The close-up of the zero-G roll (fourth from bottom) is close enough that it could conceivably be seen as a really twisty element on a sit-down. Now why doesn't B&M do that?? :br

:omg: I need to get myself down to Parc Asterix sometime soon. This is a very impressive coaster, for one with a old coaster type.

To me, this looks like one of the better inverts B&M has ever come up with! The speed looks very impressive, and the first drop in the back seat looks amazing!

Holy crap, those night shots are gorgeous. This coaster already looked fantastic, but that lighting package with all that theming is seriously immersive. I wish more parks were as particular about their theming as this because it really creates a distinct character for the ride. It's amazing.

I missed this portion of the ride in previous posts.

I love the way this looks. Is this a unique element or sequence of elements?

It's a loop and an Immelmann from a funky angle. It does look pretty sweet though :)

I already thought the theming was already impressive, but seeing it a night...JUST WOW! Parc Asterix, keep up the amazing work.
