To the honest, although I understand most german, I didn't really have a clue about the storyline of the ride. So I can't tell you what this theming was for.

Unfortunately, the ride op didn't feel like driving us around. He told us there were at least 10 persons needed for him to drive out. The park being completely dead, this ride being in a deserted corner of the park, it would never happen to find enough other persons to ride with us. The ride op seemed happy we turned around and started talking with a colleague while having a smoke.

Note to the Serengeti Park management : we really appreciated that all rides where in operation although the park was really dead during our visit. But one of your drivers of Dschungel Safari is rather relaxing than working. The way he got rid of us, didn't fit in your park. We were at your park October 7, at the ride 430pm. You can look it up which ride op it was.

Before proceding to the next park report, I have a report for you of the Hotel Port Royal, which is the Heide Park hotel.

1 strange thing : if you want to open the window completely, you need a special key. You can get this key at the reception but you have to pay a deposit or rental fee (not sure anymore what it was) of 10 euro.

Photo TR : Zoo Safari & Hollywoodpark Stukenbrock

Postby Groteslurf » Wed Nov 10, 2010 10:21 am

Day 4 of our trip, the day we would hit 4 parks.

First park of the day : Zoo Safari & Hollywoodpark Stukenbrock.

A park I had never heard of before till I found the park on internet as a park with coasters, on our route and open the day we would pass by, so the park was included in the itinerary immediately.
DSC00605 (Medium).JPG
After a fast ride, we arrived at Stukenbrock at opening time. Purchase of your tickets is done as you see on this picture.

DSC00606 (Medium).JPG
The park existed 40 years in 2009. They are so happy about that, that they are still celebrating this in 2010.

One more thing : if you ever go to a safaripark, take the Nightmare on Elmstreet sountrack with you. This music turned out to be the most perfect on-board-audio ever for the Safari part.

The safaripart is much smaller than the one at Serengeti. We raced through the safaripark so that we could explore the attractionpart.
