5:04 | I love how Harry treats the bridge like it's a trampoline. Lol
As German I have been in Hansa Park. Its definitely a nice park. It got really nice and unique Coasters, the theming is really great. I guess you didn't recognized it, but the entrance area is themed to a major city nearby, called Lübeck, here in Germany its famous because it was a extremely rich city during the time of the Hanseatic League and that gate is a small version of the so called "Holstentor". And that’s great they don’t use typical IPs, they take something out of reality and make a story around. Such as Kärnan or Fluch von Novgorod. That’s really special. To be fair it’s more a family-oriented park, sure they got Kärnan, but EVEN THAT COASTER they call it a "family thrill coaster"(no joke), however they got so much smaller coasters and a lot of kiddie rides. You have to keep in mind that this park is for families which make a holiday at the Baltic sea, so they got for the whole family attractions. In conclusion everyone who has the chance to visit that park should do it, its definitely a great park to enjoy your time.
I second that. I'm from Hamburg and my last visit to Hans Park was at Easter. It seemed like a lot of families living near Lübeck own a season pass since the park was filled with families.
I've been to Europa Park, Heide Park & Hansa Park in the last 12 Month and it appears to me Hansa Park feels like a tiny version of Europa Park. It's the little details in the Park, the winding layout, good attractions for all ages. It's also not focussed on thrill seekers. Maybe it's because Hansa Park is not owned by a bigger corp, too (well, Mack is not small corporation to be fair, but far from being Cedar Fair / Merlin etc.).
Some things i think Hansa Park can do better in the future:
- Faster Operations. Queue for Novgorod was entertaining but could be faster. Nessie had just one train running (It's a good coaster considering it's age)
- I would propose a small woodie as next coaster, something like Kentucky Flyer could just fit the available space (i'd say in the north-west corner of the park - the slides can vanish imo). It would fit with the audience.
- I'd really like them to get something like the Voletarium (Europa Park). In my opinion this is one hell of an underrated attraction at Europa Park. But this would probably be to expansive.
European theme park tier list when?
after I review all of them!
He says the bell is one of the most unique rides in Hansa park I would say that’s one of the most unique rides in the world
1000 subs no videos? And they Tore it down after the 2019 season...
Do a list of the best parks in Europe!
I hope to rank them after I review all of them!
@@CoasterStudios have u made the vid yet
That bridge looks amazing lmao
Hansa-Park is the first theme park I've ever visited and the one I've been to far more than any other.
This Park is something special. I've been to Heide Park, EuropaPark, Phantasialand and Moviepark Germany, so pretty much every major Theme Park in Germany, but there's something special about Hansa Park that sets it apart from all the others. It's not the biggest and it doesn't have the most coasters, but the love and care the owner puts into the park REALLY shows and reflects in the rides, the theming, and the staff.
I live rather close to it, so I've visited it at least once every year for the last ~20 years (except 2019 & 2020) so I've seen it develop over the years. From being a pretty minor park with only Nessie and "Rasender Roland" to the pretty big one it is today and I got to say, it is incredibly deserved.
One of the things I admire most is the attention that's given to the Guests and those who've been loyal to the park for many years. They truly care about the opinion of people. That's one of the reasons why the Park has taken such great care of Nessie and Rasender Roland and even stayed loyal to Crazy Mine (the wild mouse coaster), despite the financial disadvantages of keeping these rides going and re-theming them.
I was absolutely amazed when I visited the Park in 2021 and first got to see the new Theming for Nessie. A Theme-Park spending such an amount of effort and money on an old coaster like that, truly shows how much they value their loyal fans who consider Nessie one of their favorite classic coasters and the Trademark of the Park.
One of the reasons why the park is so beloved by many is the owner Christoph Leicht. He is almost always at the park, talking to guests and checking on rides and staff. I've spoken to him 5(!!!) times so far, and it was always an absolute pleasure. He was always asking if I'm having fun, what I like most, what I think about certain aspects of the park, and whether there are certain things that I would like to change or see in the future. What's REALLY impressive to me is, that after the first time I've spoken to him, he's always remembered my name despite our conversations being years apart. I'm usually extremely critical of CEOs and Managers, because most have nothing other than money on their minds, but I'm absolutely certain that Christoph Leicht TRULY cares about his park and is extremely passionate about improving it while keeping its unique charm.
