Speculation that Heide Park would be getting a new roller coaster began in late 2009 after it was revealed that the park was working on a project code named "Ungetüm 2011" (translates to "Monster 2011").
In September 2010, track pieces from manufacture Bolliger & Mabillard began to be delivered to the park which then led to rumours that the new roller coaster would be a Dive Coaster.
On October 31, 2010, Heide Park officially announced Germany's first Dive Coaster, Krake.

Construction was handled by RCS, a German construction company.
Beginning with the splashdown area, construction later progressed into the Immelman loop and station areas.
In late January 2011, the final piece of track (top of the first drop) was installed.
After testing and a ribbon cutting ceremony, Krake opened on April 16, 2011.

After the original advertised octopus mouth (where riders would drop through) that was to be placed at the bottom of the first drop was never built, the public began to question why the park didn't follow through with what they advertised.
In response, the mouth was constructed during the following off-season.
