Krake Review, Heide Park Bolliger & Mabillard Dive Machine | Worst B&M Dive Coaster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2022
- Krake is the Bolliger & Mabillard dive machine at Heide Park. It opened as the smallest dive coaster and it's still the only one in all of Germany. It has one of the most iconic drops in the world plunging into the kraken, but does that save it from being the worst B&M dive coaster?

While it's definitely too short, I still love the three main elements. The drop is of course awesome, and the Immelmann is easily the best one I've experienced. Its incredible and sustained floater in the back makes it my favorite inversion in the park. And the camelback is also really nice and graceful floater. Krake is probably the definition of 'really short, but really sweet' for me, if that's a thing.
It's still fun. Just I prefer the other (usually longer) dives.
I rode Oblivion TBH at Gardaland (the extended version of this) and it was so much fun, it was still short, but all the other qualities it brought balanced it out for me.
Such a great dive coaster, too! The star at Gardaland for me. The location makes it a magical ride. Riding it during the sunset over Lake Garda is unforgettable
Wait we have an oblivion dive coaster at alton towers in the UK, never knew there was another with the same name elsewhere!
@@NorthernRidesYaBoi I personally prefer Raptor just because you get more prime ride time and it has a much better theme. The theming and near-misses are what makes this ride also a little better tbh.
But I gotta say Oblivion TBH is really fun too, especially that drop.
I prefer that Oblivion myself.
I would still probably take this over say Valravn at Cedar Point due to the awesome looking theming and unique placement for a splashdown. Great review 🥃
I prefer Valravn. Better drop and more ride.
@@CanobieCoaster touché Canobie
I haven’t ridden a dive yet but I’m exited to ride one since the other b&ms I’ve ridden raging bull,Batman, Superman ultimate flight, and x flight were great
They're fun rides.
I think this coaster is actually pretty great for the park, just because of the imposing drop into the Ship and the huge splash it produces - it's just a really great looking ride. Yeah it's a short but honestly the drop is so great, it alone makes for a fun ride and the immelmann also gives great sustained airtime if you have some space. Out of the three divers I have done I would agree it's the weakest, but I think it still deserves a 7/10
It does have a nice presence.
It's funny, when I was there last summer (2021), that one bunny hill gave some fantasically sustained floater air-time but I've never heard anyone ever mention it being more than just weak floater so I don't know if I was just really lucky my trip.
Still, it's the only dive I've done so I rate my experience on it quite highly plus that drop is amazing!
Great video as always my guy.
The bunny hill rode the same for me in 2019 and 2022.
This coaster has solid theming, but it’s layout just looks so weak. I’ve ridden two B&M dives, Valravn and Sheikra. I think they’re both very underrated. But this was an awesome review, keep up the great work!
I wish it had more length, but what it has is fun.
waited 90 damn minutes for the ride, man was I disappointed after I hit the brakerun, I was like "Oh that's what I just waited 90 minutes for?" but later that day I got an awesome night ride at krake. The nightride was truly amazing, but the layout is way too short.
Oh wow!
And would you like to ride again all B&M dive coasters, including Oblivion at Alton Towers and Oblivion: The Black Hole at Gardaland? Those two, see in POVs, but I think they are short like Krake at Heide Park.
I would ride any B&M dive again. Krake just isn't as good as the others.
Imagine seeing videos of you from 2020 and early 2021 with Krake at Heide Park, that reflected the rides you got on it back... in 2018?
Canobie Coaster would say...
I didn't ride it until 2019.
Looks awesome !
It does look good.
I have a soft spot for this ride. It is extremely short, but the first drop is very good and I just love everything about the decoration: The theme is awesome, the execution is really good (especially the drop into the maw) and the soundtrack fits perfectly.
It does work well.
Nice review, have to agree with you, the drop feels so much weaker than other dive coasters, the theming is cool though. I found the seats so close together I couldn't even move my arms :D Just as tip for your German pronounciation, generally a word ending in 'e' is pronounced 'uh', so it's Krah-kuh and Hei-duh Park :)
Thanks, I was going to record my overall park review later so I'll make sure I get it right there.
I couldn't believe it when you said "and hit the brakes". I was wondering if I blacked out and missed you talking about the other elements. I always like the dive coasters, and at least this one looks great, even if it is short.
If you think this is short, look at Oblivion.
And of those coasters you got experiences between 2017, 2018, 2019, see in RCDB:
Oblivion at Alton Towers
Krake at Heide Park
Baron 1898 at Efteling
Raptor at Gardaland
Blue Tornado at Gardaland
Tornado at Parque de Atracciones de Madrid
Tonnerre de Zeus at Parc Asterix
Alpina Blitz at Nigloland
ShockWave at Six Flags Over Texas
Stunt Fall at Parque Warner Madrid
So how do you think between those coasters reflecting those experiences?
I enjoy riding most of those coasters. Blue Tornado is the exception; that ride is awful.
A good looking ride. I'm thinking there should be more of these smaller dive coasters.
If Emperor and Dr. D are well-received, it's possible.
The tunnel (aka shipwreck) was actually planned for opening day, but something went wrong during the construction. They even started building the steel structure but tore it down again
Ah ok, thanks!
I'm not sure when it was added!
I am so ready to ride this on our honemoon next year! 😁
Have fun!
Did something change about krake? Because I recently heard that the last bunny hill gives only weak floater despite it being the best floater airtime I have ever experienced on a Rollercoaster
It rode the same for me in 2019 and 2022.