It is my home park, and I do prefer this instead of Europa Park. Kärnan just crushes every other ride in Germany.
Even Taron?
Nee finde ich nicht
What about Expedition G Force?
Kärnan crushes my hip bones more than any other ride in germany ;P but I need to get a few more rides..
Joep van Baren Taron has no chance at all
You should do updated reviews of some parks that you reviewed a long time ago. The quality of your videos has definitely improved. I think it would be popular to re-review some of the major parks.
I would like to, but the problem is I still have to review so many parks I haven't gotten to yet that I would like to review before I go back and redo old reviews.
Thanks for all the recent reviews from Europe! Really enjoying them.
Dare Shvoor dez Carenan
Dare Flooch von Novgorod
Yeah the names are pretty curious. So I was there for the 1st Time a Month ago,and it was a great experience. The Staff was awesome (especially on Novgorod). The thing I rode the Most was Kärnapulten,got 35 Flips,it was really crazy. I was there 3 days before Highlander opened,thats very Sad. Theming and Waiting Lines are in Point (except for Rasender Roland).
All in all: Great Park,great Rides,great Staff,great Theming
Highlander was actually meant to open much earlier, but due to strong winds they had construction-delays (the special crane they used, normaly meant for wind turbines, can't operate in the risk of high winds).
Hansa Park:
Most likely to make their next major coaster's lift
Enclosed and Vertical
Dont forget the [spoiler]
Pause on the Lift
Nessi is now so cool with her new theme and hansa park is my home park.
By the time you're done with Europe park reviews, you'll be doing Japan park reviews. :)
I'm so happy that you're finally reviewing this, used to be my home park!
@Eric Thomason now it's Thorpe park
Edward La Trobe-Bateman well that’s a loss
I remember visiting this park 3 times between '94 and '98, it was a fun experience every time. I believe I still have the 1 dollar coin from Bonanza City somewhere.
Went just this Monday, Kärnan is an absolute top coaster hands down. The park definitely looks nicer now than some of this footage.
"The closest major city to it is probably Hamburg"
Lübeck: Am I a joke to you?
I mean heck the main entrance is a mini replica of a famous monument in Lübeck, which itself is squished right between Hansa park and Hamburg. Hamburg tbh is a pretty good distance away from the park, at least in European terms but what do I know.
DrDewott mit dem Wort Major City würde ich erst ab 500.000 Einwohnern anfangen
Ich hoffe einfach mal dass du deutsch sprichst 😂 unwahrscheinlich dass ein Ali Lübeck kennt
Ami*
Maybe Lübeck isn't a mayor city for americans, because it only has a population 220.000 , but it is pretty big for germans, especially for north-german standarts.(And the city is beautiful). Lübeck is like only 20 Minutes away. The Park is even themed like Lübeck at some places. Kiel is even bigger, with a pupulation of about 250.000 and it's way closer than Hamburg.
That's a cool ride ever ridden!!!😄❤👍
Went a few weeks ago. Loved it
great video! again
hansa park is really awesome, i really enjoyed it!!
7:09 There was a bird on the track! Keep replaying it. Close call lol.
you can even find pictures where you see some birds building their nest in/on the structure of some coaster at hansa park. Those birds are a bit suicidal.
It's videos like these that make me wish I had monet to visit every park possible in the US and eventually across the ocean.
good video about the park. 👍
It’s so incredible chaotic in Nessie’s station...
Looks like it has great scenery!
J Terry TV If you can, rather go here than to EP
Nice, you met Natalie and Matthias from "Meine Achterbahn Welt".
yeah im a member of the danish coasterclub so i will go to hansa park and hidie park this sommer and as many i have time for hope it will be fun :)
it’s kind of triggers me to see heide park written like heidi, which is an Japanese anime series about a girl in Switzerland.
Good timing
Nice review! Best coaster channel BY FAR!
Do an alton towers review :)
I think next up is Grona Lund. Alton Towers will come after Thrope Park.
I will eventually!
I honestly believe you could read the dictionary out and make it sound interesting and enjoyable to listen to.
Morgan Freeman did that with the phone book.
The closest city to the Hansa Park is Lübeck, as it is right next to it and you can see the rides of the Hansa Park from the beaches of Lübeck.
