Hansa Park in Sierksdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, is Germany’s only theme park by the sea. The family run amusement park at the Baltic Sea offers a large number of family-friendly rides and breathtaking roller coasters. With the Schwur des Kärnan at the latest, it established itself as one of the most innovative amusement parks in Europe.

But those who think that the rides are all too wild will still get their money’s worth in Hansa Park. Apart from a really beautiful park landscape, the amusement park convinces above all with its extremely inexpensive gastronomy, whose price-performance ratio can hardly be beaten.

Fun Fact #1: The park originally opened as the first Legoland outside Billund. After only a few years the park was sold and renamed Hansa-Land.

Fun Fact #2: For the 2017 season the backward fall on the roller coaster Kärnan has been significantly intensified. For this purpose the retractable brake swords were removed in the upper part of the braking track, so that it was now shortened and you can stop directly in the lower holding brake. So you not only fall faster and further, but also brake shorter and harder.

Kärnapulten and Der kleine Zar

Der kleine Zar

Actually, one should only be able to tell very little about the history of a newly built roller coaster. With the roller coaster Der kleine Zar it’s different, because apart from the background story assigned to it, there was a background story of its own regarding the production, so the ride could only be built this year and not as planned last year. The standard model of the Italian manufacturer Preston & Barbieri, which already makes its rounds in the Swedish amusement park Liseberg, did not meet the latest standards and could therefore not be approved in Germany. Corresponding adjustments to the small roller coaster took a little longer than expected, so that the construction site, which had already been prepared, was temporarily filled with two children’s rides. At the beginning of the season the ride opened without further problems.

The ride on the Der kleine Zar begins with the exit from the curved station into the lift hill of the ride. Arrived at the top, a little dip follows, whereupon the fast downward helix joins. In the valley, the youngsters then experience wonderfully pronounced forces before a small hill follows. After that the station is reached immediately and three more laps follow.

Der kleine Zar is an utterly nice roller coaster for the youngest guests of Hansa Park and/or for the park guests for whom the other roller coasters are still too scary. The ride can definitely be described as fast, as the acceleration is quite pronounced and offers a great alternation.

Kärnapulten

As a second and originally planned novelty for this year, the Gerstlauer Sky Fly ride Kärnapulten opened shortly after the start of the season. The classic among the semi-automatic carousels is also presented in a stylish outfit, but the ride cannot be compared to the other rides of this kind. While there, with a little practice, a high number of rollovers is possible on selected places, here it is a miracle to get a rotation at all; thus, one does not offer the proven ride pleasure for Sky-Fly veterans, for all other passengers it remains the same, of course. The reason for this is the big tower of the roller coaster Kärnan, which has a noticeable influence on the ride dynamics.

Ballinstadt (2017)

itemprop="discussionURL"0

Museums in Hamburg are awesome! Despite their informative nature, they normally feature a very creative and interesting design for a better and more immersive learning experience. One of these great places is the Ballinstadt in the South of Hamburg. The museum focuses on the emigration via Hamburg and migration movements from the 16th century to present. There are many good reason for emigration and migration and that’s something we might have forgotten. In this regard, head towards your nearest S-Bahn station, take the S3 and exit at the Veddel station.