I’ve only ridden 2 dive coasters in my whole life. This one and Baron 1898. (yes only the 2 smallest ones) because I’m a Dutch guy who doesn’t travel much. Baron is better to me in every aspect. It’s got better theming, the drop is better as well with that really cool misty tunnel and the layout after the drop is better on Baron too. The splashdown of this coaster doesn’t add anything on-ride, it’s just a glorified brake that looks cool off-ride. It literally doesn’t even make my top 3 rides of the park, because desert race was more enjoyable to me.
I prefer Baron for the theming and extended layout.
A fantastic drop, cool water splash and immelman, but WAY to short. I get dives are a 1 trick pony, but even Oblivion has something to it that seems longer or I guess the better word is more complete.
I give Oblivion the edge since it has a taller and better drop.
Honestly I didn’t find this ride to be as weak as others say it is. I still really loved the ride especially that first drop. The layout kind of reminds me of the second half of Griffon with the immelmann, bunny hill, and splashdown. Still, I’m really glad B&M started working on more unique layouts. Dive coasters didn’t even introduce any new inversions aside from immelmanns until 2015!
What it has is good. It just doesn't have much.
I don't think it's the worst, but I can understand that people may be underwhelmed that this ride is very short in length. That's where I think the other miniature dive coasters do better, is that the elements are better and is better paced.
What it has is good.
Man, these dive coasters get it rough from the coaster community. I personally enjoy the way the G-Forces hit you on the way down on these. I love the theming on this one. Is it the restraints that people hate or the shortness of the typical dive coaster? I do applaud parks adding these to bring a different ride experience.
I like this ride, but it just doesn't do as much as the other ones (which it why I think it's the worst one).
I agree that Krake is underwhelming to ride. But it has two nice features: First it is at the center of the park which makes it visible from almost everywhere in the park ... and audible! You can always hear the screams when the car drops, even from a greater distance and the ride looks awesome with the water splash. And second it has this fantastic soundtrack from Imascore: ruclips.net/video/XZFmPaWQD6Y/видео.html
So overall: a bit boring to ride, but a nice spectacle in the middle of the park!
I still find it fun, but the ride just can't beat the bigger dives.
This was my first dive coaster and I loved it
Nice!
What other B&M dive has the prototype layout other than Oblivion?
Diving Machine G5 at Janfusun Fancyworld.
@@CanobieCoaster ok thatnks!
I am gonna have to disagree a whole lot here haha.
Its a short ride, but the elements it has ate perfect to me. The drop is soo nice and floaty all the way down. The immelman might just be my favourite Immelman i have expeienced! Sooo indcredibly floaty and pretty sustained. The camelback is not strong, however it is sustained, and if you have a little gab in the restrain, you won't tough the restrain but not the seat either. Thats soo magical!!😍
I still like the ride, but I prefer the other dives for better drops and/or longer layouts.
@@CanobieCoaster I actully prefer Krakes to Barons layout (I still gotta take Baron over for an amaizing overall expeience!!). As much as Baron have more elements after the drop, I enjoy non of them nearly as as Krakes 2 elements.
Other than that I prefer Krake to Oblivion too. The only i have ridden where I prefer the layout is Valkyria. And I would even say I still prefer Krakes quality, but Valkyria just have so much more
0:26 Since When Does Sheikra Run 3 Trains?
Pretty sure I saw it in Christmas Town a few years ago.
See in RCDB: Krake at Heide Park.
Krake at Heide Park was not placed in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020). So if I ask you, why?
It's a comfortable ride experience.
And see those B&M dive coasters:
Krake at Heide Park
Oblivion at Alton Towers
Oblivion - The Black Hole at Gardaland
Baron 1898 at Efteling
Those four B&M dive coasters were not placed in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020). So if I ask you, why?
All dive coasters are comfortable for me.
I haven't ridden either of these coasters but I think Oblivion at Alton Towers could be the worst. It may have a longer and faster drop but it's not as tall, it's not as long, it's not as themed, it doesn't go upside down, it doesn't have any splashdown element to it which always makes it more exciting and it still has a floor on its cars.
Dive Machine G5 is probably worse as it is the same layout but without the Terrain. And no other dive coaster has a deep tunnel like Oblivion's.
Oblivion has great airtime on the drop, and staring down at the tunnel is really intimidating and I’ve ridden it more times than I can count. Staring down at a black hole you know you’re going into really creeps me out.
I prefer Oblivion because of how amazing the drop is.
Fljector is my new favorite word
Enjoy!
It would be cool if we get a B&M Dive in America with this type of splashdown
BGT would like a word with you
It would be neat to have one after the main drop.
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 no like Krake here
Heidepark is my homepark. Its short but goldie.
I like the park a lot.
Krake at Heide Park was not placed in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020), made in early 2021. Oblivion at Alton Towers, Oblivion the Black Hole at Gardaland and Baron 1898 at Efteling were also not placed there. Limit at Heide Park was not placed there, but Blue Tornado at Gardaland was. So if I ask you, why?
Limit is one of the worst 25 coasters I've ridden, but I only put one SLC on the list and Blue Tornado is worse. The dive coasters you mentioned are fun rides.
This was a very disappointing ride, one of my least favourite coasters in Europe. I was expecting a similar experience from oblivion at Alton towers but I thought the setting next to the castle and the dive into the mist along with some decent positives on the pull out made this a much much better experience for me
Oblivion's drop is far superior because of that tunnel.
I agree. Baron is a much better experience. Krake was just too short and unimpressive.
Fun, but short.
Someone said krake looks like the new nemesis monster which it dosent.... much
I haven't seen the new monster yet.
@@CanobieCoaster go see it it's awesome
I feel like krake is always left out with the Asian dive coasters
Forgotten about?
The worst dive coaster is oblivion. It's trash. Just the hill and a turn.
The drop is awesome though
I prefer Oblivion since the drop is far superior.
