HEIDE PARK JAUNT

Last Sunday was...



...closing day for the season at the theme park 40 minutes south of Hamburg known as Heide Park. Part Disneyland, albeit on a small scale, it is perhaps more like Ohio's Cedar Point (at least as I remember it) -- heavy on the scary rides and a bit light on the shows and "adventures."




A small group of Meg's friends went for the day to check out the latest stomach-churning roller-coaster "Colossus," said to be the biggest wooden roller coaster in Europe. Their lower tracts couldn't have been too challenged by all the rides, and re-rides, as they had no trouble chowing down on the park's dubious indoor fare.









Leslie's delightful ISH friend, Kim Petersen...







...drove one car load and I drove the other. Kim escorted the younger girls around the park while Meg and her older friends did their own thing. I spent the day staying warm in the restaurant, sipping tea, and getting my email inbox under control.
