About Heide Park
About Heide Park
Heide Park sits in Soltau, Lower Saxony, on a large wooded site in northern Germany. Owned by Merlin Entertainments, it has one of the biggest and most varied coaster line-ups in Germany: Colossos (one of Europe's tallest wooden coasters), Desert Race, Flug der Dämonen wing coaster, Krake dive coaster, and Limit. A dedicated resort hotel sits adjacent to the park.
Heide Park's busiest periods run through the German summer school holidays (July-August) and the Halloween/Horror season in October. Midweek visits in May, June and September stay noticeably quieter. Check live wait times for Colossos and Krake first thing in the morning, and use our crowd calendar to avoid peak holiday weekends if you want to ride everything in a day.
