What a fun little surprise. I didn't expect that coaster to be one of my favourites in the park. But the drop was surprisingly nice and the ride smoother than I expected. The only two downsides are its low capacity and the noise of the trains. It was deafeningly loud at times, especially in the station. Apart from that a classic coaster that was way better than it appeared to be at first glance.

As far as wooden coasters go, Colossos is easily my favourite one in Germany. Well, it's one of my favourite coasters in general. The first drop and the following airtime-hills are outstanding. Unfortunately, the helix kills the excitement a little, but what the final stretch lacks in intensity, it makes up for in theming. The fake-out dead-end track and the giant fire-shooting monster make for a great climax. I just wish they'd do something with the barren patch of grass in the middle - there's literally nothing going on. Aside from that, Colossos is an intimidating but awesome ride that's surprisingly smooth for a wooden coaster.

Flug der Dämonen was my first wing coaster and I was really impressed by how smooth the whole experience was. The ride has some great inversions and a fun layout which unfortunately is a bit on the shorter side. When I visited the park, the coaster had some downtime and once it opened, operations were on the slower side. Unfortunate, as it's a very re-ridable coaster.

Theming and location are great: the first drop above the lake into the Kraken's mouth and through the ship is phenomenal. Visually, it's a great coaster whether your riding it or just observing from the sidelines. It's a shame, then, that this is pretty much it. After the drop there's nothing else, the ride is over in a heartbeat. Ultimately, it's a fun one-trick-pony that's not really worth it if there's a >10 minute queue.

The star of the ride surely is the hydraulic launch which is quite punchy and intense. The layout itself is fun albeit nothing out of the ordinary. "Desert Race" is too short, though, which ultimately holds it back a little. Still a fun coaster but it could have been so much more.

Big Loop is an outdated coaster that has a special place in my heart as it was my second ride with inversions and the first one with an actual loop when I was a kid.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.

As a kid I was too scared to ride Limit. When I finally came back to Heide Park as an adult, I obviously had to face my fears. Little did I know that my younger self probably spared me some trauma back in the day. The repainted 'Toxic Garden', as it's now called, is the worst coaster I've ever ridden. The over-the-shoulder restraints were a nightmare as my head was constantly banging from side to side. Only ride this if you hate yourself or want to experience whiplash first hand. A turd covered in a fresh coat of paint is still a turd, I'm afraid.

It's a family boomerang that's neither intense nor very long. The only thing it has going for it is it's theming as it's located in Klugheim. Capacity is lacking and the ride is incredibly short and ultimately disappointing. Having to wait in line for more than 5 minutes is definitely not worth it.

It's greatest strength is that the train car looks like a frog. Other than that, it's a kiddie coaster that runs on a track that is equally as creative as a NASCAR circuit. There's basically no point riding it unless you're either looking for the count or are 6 years old. Is it necessary? No, but there were quite a handful of happy kids getting repeated rides in when we were there.

As far as mine trains go, this one is pretty fantastic. It's quite long with three lift hills, offers a crazy dark section and nice theming overall. In the back it pulls some surprisingly strong laterals at times which makes it more intense than you'd initially expect. Unfortunately, due to its age, Colorado Adventure is not the smoothest right out there: I wouldn't exactly describe the seating as comfortable and the lap bar doesn't help either. From what I can tell, sitting on the right hand side (back row) is a bit more comfortable than sitting on the left.

Not that much to say about this Tivoli: It has a nice enough layout but lacks in intensity. I rode it in the back and was hoping for a little more punch. Capacity is good, though, and it's a rather smooth ride overall. I love the front car as well, it's like the caterpillar is giving you the Luigi death stare as it's rushing by.

Winja'sFear is a fun indoor spinning wild mouse in Wuze Town. Riding and spinning through the indoor area is a fun but rather short experience. It has a few surprises up it's sleeve that are refreshing but ultimately just a minor part of the ride. It's main downside are its short length paired with low capacity. Therefore, Winja's often has the longest queues of all the coasters at Phantasialand which makes riding it not really worth it. Why wait in line for 30-50 minutes if you can get almost two rides on Taron in that same timeframe?

As has been stated, one should look at Crazy Bats more as an experience than a coaster. The ride is quite long and sells the illusion of riding/sliding through a castle surprisingly well. Personally, I haven't experienced any problems with the VR-headsets myself but saw it happen in the train before me (people were offered a second ride). While Crazy Bats isn't particularly exciting, it's decent enough as long as you're not having to wait for more than ten minutes. Unfortunately, operations are quite slow, due to the VR headsets.
