I'm off to Heide Park and Hansa Park with the ECC in a couple of weeks. Has anyone been to these parks, and if so what rides do they have, (apart from Colossos obviously!), especially Hansa Park as I have NO idea what is there! Also, what are the rides like and are the parks likely to be really crowded, etc. Thanks!

Hope it isn't too late for a reply and you weren't already on your trip.
Anyway, first the Heide Park:
They've got two Swinging Ships
Two Log Flumes
Some Huss-Flat-Rides (Condor, Magic, Flipper, Break-Dance, Enterprise, Rainbow, Topspin)
"Grottenblitz", (a Mine Train)
"Mountain Rafting" (Rapid River)
One Theme and one Dark Ride
a Polyp (a think by Schwarzkopf, but I don't really know)
"Schweizer Bobbahn" (Bobsleigh Coaster)
"Big Loop" (Vekoma Double Loop/Double Corkscrew)
"Limit" (Vekoma SLC)
"Colossos (everyone should know about that one)
and some slow other rides (not themed good enough to care about)

Hansa Park:
"Nessie" (Schwarzkopf Looping Coaster with only one inversion, the first ever Loopingcoaster in a german Theme Park)
"Rasender Roland" (Vekoma Custom Designed Junior Coaster)
A Flight Simulator
Two Log Flumes (one's got boats like Intamin Shoot the Chutes, only smaller)
"Rio Dorado" Spinning Rapid
"Monte Zuma" (Free Fall Tower or one of the many variations that exist. Dunno which one that is)
"Crazy Mine" (Wild Mouse)

So these are the main-attractions
