Park News - (3/27/10) Lots of odd changes at the park this season. I’m told that Heide-Park has removed their second Swing Ship attraction, which will eventually make it’s way over to Legoland Windsor. The Heide-Dorf area has also been closed along with the animatronic bird show and tea-cup ride. The park has also closed a small pathway that contained two small rides: Hully Gully and a kiddie train ride) along with sending their antique carousel to Freizeitpark Plohn.
    Meanwhile the retired their old Vekoma trains from Big Loop and actually bought and refurbished the former Corkscrew trains from Alton Towers as replacements. Heide-Park is also removing the last of their animal shows and will move the Pirate stunt show into the former Sea Lion show area.

2010 - Bucht der Totenkopfpiraten and More - Rumor - (5/12/10) Heide Park opened their new Pirate themed Splash Battle attraction and you can see some pictures here.  I’m not enturely sure, but the name of the attraction may have been changed to something resembling “Topilaula Schlacht”, but I think somethings been lost in translation somehow.
    (11/25/09) Heide Park is preparing to build a new pirate themed area called "Bucht der Totenkopfpiraten" (Bay of the Skull Pirates). This area will feature a new Splash Battle ride from Mack.
    (11/4/09) Screamscape sources tell us that the historic carousel at Heide-Park will be removed and sent to Freizeitpark Plohn this winter. Some kind of new “interactive water ride” is also expected to be on the way, though I’m not sure if this is a Splash Battle or something more. Meanwhile the Big Loop coaster is still expected to get either new or refurbished Vekoma trains this season that will feature the same new style restraint as used on the Carolina Cobra at Carowinds in 2009.
    (7/1/09) According to this site, Heide Park will update their Big Loop coaster (Vekoma) for the 2010 season to use the same new Vekoma’s style trains put to use for the first time on the Carolina Cobra at Carowinds this summer. As such, the next major new ride has been pushed back to 2011.

2011 - New Coaster - Rumor - (7/28/10) I was sent these pictures about 4 weeks ago and misplaced them until now, but they show off the land clearing in progress for the big 2011 project on t he way to Heide Park.  Anyone know more?
    (3/27/10) Why all the changes around the park in 2010? Popular rumors claim that a massive new coaster is set to arrive later this year for the 2011 season. The usual suspects are being talked about, though a B&M Dive Machine is a favored rumor at the moment.
    (11/25/09) Heide Park is still hinting that they will have another major ride project in store for the 2011 season.
    (11/5/08) We’ve got a few more rumors making the rounds this week about Heide Park’s plans for 2010. According to a posting over at Onride.de, the park made a statement that they are working on something that will be unique to the German market.  Meanwhile they also report that a project manager from Stengle’s office mentioned not long ago that they were working on a top secret mega coaster project for a German park that would combine elements from a wide variety of coasters, mentioning Top Thrill Dragster, Incredible Hulk and Superman: Ultimate Flight as examples of coasters featuring elements to be gathered together into this mega project. Time will tell if this was in reference to the Heide Park project or something else.
