KRAKE
KRAKE stands in Bucht der Piraten, right on the Heide Park See. The coaster opened in 2011 and was Germany's first dive coaster, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. It is one of the "Big 7", the park's seven big roller coasters and thrill rides.
The concept
A monster has awoken in the lake: the giant squid KRAKE. Its tentacles clutch a shipwreck. You sit in a wide train with your legs dangling free. That's how you're pulled up high above the lake. At the top, the train stops just before the edge.
The Experience
For a few seconds you stare straight down at the wreck in the tentacles. Then the train lets go and you plunge vertically 41 metres into the depths, reaching 103 km/h. The track is 476 metres long. At the end you skim across the water, sending up a huge splash.
Discover KRAKE
Sit at the back
In the back, you're pulled over the edge. In the front, you hang over the abyss the longest. Try both.
Watch from the water
KRAKE ends with a big splash in the lake. From the paths around the bay, you can see the water shoot up high.
Express Ticket
KRAKE is included in the Express Ticket Silber (from €39), Gold and Platin, as of November 2026.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.40 metres tall and 10 years old, with a maximum height of 1.95 metres. The ride is not suitable if you are pregnant or have heart problems, back problems or high blood pressure. KRAKE is also not suitable for visitors with a disability. Have you got a child aged three or under with you? Pick up the free Baby-Switch-Pass at the Service Center. That way, as parents, you can ride one after the other without queuing again (only on days with Express Ticket).
A trophy from the deep
Survived the beast? In the KRAKE Shop at the exit you'll find souvenirs of the coaster. Then combine KRAKE with Big Loop, which stands nearby in the same bay.
