Who remembers the opening of “Toutatis” at Parc Astérix? Its claim to fame: being the tallest and fastest ride in France. But this time, we’re taking it up a notch: heading to Europe’s tallest free-fall tower… this time right in the heart of Paris. Thrill-seekers, you’re in for a treat!
“Mega King Tower” stands 80 meters tall and offers a 140 km/h drop in 3 seconds…
Brace yourselves—this is going to blow your mind! It’s THE new attraction of 2026 that everyone is talking about at the Foire du Trône. This year, the capital’s largest funfair unveils its “Mega King Tower”: an 80-meter-tall tower promising a free fall at 140 km/h… in just 3 seconds.
Europe’s tallest free-fall tower is coming to Paris
Because yes, for the past few days, the Foire du Trône has made its grand return to the Reuilly lawn in the 12th arrondissement. A 69th edition all about thrills, featuring an attraction that pushes all boundaries. And for good reason: it’s Europe’s tallest free-fall tower, set right in the heart of Paris’s biggest funfair.
The equivalent of a 25-story drop
Named “Mega King Tower,” this colossus—equivalent to a 25-story building—promises to challenge even the bravest. On the agenda: a 10-ton panoramic gondola with 24 seats dangling over the void, and a dizzying ascent before a lightning-fast descent. Accessible to anyone over 1.30 meters tall, it’s already establishing itself as the flagship attraction among the 250 already on site.
You have until May 25, 2026, to try the experience—the closing date of the 69th edition of the Fair!
In short: Enough to put Disneyland Paris’s 60-meter-tall, 63 km/h “Tower of Terror” to shame. Ready to take the plunge? Do you have a strong stomach? One thing’s for sure: you might be in for a fall… nopun intended!
