Krake • Heide Park

First Drop Location Fun Too short

Fun, underrated ride, but I agree with the majority that this is probably the weakest dive. The initial drop is fun but nothing exceptional. The ride itself is also fun but extremely short.

Theming Fun Too short Layout

Dives are my least favourite B&M model. The main appeal is supposedly the drop, but it only gives floater air and the hanging moment doesn't build enough anticipation for me. There are many other coasters out there these days that manage to do that "vertical-hanging-before-the-steep-drop" way better. And other than the drop, most dives (at least those in Europe) have pretty much nothing to offer, specially Krake. It did pull some decent positives on my second ride late in the afternoon, though, but that's about it. Theming is nice, with the big Krake figure and some theming here and there around the queue. Besides, the soundtrack isn't bad and it really fits the ride.

First Drop Theming Nice surprise! Too short

One of my biggest surprises! Went in expecting the worst dive coaster, ended up being my personal favourite of the model! Yeah it's short but for me it's made up for by the theming and the fact that the elements it does have are all good fun. Not to mention it's an absolute spectacle from ground level.

First Drop Theming Too short

A pretty cool themed dive coaster. The first drop in to the Krake is really cool and the inversion is good, but the layout is just way too short!!!

First Drop Too short Intensity

Main ride was only for 12 seconds

First Drop Theming Comfort Too short Layout

The definition of short but sweet! The first drop is amazing and the themed tunnel you dive into adds to the excietment of the ride. It is also really smooth and has really comfortable trains. The only shortcoming is it length.

Airtimes First Drop Harness Too short

A nicely themed dive coaster. I absolutely love that they didn't put vest restraints on this one like they did it with Valkyria at Liseberg. The first drop is nice although not as far as I had hoped and the ride despite featuring one inversion and an airtime is way too short. Nevertheless it is a very nice coaster only for that one drop. I wouldn't spend over 15-20 minutes in the queue though.

Smoothness Disappointing! Layout

It's very smooth, but that's about it for the pros for me. I was in it once, and will not go in there again. I was terrified out of my mind at the dive and the extremely short duration did not help me recover from that fear. Usually wiht roller coasters i am scared of the first drop and the rest of the ride makes it fun and enjoyable. Sadly, Krake is so short that i do not get that feeling.

First Drop Smoothness Too short Layout

Really the main issue is that Krake is so short. It feels like the first drop happens, and then the coaster navigates to the final break run. There will always be the thrill of the dive coasters drop though, and the water splash before the immelman is a nice addition as well as going through the Krakens gaping mouth. But there just isn't more to the coaster than those first 3 seconds of the drop. At least it's smooth like what's expected from B&M.

Comfort Too short Disappointing! Layout

Boring. The drop is alright but the rest of the layout sucks really bad. There are no forces and the layout is far too short. The turn after the brakes back into the station is probably my favorite part of the ride, it provides some pretty nice laterals!

First Drop Fun Too short

I really like this coasters despite its shortness and low hight. The drop is fun and feels good, the inversion is well done and the following floater airtime hill feels nice. That's it, that ẃas the ride! Would ride it anytime if the queue is max. 20 minutes.

First Drop Capacity Fun Too short

very fun very re-rideable loved it

First Drop Smoothness Too short

Nice little coaster with a good first drop and bit of weak Airtime after the immelmann. But there was nothing else to it. So its definitely too short. Liked the setting of the ride tho

Airtimes First Drop Smoothness Too short Capacity

A nice but short diving machine with suprising airtime

First Drop Theming

Krake’s a pretty typical ride for the model, giving some great airtime on the drop and a fun, yet short layout. The mouth is a nice touch and overall, I felt like it was really good, albeit nothing special.

First Drop Too short

A drop, an immelmann and a complete forceless camelback. That‘s it. Thieming is cool tho.

First Drop Too short

I love the theming for this coaster, the drop in the kraken mouth and the ship is of very high quality and really contrasts funnily with the shitty ship that's on the other side of the lake. There was no queue time this day and I rerode this coaster twice. It started to rain reeaaal hard the second time when we were just locked in, ouuch xD It was good tho. Way too short tho, wouldnt have gone on this if there was a long queue.

First Drop Theming Intensity

I understand why Krake for lots of people is not a good coaster. For me it was the first big coaster I have ever ridden and I will never forget how I felt before the drop. After the drop into the mouth of an octopus I greyout for my first time. I prefer it to Baron 1898 (too low drop but slightly better theming and great story) but Oblivion: The black hole is better (better layout, better queue line).

Theming Smoothness Too short Disappointing! Intensity

I didn't expect much from this ride, but I was still disappointed: It felt quite tame and forceless, and even the drop was not really intense. The only good things about Krake are the great smoothness and the theming, which is quite nice compared to other rides at Heide Park - especually the kraken which "swallows" you and the following splashdown look pretty cool! To sum things up, I can say this would be the worst B&M I've been on so far...

First Drop Too short

It looks good but thats about it, The drop and inversion are good but not worth a 50 min wait.

First Drop Theming Location Too short

It has a good theming and location with the kraken on the lake. The first drop is nice, but probably week compared to the bigger dive coaster. Its main problem is definitely it length. It's way too short, even compared to other smaller dive coasters.

Pointless Layout

The dullest coaster to ever roll off the B&M production line.

Smooort !

First Drop Smoothness Too short

Despite great first drop (which is neither very steep nor very high, but it is over the lake, with great krake mouth below in floorless train), nice immelman, great splash which makes you wet after the inversion, legendary B&M quality and smoothness, I just can't give more than 3 stars. After the Immelman you reach the end of the ride in few seconds and just can't believe it is over. Maybe if the queue were short it would be worth going few times, but the waiting time for this is usually quite long and the reward you receive (which is basically the drop) is unsatisfactory.

First Drop Location Comfort Too short

The shortness unfortunately takes away from this beautiful machine. It's a shame as it fits well into the park as a whole. The Kraken's mouth is nicely designed and the splash zone well-conceived. After the drop, which is of course the intense highlight of the ride (especially in the back row), and the Immelmann to catch your breath, there is basically only two moments of pretty G-heavy valleys enclosing a hill. And yeah, that's just not enough to make you want to re-ride a lot, no matter how good the drop is. Interestingly, the nearby drop tower Scream feels more of a complete ride than this - from a rollercoaster you simply expect more. 3 stars for the drop and the overall ride experience that oozes B&M-quality.

The drop into the kraken's mouth is actually quite impressive and intense. That's it.