Yeah, my homepark
I visit this Park since ~25 years ago and it's awesome to see how it transforms more and more. I mean, it's a small Park but they got some really awesome Rides and the theming is getting better and better every year!
xD heyy i grew up in this park xD
If you go there in late summer (around the end of August) after the Summer holidays ended in all of Germany and Denmark the Park is almost empty all day. Been there last year in August with two friends and we never had to wait for any longer than 10 Minutes.
Will we see a next German tour for F. L. Y at Phantasialand and for Highlander and the one stuff in Germany?
Isn't it wierd where tpw realesed vlog from hansa and heide respectively at the same time as these reviews come
That kiddie coaster is the best RMC in existence.
This video definitely makes me want to visit this park someday. Just a quick question.. is there any particular reason that European theme parks always seem to feature a wild west section?
Going to go to heidepark and hansa park. Soooo looking farward to the gerstlauer coasters.
Just went to Heide last week and Hansa this monday, you won't be disappointed.
Heide Park has no Gerstlauer Coasters
Can you increase the shutter on your camera a bit if you want to keep it 24fps? The 24fps just triggers me with this shutter at 4k for coaster footage and the panning shots, wayyyy too stuttery
I have a pretty high shutter speed for pretty much all of these shots.
3:21 most of the european parks dont have a waterpark
The only ones I can think of are Alton towers and Mirabilandia
Pluto gardaland is building one
@@willsharp9666 and europapark is currently building one or at least the start of one. I guess they will ad more waterrides with vehicles over the years outside the massive building
@@willsharp9666 energylandia has a free waterpark
That is true
0:40 PADUMTSSSSS
They Just Got a new ride Highlander wich is the highest giro drop tower. 120 meters high, almost 400 feet. And its freestanding
5:01 Is that Matthias from Meine Achterbahn Welt? :D
Ist das Matthias von Meine Achterbahn Welt?
6 more parks to review
I am from the US and have only been to 6 theme parks worldwide. 3 in Germany: Europa Park, Erlebnispark Tripsdill and Holiday Park) and another 3 in the UK: Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, and Chessington World of Adventures. This was a 2-week trip all back in 2012!
I am currently researching other parks in Germany and the surrounding areas (countries). I am definitely leaning towards Phantasialand, and am considering the Heide Parks and Hanza Park.
Do any of you have park suggestions? I would love to do another 2 week trip, but realistically can be gone a max of 9 or 10 days.
Thanks in advance!
It's probably way too late, but I'd still like to make a suggestion:
I've been to all of the major Theme-Parks in Germany and I would definitely suggest Hansapark and/or Phantasialand. While Phantasialand is a little bigger and more tailored toward international guests, Hansa Park has the advantage of its atmosphere, location, and special coasters (including Nessie, the old unique Schwarzkopf Looping-Coaster that's been treated insanely well and runs absolutely amazing for such an old coaster - not to mention its incredible theming).
While Phantasialand always struck me as more of a tourist destination (that is VERY well themed); the Hansa Park always feels to me like a piece of Nothern-German History with an incredible atmosphere (and for quite a few years now - also extremely good coasters and attractions in Kärnan, Novgorod and Highlander).
In conclusion, I'd call it a 50/50 decision. I'd personally always prefer Hansa-Park but because of it being a part of my childhood I'm a little biased. You are very likely to have a good time in both of these parks.
Regarding Heide-Park:
I've been to Heide-Park a total of 9 times and to be completely honest, none of these visits were truly good. Heide-Park always seemed like the opposite to Hansa-Park to me. The atmosphere is non-existent (if not straight up bad), the coasters are either extremely badly cared for and have become an absolute pain to ride (Big Loop [Vekoma Double Loop & Corkscrew], Limit [standard SLC that has been closed for over a year now]) or are simply too short and uneventful ("Krake"- Very small dive coaster that lasts less than 20 seconds; "Desert Race" - Very small launched coaster without any real elements and almost zero airtime, that's also over in less than 20 seconds; "Flug der Dämonen" - Mediocre Wing Coaster). The only coaster that truly stands out is "Colossus" the Wooden-Coaster... that one is really really fun.... IF it is open. And that's a big IF!!! That's another thing about Heide Park: The downtime of coasters is insane. In the 9 times I've been there, Colossus has only been open THREE times!!! The gyro-drop tower is also rarely ever opened. Limit has been closed for a year now. Big Loop has a lot of downtimes (but it's become an absolutely awful experience anyway), the Bob-Bahn is often closed as well, etc...
