After my great US trip my first park in Germany is Heide-Park - of course to check out the new Krake.

 

But at first a ride on the magnificient Colossos.

 

Then on to Krake, the new B&M diver. Very smooth and extremely silent - if it wouldn't be for the splash and screaming girls you can sleep right next to the track without beeing wakened by the car running by.

 

Not just a lucky shot - they let you hang there for a few seconds. The drop is good but a Gerstelauer tower-drop is even better.

 

The splash - on a hot day the poeple can shower in the sidewalk behind the Immelmann. Overall the ride is nice - but as nice beeing the neighbor of boring Krake was mostly all-day a walk-on. Lines on Colossos were much longer.

 

Big Loop is still the smoothest Arrow/Vekoma looper I know.

 

Corkscrews nicely located over the sidewalk and lake.

 

Welcome to Huss-Land - well not completely anymore. As it became the Maya-Valley the Condor was replaced with a new Zierer Waveswinger.

 

Huss Breakdancer.

 

Huss Enterprise and Top-Spin - with Colossos looming behind.

 

This place once belonged to a Huss Rainbow - later on the Round-Up, formerly in the front section of the park a re-located here. This ride was already around when the park opened in 1978 and made by Klaus Engineering.

 

Huss Magic.

 

I love the Enterprise!

 

Colossos - airtime to the last bunnyhop. Still the best ride in the park, energizing youz every time anew

 

Desert Race launching - IMO another "nice" coaster. Launch is good - but no top-hat or inversion....

 

Big Monster - no german park is complete without a piece of Schwarzkopf engineering....

 

Well and before anyone asks: I skipped Limit - a Vekoma SLC - this time, my shoulders thanked me.
