We are going to Heide Park this wednesday. Any idea about how busy the park could be? Is it worth getting express buttler? From what I remember, if the que is not long enough, you can´t even use it? Just wondering if it´s worth getting it, since park might be a bit more busy during week days too, since it´s Halloween?

EP is going through harsh times for sure

When I get back home, I might go into details or answer some questions if there are any. It is very good coaster. I honestly expected a bit stronger ejector at the beggining (but it still is pretty great and strong, don´t get me wrong) and generally, the second half felt a bit less intensive than I expected.. I must say there is finaly a reason to visit the park. So far, I loved it. Love the first drop and dive loop. Also talked to an employee of Energylandia and they have currently 26 hectars (might be 36, but I think I remember 26) and they plan to expand it to 150 hectars. Expanding appearently already started next to the Anaconda. They are already digging in the field next to it and the construction site was very busy two days ago. Probably a new ride (wooden coaster maybe?), because I believe planned hotel is on the other side of the park from this site.

Thanks a lot, I think we will go with Krakov then, already found an accomodation. Can´t wait to try Hyperion <3

Im excited about Hyperion. Is it open actually? By the way, planning a trip there next week. Do you have any tips regarding accomodation or other sightseeings and interesting places?

I came across this photo in the link you posted... And holy crap!! The track on the lift hill though... I was there shortly before they closed it. Will try to look after some pictures to see if the lift hill was that bad back in 2016. I think it wasn't, but the ride itself was very rough.

Here you can find some more pics of whats happening on site. https://www.coasterfriends.de/forum/14381-2019-neuheit-wiedereroeffnung-colossos-komplettes-retracking-heide-park-4.html

Honestly, haven´t seen the result of Peppe land at Heide Park, so cannot judge. And I´m not the target group, so don´t care that much. I also wouldn´t be too harsh regarding ride removals. Most of the rides removed made sense. I don´t feel sorry for anything they removed (except the Slammer at Thorpe - I loved it, but I also understand why it is removed). The rides removed were usually sub-par rides and probably quite hard to maintain, so why keep them? Colossos is different story though, but in the end, I like they decided to make sacrifices to save it. I also like the WickerMan at Alton so far.

I don´t get your post actually?

Kudos to Merlin. One of the first who realized this and openly admitted. Overally, last months I really like what they do. I think they now go in the right direction

Well, what is better then? Saying this is lots of wood and statue is unfair. Even the statue itself is actually neat, but the big part of theming here are the effects too. All together, it works perfectly and I think this indeed is the best themed ride Merlin has.

Indeed, if that´s the case, they better to tear it down and build a new rollercoaster. I love Colossos, but it will probably be really better.

Can anyone post short summ of what is being said? Because YT doesn´t translate it for me.

Oh, so better not to plan much in advance.
