chickenbowl Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I didn't realize how short the layout is. Wow, it reminds me of a slightly larger version of Oblivion. The immelman and airtime hill look sweet though.
pj.frankophone Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 It's longer than Oblivion but the drop on Oblivion is quite a bit higher and it's overall a bigger ride, with wider track gauge and trains. The track is huge when you stand up close to it at the point where it goes underground. Seeing these pictures of Krake reminds me of seeing Oblivion being constructed when I was a kid and not knowing what it was going to be... Germany already has some amazing roller coasters, looks like this is going to be another one
larrygator Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Why the american flag? Is the construction company American? I have no idea, but some American company must be involved somewhere along the way. Edited January 28, 2011 by larrygator
DBru Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 According to Screamscape, the coaster's track was manufactured at B&M's Ohio plant. Could that be it?
Pablo237 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Looks awesome!! But it looks simple. By the angle of the pictures, I can't tell if there is going to be a Immelmann loop or not. Looks like just a steep turn down to some air hills and then back to station. I don't think this diving machine will match up there with the others.
DJeXeL Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 ^^^Consign AG does all PLC programming and electrical wiring for B&Ms.........Just a thought though I'm probably wrong on that being the reason the American flag is there. The fabrication plant in Ohio could definitely be it as well.
Mario M. Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 The track was manufactured in Cincinnati in Ohio The information comes from a press release
Richard Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I can't tell if there is going to be a Immelmann loop or not. I figured, if RCDB lists it as an inversion, I see it as an inversion =D. Although I do agree it does have an incline to it.
matteocrepaldi Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I really like this coaster! Can't wait to go there and ride it!
vekoma_fan Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 LOOKS AWESOME!! new photo from their facebook page
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 This is one great looking coaster. I've always really wanted to go to this park (perhaps more than any other European park), and this only adds to my craving. It's amazing to me that this coaster costs more than both SheiKra and Griffon did....I'm not sure if it's just because of inflation or what. As great as it looks, its so much shorter than SheiKra or Griffon and contains like half the elements. It's hard to believe how much B&M rides cost these days. Cheers to the park for at least getting one, regardless of how much smaller it is.
DJeXeL Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 You get what you pay for...... Edit: Posted on their facebook today
Lamoure Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 ^I love this shot !! All german-non-coasterlovers are now scared .. wooot must be over 50m !! omg
Lamoure Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 ^I'm a coaster-lover, i know it !! It was just irony what the normal folks would say/think
Ledgy Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 More funny about that is, two germans talk in english and don´t understand each other (Ok, in actual fact I misunderstood.)
vekoma_fan Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 trains...?! Endlich sind die Wagen für die KRAKE im Heide-Park Resort eingetroffen und die wassergefüllten Dummies sind bereit für die erste Testfahrt. Jetzt müssen die Wagen nur noch auf die Schienen und dann kann es losgehen. Die Vorfreude auf die Saison wächst! pic and text from their facebook page...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 ^I think the theming will start appearing now that trackwork is completed. Just give them a few weeks.
Myself Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Only six-wide? Finally, some realism in the RCT2 dive machine trains! It doesn't LOOK like the train extends off the side of the pic... In reality, this does look like a good addition to Heide-Park's lineup. Just another reason for me to wish I could visit...
1pizza14 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 WOW! all those shots make the ride look amazing! I am heading up to Germany in the summer and hopefully I can get a chance to ride this!
DarkStitch626 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 The handles are on upside down... They did the same on Hydra at Dorney. The seat belt clips on Hydra are also hard plastic instead of foam pad topped.