The chances of you being able to truly get your money's worth is completely based on luck. There's a good chance you'd go to Heide Park and only be able to ride 2 of the coasters.
Another aspect is the complete lack of love and care towards the scenery. There are Construction containers that are used as toilets and painted containers that are used to sell food.... it's honestly quite depressing.
--> In conclusion: I can't recommend Heide Park. The chance of picking a bad day and being able to ride almost nothing is just way too high! You'll have a better time at Hansa Park or Phantasialand in 9 out of 10 times.
@@creativeself7147 Thank you very much for your feedback!!! I greatly appreciate it! I have yet to go on my next trip, but have my new passport ready... this information will definitely make my decisions easier!
Taylor when are you coming to kd next because it’s my home park
nice
Do u release your park reviews when shawn from tpw does a vlog from the park or something? Lol first Heide park then this.
Just a coincidence!
thanks that rly helped me decide but how many days to stay?
Easily a one day park off season but on season definitely better to spend two days.
@@shroomyesc thx
We were able to do everything in one day, but it was also very empty when we visited
@@CoasterStudios thx
Dave DALK It’s my home park, and when you visited for the first time, two days with normal crowds are the way to go
that pigeon at 7.09 just cheated death
If you had to choose a better park would it be Hansa Park or Heide Park?
Indiana Thrills Hansa Park does everything better, from theming over drop tower to top 2 coasters
Gerstlawer
Just......gerstlawer
4:03 the bell will be removed sadly I loved this ride
Knobels amusement park is just like lagoon
It's my favorite theme park. Maybe because it's my homepark.
Onon OC Mine Aswell, and after visiting every main theme park in Germany, Hansa Park wins for top two coasters and ties with Phantasialand for overall experience
@@jojo_hendriks they are really improving the theming
@@jojo_hendriks i would say phantasialand is far superior then hansa park in theming
@@stijnvangurp9432 well, in theming yes, but not in story telling
@@jojo_hendriks true , what’s you’re favorite coaster attm
I'm really curious what could make that bell ride better. Tell us how you would change it, please.
Personally, I think it looks like crap and appears to be a crap ride, but that's just my opinion.
the bell is gone now ToT
hey comments! does anyone know the outtro song?
czcams.com/video/ZZ5LpwO-An4/video.html Grüße
Would this be worth visiting if they didn't have Karnan?
No, not really unless you liked travelling to parks exclusively for atmosphere. The only other mention worthy coaster is Fluch Von Novgorod but it's quite short and painful, but Kärnan really makes it worth it for atmosphere and rides.
It depends on where you live.
@totallyunfocused true but it usually isn't worth a long distance trip to travel for a Eurofighter. Since the park does have Karnan, my question is obviously meant to just assess the rest of the park.
ShroomWalrus Novgorod isn’t painful at all
you spoke german accent verywell bra.
When i was a kid Hansa Park had only one rollercoaster (Nessi) and the thememing sucked, now it’s way better
It’s actually not the Baltic Sea yet it’s called the eastern sea back there
Ofcourse it is the Baltic Sea. And Ostsee is the german name for it.
yeah its still part of the Baltic sea, if you want to be more specific it would be the "lübercker bucht" or "bay of lübeck" which is part of the bay of mecklenburg which is part of the Baltic sea. this felt like a Matryoshka doll
Since two weeks the bell is closed... I hope the don't close it forever.
One word: Karnan
Hansa park like geurstlaur
Hansa Park had a big aging-problem for a while, just recently they demolished a bunch of old stuff (old swings, a Ferris wheel (as far as I know it's gone), an inverting swinging ship), the re-themed the rapids ride from Mexico to pirates (since the whole park gets now themed around the "Hanse"), and Nessi was completely overhauled (they removed the old tin tunnel around the brakes too, which was crazy loud) and brought in some new attractions.
Nessie is still on borrowed time, it's rumored that she won't be around for long due to safety-concerns and spare part availablity.
If you noticed, "she" almost never runs all 3 trains.
Max S. Nessie rarely even uses 2 trains
They should of got a B&M.
Le poop
So lots of stuff has changed? Didn’t you just go here? Making stuff up maybe?
I went in June of last year. Almost a year ago. I was not making up anything I said in this video.
