Parc Astérix has been entertaining young and old alike for 35 years. Thrill-seekers love the thrills and spills of Toutatis, France’s highest and fastest roller-coaster. Families, meanwhile, love strolling through the Gaulish village to say hello to Asterix, Obelix and all their friends. To celebrate its anniversary in style, the park has just inaugurated a brand new attraction! And we bet you’ll love it just as much as all the others.
Cétautomatix: Parc Astérix’s new attraction
This brand-new roller coaster is located in the center of the Gaulish zone. As its name suggests, it pays tribute to Ketautomatix, the village’s famous blacksmith. You know, that famous character who’s always arguing with the fishmonger, Ordralfabétix and the bard Assurancetourix!
Accessible from a metre upwards, this spinning coaster, designed as a dynamic spinning rollercoaster, is sure to thrill. Aboard chariots that can accommodate up to four intrepid Gauls, you’ll face off against other passengers, which is quite original for this type of attraction. The special feature of a spinning coaster is its chariot! It not only turns on itself, but also follows the rails of the course, which heightens the sensations! And it will be the very first of its kind in Europe.
In terms of speed, the ride reaches speeds of up to 45 km/h. With steep inclines, tight bends and unpredictable acceleration, you’re in for a unique and thrilling adventure! Most of the attraction is outdoors, but an indoor section is also included, where you’ll see the Gaul’s garage in full swing. A great attraction to try out this weekend with the whole family!
