- OzIris at Parc Astérix in Plailly, France is the best Bolliger & Mabillard invert in my opinion. This Egyptian themed coaster is extremely underrated. Find out what makes this coaster better than rides like Nemesis, Montu, and Katun in this review!

I love the european B&M inverts.
I like all of them.
I love Oziris. The first drop is so good, and the layout is super creative. I love the presentation too, the theming and setting is fantastic. Honestly, I've ridden Montu, Nemesis etc, and this is probably my favourite too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves this coaster.
Same here
Agree
I've only ridden one ride with an Immelman (Talon), but I don't get why people dislike them so often. The one on Talon is so great! Twisty, floaty, disorienting -- one of my favorite inversions on any ride anywhere.
I find they tend to lack the power of the other invert inversions.
OzIris is definitely the invert to inspire Banshee at Kings Island: no pre drop, the dive loop as the first inversion, and just the very very drawn out elements that Banshee also has, however, the theming on this ride is just so much better in terms of presentation~ The inverted coasters in the US are still amazing, but the European B&M inverted coasters are just something else~ I've ridden Behemoth and Leviathan with nylon wheels during the colder fall seasons, and the coasters are not just noticeably louder, but definitely faster in the cold. I know that since the nylon wheels are harder, the train does vibrate against the track more than if it had the softer polyurethane wheels in the hotter weather. But regardless, OzIris looks hugely underrated as a B&M coaster. I don't hear a lot of people talk about it, unless few coaster enthusiasts that are near France ride it. I don't think that there is a bad B&M (maybe if you're counting Firebird) out there, and this looks to be just as good as any inverted coaster B&M has built. I think OzIris does look better than Banshee in my opinion, because it definitely seems to be more compact that Banshee does, despite the ride only going 56 mph.
Outside of Montu, most of my favorite inverts are outside the country. The best is if you go to a park like Canada's Wonderland in the fall when they have the faster wheels and you get an abnormally warm day. I've had something similar happen with Nitro at Great Adventure and it was hauling.
I agree with literally EVERYTHING you said about this ride. I've experienced Black Mamba, Montu and Nemesis but this has got to be my favourite.
All those are great, but this one is my favorite.
Hello from France, it's my favourite coaster in my home park
Nice!
Oziris Deserves MORE Love.
Also Oziris Is A Rare Credit Due To It Having No Pre-Drop. Inverted Coasters With No Pre-Drop Include Banshee At Kings Island And Monster At Gröna Lund
Banshee’s first drop is my favorite part of that ride. Much prefer its drop compared to any of the other US inverts I’ve been on
I think my favorite drop on the US inverts is still Alpengeist due to its size, but Banshee's drop is cool too. It just didn't have the airtime of OzIris.
I hope in the future more B&M Inverts come back to America
Me too. I was trying to think who the most likely candidates to build one would be and my best guess would be SeaWorld San Diego or the Herschend parks because of their willingness to spend big on B&Ms and their current lack of inverts.
OzIris looks fantastic! It's great how this invert can really stick out without having to resort to gimmicks or records.
Agreed! Stats aren't everything with a ride.
6:15 what a smooth transition
Thanks!
Osiris looks like the result of if Montu and Banshee had a baby
It really does.
It looks like European montu
Oziris definitely looks like an underrated invert!
I agree!
@Sidney Stoops It got worse reviews when it opened so I'm wondering if it ran super slow that year or something.

I expected this ride to be rough as hell, but I too was very pleasantly surprised with its smoothness. We rode front row the first ride. Our other rides were from the single rider queue, so you’ll never know what you’re going to get. We got the second to last row and I was preparing for some serious head banging and not being able to ride anything else the entire day, but boy was I wrong! It totally relit my spark for inverts!! Couldn’t wait to reride Black Mamba and totally loved it. So looking forward to riding Banshee and reriding Montu of which I totally forgot everything btw.
Just a warning on Banshee, some of the trains are quite shaky now.
You’re leading a one-man revisionist revolution for this ride! I look forward to see the ripple effects in the community.
People just need to ride it and I hope it runs like it did for me.
I love that ride! And to give it some more praise, It has a long layout without a mid-break. And it still manages to run 3 trains!!
It only ran two the day I was there, but they never stacked. The operations at this park were great.
Excellent video. Editing was great. The tunnel moment was brilliant. Love that you ended it with a full pov.
Thanks!
OzIris really seems polarizing but after what you’ve said I’m sure I’ll love it and it looks very good
It seems to have gotten more favorable reviews as of late.
Awesome Review btw neat transition at 6:13!
Thanks!
Rode it in June, ran like a beast. 2nd favourite invert behind nemesis
I take this over Nemesis.
