Y'know, I think the ride would be one million times better if "take the tunnel" was written in hieroglyphics over the entrance to the tunnel under the temple. Or whatever the French equivalent is.

It must be an awesome feeling for the park's themeing design team when it's all said and done and they can sit back and watch the guests having a great time and admiring your work.
Right behind Black Mamba, this has to be the most heavily themed invert. Amazing job. Too bad I'll never make it to this park. :cry:

Well, last monday a train stalled on the lift around 15:00 and it didn't reopen that day..

You'll never end up here? It has a brilliant woodie AND now a brilliant inverted coaster as well.. Don't underestimate tonnere de zeus, it's pretty much impossible to overestimate that track :).

Here some random parc asterix images

Nice theming..

Image
Nice overbanked!

Image
There's something on your face.. IT IS PAIN!

Image
Well, it's more fun then it looks like from offride :)

Image
:D

A piece of art

Image
Nice, calm station

Image

Image
Well, that's not the busiest station ever :)

Image
Nice!

Image
:)

Image
Ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie! Oh, well, not during this run, because the track was a bit moist of some light rain just before that run.. It really runs much better after some light rain and a warm day :).

Image
It was not as bad as I expected, but still quite bad :)

Image
Pity it's impossible to take pictures of tonnere..


That's all ;)

Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!

Spent a few hours in Parc Asterix today.

After a rather tame ride on Tonnerre 2 years ago, we got to ride it during rather heavy rain today. Our backseat ride in the pouring rain was incredible. I now get all the love for Tonnerre.

Oz'iris looked absolutely breathtaking, even in the rain. The ride itself was very good and a nice addition to the park. Supersmooth (frontseat) with decent forces, however nothing too incredible. Perfect ride for both families as well as thrill-seekers.

Overall operations seemed good in the park, although it wasn't very crowded.

On Saturday the park was packed! Rode Oziris only 3 times also due to the fact that the single rider queue was closed! Yet I say it's the best inverted I've been on so far. So much forces and surprizes!
I wish I knew french to understand all the jokes in the queue line!

Goudurix is awful. They really should do something about it.
