Norwegian coasterfan Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Great look inside the Port Royal. I was just in the park last week and got to see it from the outside. Certainly looks nice on the inside, too. Does anyone else think Colossus has gotten a bit rough in the valleys? Not like "shake you side to side" rough, but more like "running over speed bumps" rough. I was actually kind of disappointed after our rides. It use to be so smooth and fast, now it is starting to get almost painful Also, they were only running one train all day long, which made it the longest wait in the park. Krake on the other hand; though short, was a ton of fun! There is awesome hang time down the drop, coming out of the inversion, (especially on one side of the train), and great sustained floatiness on the camel back. We agreed that it feels like it is missing one more element to make it "complete", like a heartline or something before the break-run. But, all in all, it's a lot of fun and they were constantly running 3 trains, so the line moved really quickly. Does anyone know if the terrible SLC Limit used to actually have a second train? They have completely closed off the transfer track garage, and the cue line now goes under where the train should roll out, making it impossible to use. See what I mean in these pics? [attachment=1]IMAG1316.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]IMAG1313.jpg[/attachment] When i was there in July for 2 days they ran one train the first day and Two trains the next day. The wood thingy are doors i think , and there are just enough space to run the trains over the que.
simon8899 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 The wooden panels are doors and the queue is temproarily closed with staffmembers if they transfer a train.
Gerstlauer1 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 This picture where posted to Heide Park's official facebook page today. I think it pretty much says that we'll get the promised 'drop into the mouth' next year. - Which is a confirmed thing, as they told us at the fanday. Source: http://www.facebook.com/HeideParkResort
krazekiddd Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Awesome news about the Fastpass system! Don't know how I missed that one. I'm hoping they put the drop into the mouth for next year. Would be awesome to ride it how its supposed to be.
Hhappy Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 just wondering, is anybody doing the halloween event at Heide-Park?
Mario M. Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 The attraction (Krake lives!) will be an all year open "ultimative" krake horror maze everybody hopes, that they buildt the mouth of krake too...
StealthFan Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 ^With that I am now wondering if Merlin is going to embrace the concept of an all year round scare maze. With Saw Alive and now this it looks possible.
Gerstlauer1 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Guys guys guys, the mouth is as said confirmed! - And I can confirm that! No seriously they confirmed it on the enthusiast day.
Moose Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 ^That's great news! The year round maze is also awesome.
Meteornotes Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Yay for the mouth! Looking forward to visiting this park again next year... dt
gisco Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I think diving into the mouth will be cool, at least watching it will!
TPDave Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Are they going to use fog or misters in the mouth like on Oblivion? Dave
Gerstlauer1 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 ^ That is currently unknown, but there is already some mist placed around the mouth so why not.
Gerstlauer1 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Hello! For those of you who are interested i've made a video of Krake showing of both the theming, queue and the entire ride both offride and onride! Enjoy
gisco Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 To bad you wern't in the front seat on the POV.
cfc Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the look at Krake. Although the ride itself is brief, the theming looks well done (right down to the music as you enter the queue). Edited November 13, 2011 by cfc

So the new for 2012 'Krake Horror Maze' has started to take shape! Source: http://themepark.nl/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/1766101/Re_Heide_Park_2012_Krake_Horro.html#Post1766101
sammmmmy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 FINALLY! I wonder what the splashdown will be like in that tunnel!
Hhappy Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Better view of the new bit installed on the drop.. source: Facebook
Hilltopper39 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Glad to see this thing is finally getting the original themeing added, looks like a great coasters. The year round haunt sounds cool, I've always wondered why more parks don't have year round haunts with live actors because it always seemed like a great idea to me. Maybe this one will have a lot of success and maybe the success of the ones a Thorpe Park and Morey's Pier will give other parks in the world the same idea.
Viggen Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 This gonna give the coaster another dimension! Looks great to dive into the mouth of evil Krake and never return... That's how I would like it but too bad you're almost back in the station after this .
Hhappy Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) found some new images on the parks facebook page More info/updates can also be found here Edited February 15, 2012 by Hhappy
StealthFan Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 The ship is looking great. I wonder if they will put any effects in it such as mist or strobes. I would be surprised if they didn't at least put a mist machine in it.
Gigalyte Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Yes the Buccaneer looks great but I thought it was suppose to be an octopuses mouth the ride was diving through when did it change to a ship?
