Colossos – Kampf der Giganten
Colossos – Kampf der Giganten is the wooden roller coaster at Heide Park Resort, in Land der Vergessenen. The ride first ran on Friday 13 April 2001. The park calls Colossos the fastest and tallest wooden roller coaster in Europe. It is one of the "Big 7", the park's seven big roller coasters and thrill rides.
The concept
In 2016 Colossos had to close because of problems with the track. After a major renovation, the ride returned on 19 April 2019 as "Kampf der Giganten". The story: a dark power is growing underground and wants to destroy Colossos. Only the energy of the ride and the screams of its riders can stop it.
The Experience
The lift hill takes you up to 60 metres. Then you plunge down and reach up to 110 km/h. Along 1,500 metres of track come hills with plenty of airtime, the moment you briefly lift out of your seat. A ride lasts about 2 minutes and 44 seconds. On a clear day you can see as far as Bad Fallingbostel from the top.

Start your day at Colossos
Colossos is the park's best-known roller coaster. Head straight to Land der Vergessenen as soon as the park opens and you'll usually have the shortest wait.
Watch the fire
Next to the ride stands an enormous tree creature that breathes fire. From the Colossos terrace you get the best view of the trains and the flames.
Consider an Express Ticket
Colossos is included in the Express Ticket Gold (from €59) and Platin (from €99), as of November 2026. With these you skip the regular queue.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.40 metres tall and 10 years old; the maximum height is 1.95 metres. The ride is not suitable if you are pregnant or have heart problems, back problems or high blood pressure. The ride is not suitable for visitors with a disability. Have you got a child aged three or under with you? Then pick up a free Baby-Switch-Pass at the Service Center. That way you can ride one after the other as parents without queuing again (only on days with Express Ticket).
25 years of Colossos
In 2026 Colossos celebrated its 25th birthday. If you'd like a souvenir to take home, stop by the Colossos Shop after your ride. On the terrace next to it you'll find the Schmalzkuchen-Schmiede and Colossos Snack for a break with a view.
