Heide Park

[lewis97]

CoasterFriends has provided us with another look at the station theming, as well as inside the building...

[lewis97]

These photos are taken from Heide Park's minisite for the coaster...



More of the theming on the station



This is the rear of the station



Here is a look at the ride's shop

[Chris]

Wish they could blend the station in with the old log flume building a little more, but overall looks fantastic.

Interesting to see what the trains will look like, if they will be Raptor's but with a different colour and head on again?

Yet more images for you...



Just an overview of the station and lift hill, taken from Heide Park's minisite




Further images of the ride's shop from Heide Park World.

Also not entirely relevant, but it's Towers related so I thought I'd throw it in anyway... Google Translate's humorous translation of one of the posts in the topic; 'When Smiler Merlin had indeed ascended a horny kinky laser show.'

That station looks amazing! All we got over here in England was a few concrete slabs put together for a station..oh yeah, don't forget the few added swirls

And finally a time lapse of the track construction can be found HERE.

^ I see that the trains are still awaiting the shells

anyway, nice to see how fast this has come together compared to some of merlins 'other' projects...

Just noticed that :P

This image from CoasterFriends shows that the exterior of the ride's shop is near enough finished...



Also there is this image from the coaster's minisite that shows a near miss under construction...

[lewis97]

More images from the minisite...

Further work on the near miss



What appears to be a queueline shop



The finished theming on the bridge

[SwEDEN]

Any news on trains, how are they doing? Would love to see a pic with shells on which I can't imagine is too far away!

Nope, there is still only one train sitting to the side of the main track still without any shells on.

The finished theming on the bridge:

Really impressed with this ride so far.  Just look at that bridge alone.  nice broken effect to it.  I really hope the rest of the rides theming is just as impressive.  The park deserves another great coaster.

Like The Smiler, Heide Park has done a photoshoot of their new ride in the dark with some fancy lights and smoke!
