Thursday late evening a friend and I decided that Friday would be a good day for a visit in Germanys biggest adventure and theme park, the "Heide Park".
About 2 hours driving by car and we arrived at 8:30am. God, we were excited :mrgreen:
A new attraction opened a few month ago, called "Desert Race". This oneīs definitely not for the faint-hearted. It "shoots" you from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds and during that 30 seconds ride youīve got 4 zero gravity moments (in Germany called "airtime moments" so sorry for using these words even if they probably sound completely wrong to you lol), which feels great!!!!

I took a few vids and loads of pictures ...
for the rollercoaster freaks here, enjoy them!!!!!!

I took this vid whilst we were queuing. We managed to do that ride 4 times, and the adrenalin factor youīre having after this ride is unbelievable!!

The "Bobbahn". A rollercoaster without rails. Just pure centrifugal force! We rode that rollercoaster 5 times in a row and I never got sick of it. Itīs brilliant!

If youīre referring to the screaming.. well that wasnīt me. After being 8 times in a row on that rollercoaster there was really no need for me to scream anymore lol

i bet those are awesome rides after a few pints!!!! hope you had fun, (btw, is fort fun and phantasia land still on the go??)
Those are awesome rides, even without having had a few pints ;-)
Both theme parks are still on the go. I personally hate Phantasia Land, not enough rides, too many shows...:? Heide Park is the best theme park in Germany!!!!

Betty you did all that but was nervous on the London Eye?!!
I know, stupid innit? But non of those rides lasts longer than 2 minutes, the London Eye lasts 30minutes. Thatīs the difference lol

Wow! :shock:

I wanna go to a theme park now!! Looks amazing Betty! :D

It was amazing!! If you ever come over to Germany you have to go there!!! Really, itīs such big fun!
