Wow. That looked spectacular.
Any news whether they were used on any other nights yet. Would certainly keep a crowd until closing.

Just came back from Parc Astérix and would like to share with you my off ride in full hd I've made from OzIris! This is easily my favorite inverted coaster! It rocks a lot!

Thanks for the video. Looks like a fantastic invert.

Does anybody read Robb's review of OzIris on their Facebook page??? Can't believe what I was reading! SERIOUSLY!

No. Pleasy copy what he wrote.

Robb : "Gave OzIris another chance in the afternoon, back row. It ran *slightly* faster, but it was so bumpy and shaky, it gave me a headache. Overall, a really boring, disappointing ride. "

Oh crap, that was unexpected, the ride looked so good :/

[KingRCT3Did my donkey title just change???]

Really unexpected because it looks good, rides good, is good..??

Oziris is not as forceful as Katun/Montu/Afterburn (a good point for me, though), but I don't understand where he found the bumpy part.

Did you read his review of the park as a whole?

Overall had a really nice day at Parc Asterix! The park was insanely packed, but our front of the line pass and early ERT on Oz'Iris helped out! It's a great park with amazing theming - I wish they had slightly better coasters, but what they have seems to resonate well with their audience. A highly recommended stop when in Paris, France!

Everyone has their own opinions! There are obviously a good chunk of people who really like Oz'Iris. There's a difference between "a bad coaster" and "a coaster that you don't like". The big thing about Oz'Iris is that it was really, really hyped (R.D. keeps calling it Montdeux, comparative to Montu), so you'd expect that it's a fantastic ride that everyone will like. That's very, very rarely the case! There are always people who will think it's "just okay" or "not good".

Examples - the Coney Island Cyclone is probably the worst ride I've ever ridden, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who really enjoy the Hersheypark Storm Runner, but I don't like it because it's so short.

Like Eric said, the overall opinion on the park was that it was a great place to stop, so that certainly won't stop me from wanting to go there.
