The Heide Park in Soltau is set to introduce the "Catacombs Tour", an innovative indoor attraction slated for 2024, promising to blend history and thrill into a unique experience.
Fictitious Newspaper Clippings Spark Curiosity
Current visitors to Heide Park are greeted in the waiting area of the popular roller coaster "Flight of the Demons" with captivating teasers. Recently installed fictitious newspaper clippings tell of a “mysterious catacomb discovery” located right beneath the roller coaster. A clever move by the park to build anticipation and excitement for the upcoming unveiling.
A Glimpse into the Past: The Log Flume
The origins of the upcoming attraction can be traced back to the former site of the “Log Flume 2”. This water ride thrilled countless visitors until its closure in 2011. Now, the since-idle area serves as the setting for the "Catacombs Tour". A fitting revival for this historically significant section of the park.
Of Catacombs and Hidden Treasures
The central narrative of the new attraction revolves around an extraordinary, fictional discovery: Ancient catacombs that had been lying undiscovered beneath the park's surface for centuries. This narrative inclusion not only offers a creative integration into the park landscape but also promises an in-depth historical experience for visitors.
Looking Forward to 2024: The Opening Approaches
Peter Dunn, Managing Director of Heide Park, expressed optimism about the progress of construction works in talks with fans and media. He emphasized that the new catacombs could open their doors as early as spring 2024. To keep interested parties informed, a dedicated
website for the attraction has been launched, offering regular updates and an exclusive newsletter.
