of the theming same drops without people the ride that looks pretty good first drop structure exit and shop building looking at the drop teeth (and fog) hmmm shipwreck camelback close up first drop view change to the skyline ehm... back to the other side looks like people are still waiting.. outside of the station building tower and lifthill and back to that first drop area there is an onride photo point these look pretty impressive sorry, time for another walk... yeah... still no movement.. did the "Krake" win?? yikes minor damage, just need some nails and a hammer darn sun.. top of the drop (close up) yes happy riders at the top of the drop.. waiting those darn 3 seconds (or however long it feels) did i mention the onride photo? and yes.. the backrow might get a little wet (don't remember that from any of the other rides) camelback.. it just looks pretty pretty water (splash) and train that is a pretty big splash.. a different kind of photo op observation deck looking at the Immelman yeah time to use the zoom for some people reactions.. it does funny things to the face next train on the way back different angle top of the camelback yup, looks like fun tree (every update needs one) up is down or?? more fog pretty pretty final bit before the final brake run escaping the Krake splash fun.. or.. woops, bit more then expected??? soaked lots of people watching scream if you like it scoop action that's it folks, hope you enjoyed it
