Park News - (5/29/12) A new 3D enabled POV video on Krake at Heide Park can be found here.
(3/28/12) RollerCoasterRevolution is back with some new pictures of the first drop themeing added to Krake at Heide Park, along with an off-ride video of how it looks with the ride in action.
(2/22/12) It looks like Heide Park is going to live up to the promise of giving Krake some really great themeing at the bottom of that first drop. Check out the construction pictures of the massive shipwreck and tentacles being installed over at the official Krake blog.
2013 - Nothing is known at this point in time...
2014 - New Coaster - Rumor - (8/29/12) The new coaster coming to Heide Park in 2014 is now expected to be a B&M Wing Coaster after an environmental impact study was briefly leaked online before being taken down again according to the comments at Heide-Park Forum. Meanwhile CoastersAndMore says it will be roughly the same basic size and scale as Gardaland’s Raptor which makes sense because Merlin was involved with both it and Swarm.
(5/10/12) Coaster Community has posted an interesting piece of artwork that is supposed to represent the 2014 coaster project on the way for Heide Park. The artwork clearly shows off a B&M Flyer style train themed like a scary looking evil flying gargoyle or demonic creature, or perhaps a giant vampire bat. There is also a great scary looking castle building in the background, with the coaster seen flying out of a dark sewer tunnel and over the edge of a waterfall. I can’t wait to see more.
(3/28/12) According to CoasterFriends.de Heide Park has put up a teaser sign for a new 2014 project that promises to be big and fast. Sounds like the next coaster is in the works already. The last coaster in the park was Krake, which was also their first B&M. Perhaps they’ll select something else from B&M for 2014 like a Flyer or Wing Coaster.
