Heide Park is a theme park in Soltau, Lower Saxony. With an overall area of over 850,000 m², it is one of the biggest German amusement parks and the biggest in Northern Germany. The park is part of the Merlin Entertainments group, a British company who also operate Alton Towers and Thorpe Park in England.
Heide Park currently has about 40 amusement rides which are aimed both at families and thrillseekers. One of the main attractions is Colossos, a wooden roller coaster which, until the opening of Balder, on 4 December 2003 in the Swedish amusement park Liseberg, was the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world.
