Big Loop is a classic, old rollercoaster. Like really old. And unfortunately, you can feel that. You can see that heide park was going for a record here - the 4 inversions are all not super bad but still not good, there is little to no theming and the restraints are uncomfortable. Besides that, the location is very pretty because Big Loop is placed over the sea in the middle of heide park.

Sorry but i hate this coaster so much. More than the slc next door. It might be because im not very tall but i felt like i was going to die the entire time. But i have to say the location is nice but ...

Big Loop is an outdated coaster that has a special place in my heart as it was my second ride with inversions and the first one with an actual loop when I was a kid. So I'm somewhat happy that it's still around even though it hasn't aged too well. It's not the smoothest ride, the layout is very basic and on top of that it's over too quickly. Definitely not a must-do but I appreciate it for its nostalgic value and it's pleasing aesthetic next to the lake.

Yes it's rough. i know. And the restraints are crap. But that drop gives some good airtime in the back and I regularly grey out in those loops. In addition to that, this ride is a classic and an i...

Yes it's rough. i know. And the restraints are crap. But that drop gives some good airtime in the back and I regularly grey out in those loops. In addition to that, this ride is a classic and an important part of german theme park history.

Looper Vekoma qui ne baffe pas tant que ça mais qui n'est pas agréable pour autant. Situation idéalement choisie avec cet enchainement de loops en bord de lac où les smartphones sont de sortie pour la photo.

Big loop c'est un vieux vekoma qui baffe et qui vibre même si je m'attendais à bien pire. La drop est pas mauvaise et c'est plutôt intense dans les inversions mais son principal atout c'est sa situation, il est très jolie à regarder en offride avec ses corkscrew au dessus du lac et ses looping à côté des allées autrement c'est très oubliable.

De retour dans les bas-fonds de Vekoma. Ah celui-là a quand même quelque chose d'unique avec une belle ligne droite en sortie de drop avant d'enchaîner les Loops. Au moins elle permet de ne pas prendre de baffes.

THis is a actually a decent coaster . Its forceful with the loops. The drop is ok towards the back. The corkscrews are really bad both unformatibility and forces Everything is quite uncomfy just extra much at the corkscrews. There is nothing else to the layout so that kinda sucks. I would put it higher but it is uncomfy and short. NOTE i somehow didnt get headbanging and the capacity is also kinda bad (which isnt the ride but is something to note)

Just bad. I don't care if it's old. Nessie at HP is older and it's way better. This is one of those credits you have to suffer through. The corkscrews are awkward, the straight portions of track to ma...

Just bad. I don't care if it's old. Nessie at HP is older and it's way better. This is one of those credits you have to suffer through. The corkscrews are awkward, the straight portions of track to make it a "custom" model suck and the loops are a bit nauseous. The force changes there seem badly designed. Besides, this trains and harnesses are unbearable. Setting over the lake is nice, though, providing some great photo opportunities.

I never experienced such a bad train. It's complete discomfort when you sit in the trains. You can't move your arms. You feel completely disabled. The ride itself is also pure discomfort. The track is...

I never experienced such a bad train. It's complete discomfort when you sit in the trains. You can't move your arms. You feel completely disabled. The ride itself is also pure discomfort. The track is (typically for old Vekoma tracks) uneven and rattles all the time. The loopings are quite okay and the worst element is the corkscrew. The only good thing I can say is the location over the lake.

Surprisingly very enjoyable for its age and ride type! The location is great and the ride is very intense, especially in the double loops. Also, while it's jolty in places, miraculously the rest remai...

Surprisingly very enjoyable for its age and ride type! The location is great and the ride is very intense, especially in the double loops. Also, while it's jolty in places, miraculously the rest remains relatively smooth. Overall a good classic!

I guess this rollercoaster is as good as it gets with older Vekoma coasters. The restraints are terrible and the ride's discomfort is only outmatched by Express Platform 13's, it rattles and actually none of the inversions are that great. As on many Vekomas including the newer ones (e. g. Abyssus at Energylandia) the ride once again features much too quickly driven through loopings. Nevertheless the ride looks great near the lake and it probably serves as a cult classic for older generations.

