Heide Park and the Corona measures

You can see that Merlin Entertainments is a little more professional than the medium-sized company nearby. It is therefore less surprising that the Heide Park Resort is also making exemplary progress in its implementation of the Corona measures. The entrance including instructions on how to wear your mask in the park simply works smoothly. In the park itself this is a different game, as many visitors do not want to follow the rules. Masks can be worn at will, often they only cover the mouth and not the nose. Also keeping distance is often an unsolvable task during the course of the day despite existing and clearly visible ground markings. Only in the attractions themselves the rules are respected. This is a pity and only ensures a large number of announcements.

Despite maximum capacity, the Corona measures taken result in longer queues at each attraction. The staff is visibly trying to keep the operation running at its best despite the measures taken. In this respect I would like to thank all the ride ops in the park; you guys are really great!

But as the queues were partly too exhausting for myself, I enjoyed the day with only a few rides. Especially because of that it was a quite relaxed day all in all, where a lot of videos but also some photos were taken.

The novelties of Serengeti-Park

Safari-Blitz, Safari-Blitz-Kids and the Big Foot Safari

After more than half a year of rehab I decided to go to the Serengeti-Park Hodenhagen today to finally have a ride again! The sympathetic animal and amusement park in the Lüneburg Heath has changed a lot since my last visit in 2013. Many rides have left the park, but in addition there are quite a number of unique attractions, which really make a visit to the Serengeti Park unforgettable.  The big and small novelties this year definitely speak for themselves. The ride on the Big Foot Safari was simply terrific and in the finals I simply pulled myself out of my seat. The Höllenblitz aka Safari Blitz is doing great in the Serengeti Park and the small revolving gondola roller coaster next door was a positive surprise – after all Safari Blitz Kids is completely unknown to the roller coaster community so far :).

The visit during the Covid-19 pandemic

But due to the corona, the visit was by no means normal. Many rides simply didn’t have any more capacity, which made the queues in some places look ridiculous. Furthermore, all safari attractions are often crowded with visitors who do not want to take the new rules of the park into account. This is a pity, as the park really tried hard in many ways and the staff was always attentive. It may have been Whitsun – the visitors really did come from all over the place – but I recommend a visit during the week when there is no rush.

Wildpark Lüneburger Heide (2020)

Wildpark Lüneburger Heide during the Covid-19 pandemic

The Wildpark Lüneburger Heide near Nindorf close to Hamburg has been open to visitors again since last Wednesday. For Corona reasons, visitors are currently required to wear masks in the entrance area and when ordering at the food stands and in the shops. Apart from that, one appeals to common sense and does not interfere any further with what is going on – at least this is the case in the actual zoo; at the tree-top trail Heide Himmel there may be longer waiting times due to the current one-way policy, as the exit for many visitors has to be via the lift at the observation tower and use is only permitted for groups belonging together. In general, the management of the park is really exemplary in this respect. The newly gained normality is visibly good for the visitors, but those who continue to be frightened by Corona should rather visit during the week or skip it for the time being.
