About Heide Park
Heide Park Resort is in Soltau, Lower Saxony, between Hamburg and Hannover. It is the largest park in northern Germany, and its reputation among enthusiasts rests on a collection of intense coasters, several of which held European records when they opened. The site is spread out and heavily wooded, which means a fair amount of walking between rides.
Which rides get the longest queues
Krake, the dive coaster with its vertical drop, and Flug der Dämonen, the wing coaster, draw the biggest crowds. Colossos - Kampf der Giganten, one of the tallest wooden coasters in Europe, queues heavily all day. Desert Race, with its hydraulic launch, and Big Loop round out the busiest rides. Scream, the drop tower, and Ghostbusters 5D queue steadily, and Bulls & Bandits is among the additions pulling the most traffic.
How to avoid the queues
- Head for Krake or Flug der Dämonen first: they fill up earliest and clear slowest.
- The park is large and wooded — check live waits before crossing it, because the walks are long.
- Colossos queues steadily; lunchtime is its best window.
- The last hour before closing is the best time to re-ride the big coasters.
- Check the calendar: the park closes over winter and hours vary a lot by date.
Frequently asked questions
How long are the waits at Heide Park?
On summer weekends and German school holidays Krake and Flug der Dämonen can pass 45-60 minutes. Midweek in the shoulder season waits drop considerably. The live waits on this page show the real figure.
Is Heide Park aimed at adults?
It has one of the most intense coaster collections in Germany, but also family and children's areas such as Hicks Himmelstürmer and George's Dino Adventure. It works for both audiences, weighted towards thrill rides.
When is Heide Park open?
It runs a season from roughly April to early November, with special Halloween events. It closes over winter, and hours vary by date.
Is it far from Hamburg?
It is in Soltau, roughly an hour by car from Hamburg and slightly less from Hannover, which makes it a workable day trip from either city.