I do have to thank Big Loop for being my first inverting coaster, and it helped me get over my fear of inversions. However, the over shoulder restrains are very uncomfortable, especially for anyone taller they simply force you down into the seat. I personally had to slide down just to fit somewhat comfortably, and I'm only 180cm. The layout fits nicely with its position by the water, but the headbanging sure leaves the mark of a headache afterwards. I made the mistake of riding it twice in a day. At least it's nicer than Limit (or soon to be called Toxic Garden)

Was expecting much worse but it isn't that bad at all. There is a slight rattle which may be uncomfortable, but the layout is quite alright. The two loopings give me a slight grey-out and the corkscre...

Was expecting much worse but it isn't that bad at all. There is a slight rattle which may be uncomfortable, but the layout is quite alright. The two loopings give me a slight grey-out and the corkscrews above the water are a really nice visual. But yes, Python at Efteling is much better, so you're better off riding that one.

Not the worst Vekoma Looping coaster i was in. The retracked Shaman is worse than this. Was a little surprise to me. Yes it is outdated. Location is just awesome, the ride looks good and it is a c...

Not the worst Vekoma Looping coaster i was in. The retracked Shaman is worse than this. Was a little surprise to me. Yes it is outdated. Location is just awesome, the ride looks good and it is a classic in it‘s age. Should have a long future, kids still love it as much we did in the past. We are just getting old. :-)

Une note sévère, mais hormis le cadre dans lequel le coaster est, rien ne va. Je pensais que le SLC du parc serait le pire coaster et bien c’était faux. Que dire, l’appuie tête est dur et dès la drop finie, j’ai pris un coup à l’arrière du crâne, avant d’enchaîner sur un parcours dénué d’intérêt mais fournit en baffes. En bonus, pour tous les grands dans mon genre, les genoux ne passent pas sur l’avant des wagons et sur les sièges arrières les deux genoux cognent de droite à gauche. Première fois que je peux dire qu’un coaster m’a pété les genoux !

This ride is very picturesque, maybe the most picturesque in park and I eventhough the skyline of the lake would never be the same, I have to say, that all track of this ride should be retracked or closed. Much worse that I expected. No theming, uncomfortable trains.

Definetely not a star attraction, but it was still okay considering its age. Yes, there was a rattle, but not as much as I expected and headbanging was not a big problem. The straight piece of track b...

Definetely not a star attraction, but it was still okay considering its age. Yes, there was a rattle, but not as much as I expected and headbanging was not a big problem. The straight piece of track between the drop and the loops is quite strange and the rest of the layout is not really creative, but this coaster looks really nice at its location at the lake. The biggest con are the ugly and uncomfortably narrow trains...

Well, this is my favorite for 'the most dreadful theming award' - this rollercoaster has absolutely no theming and additionally, it is painted in the same ugly colors as Limit which is right next to i...

Well, this is my favorite for 'the most dreadful theming award' - this rollercoaster has absolutely no theming and additionally, it is painted in the same ugly colors as Limit which is right next to it. Given the age of the coaster, I was expecting terrible ride in terms of smoothness and comfort, but it is better than on Limit. The worst thing is the layout (you can really feel the age of this): the coaster is not high, the speed is low, the drop is dreadful, after the drop there is 30m of straight track (what is it for??). Ok, there are 4 inversions, but the only positive thing I can say about them, is that corkscrews are over the lake, which makes them quite nice. The last part of the ride (after all inversions) is absolutely pointless - nothing really happens there and it is very jolty.

Yeah. This has its place as a ride that is fun to do once in a while, but suffers from its age and its uninspired layout. Station design has kind of stood the test of time. Trains are not uncomfortab...

Yeah. This has its place as a ride that is fun to do once in a while, but suffers from its age and its uninspired layout. Station design has kind of stood the test of time. Trains are not uncomfortable per se, but not on the level of some of the newer rides in parks. Drop is garbage in the front, but quite fun in the back. Entrance into the loops packs a surprising amount of Gs in the front. Entrance into the double corkscrew is surprisingly fairly aggressive, as its diameter is pretty narrow. Rest of the ride can get lost. Or then again maybe not, because it would be even shorter. Big Loop is not riding smooth anymore, but very tolerable for me. Overall an OK ride, that can provide a bit of fun occasionally.

Un looper bien intégrée et très jolie . Mais avec un layout sans grand intérêt et si la première partie ( de la drop au 2 ème Loop ) se passe sans encombre . Dès le virage on retouve le Vekoma qu'on aime pas . Ça baffe , les corckscrew sont pris tellement lentement que nos épaules tape sur le harnais . Et pour ne pas aider les trains sont assez étroits . A faire pour le +1 .