It looks awesome, and it doesn't get talked about enough. I am someone who appreciates variety in a coaster, so I could see this being my favorite invert if I ever get to ride it.
I think a lot more people will try to get here once that Intamin opens.
6:15 that was a very smooth transition between clips, nice.
Thanks!
Rode Oziris on 30th April and then again on 1st June. Two totally different rides so don't know if they changed the wheels. The April ride was more intense but there was quite a bit of rattle on the back row. The next day it was running so much smoother, still intense but not as intense as the previous day. We preferred the smoother ride which was nxt to back row, I think. Have ridden it about six times in total, all on hot days and it is definitely our favourite invert.
I rode it in the spring, so I got the faster wheels.
You didn't mention the wonderful leg chopper on the second 0g roll! Every time I curl up at this moment x)
That is a great feature.
Agree to everything you said here. I rode Ozlris on both Aprils and summers. It's easily my number 1 invert! Sadly it is so underrated. I had high hopes for Banshee and it was a huge disappointment, it's just the same repetitive positive G's over and over again just no fun. Ozlris has much more variety for its size and length and yes! AIR TIME!
So is OzIris better in cooler weather or was it the same in summer?
@@CanobieCoaster To be honest, I don't feel any big differences. My first ride was in the opening year towards the end of July. It was a pretty hot day and the park was packed. The trains run full load each time and I felt that it was fast! (contrary to the reviews then, maybe from the heat?) and it was glass smooth! April ride was just as amazing regardless. I preferred back roll.
probably wouldnt be my favorite invert personally but i can definitly see how it could be someone elses favorite invert, but i rly appraciate how unique the layout is, it was something that made me love great bear a lot so i think for oziris it would do the same
Great Bear is another one with an odd layout for sure. I love that helix.
@@CanobieCoaster i like that weird corkscrew at the end
Great video, thanks
Thanks!
6:12 ok that transition was smooooth...
I'm proud of that one.
Loved that transition at 6:12
Thanks!
Of the 1st four you mentioned at the beginning I'd eliminate Nemesis. It's got great theming and it's a unique layout, especially for a B&M invert, but I can't see how it could top Montu, Katun or Pyranees, and of those four you mentioned I've only ridden Nemesis. Then I watched this video, and I can tell you that I have a new bucket list B&M invert. France seems to be lucky with B&M inverts; they have "Le Monster"; a Raptor imported from Japan clone that never trims the trains's speed on the MCBR.
I place a big emphasis on theming, setting, and uniqueness which is why I rank Nemesis so highly. It also helps that ride is forceful. But if Nemesis were just on a flat plot of land, it would be behind those 3 you mentioned.
@@CanobieCoaster That's completely reasonable. I also had a painful pustular node on the inside of my ear riding Nemesis 14 month ago when I rode it and it's a short ride. But neither of those problems stoped me from marathoning it. ;)
ive been on this in the front and back and oh my goodness its god tier its a full package i had fast track too but also waited in the main queue (which moves INSANELY quick) for the front row and yes the main queue is so beautifully themed
I love it.
I honestly love this as well, but I found it completely forceless. I enjoyed it because when I rode it it was glass smooth and I loved the theming, but it was nothing like older B&M's. Just imo. But yes there is airtime. Heck I even got airtime on Talon at Dorney Park, but Oziris has more for sure, we rode it when it was a few days old. I don't know how it runs now. Some inverts have some decent airtime. Just mentioned Talon as it was the first time I got airtime on an invert :)
I know some people have had worse experiences on OzIris, but I found it plenty forceful in between those airtime moments.
Great review !
2:41 yes it does
Thanks for letting me know!
I used to think this was a coaster with like a 7/10 ranking, but this actually gets me really excited for it, and I even live 1 hour from it, can’t wait to literally lap this a billion times. Also if you’re planning to go here DO NOT GO FRIDAYS 13, in france it’s actually for good luck, so most people would go there at that time.
Oh thank you!
new coaster (tonnere 2 Zeus) opened up and literally half of toutatis is done, so maybe you can revisit the park like another time after 2023
I did ride Oziris in April this year and it surprised me - but still place Nemesis and even Afterburn above it (I don't get leg numbing intensity on Oziris!). Though, I was alone, and usually my true rankings are on my second visit to parks. I'll go back with a friend in the next few years and I'm sure it will shoot up my rankings! It did also have a noticeable rattle on some rows - is that something new? I must say that zero G roll was indeed the best I've ever done - perfect profiling, taken at the perfect speed. Magic.
I didn't find it to have a rattle in August.
I think it was on the drop? I preferred it to Banshee due to the restraints, but Banshee was glossy smooth and I didn't think quite the same of Oziris... re-rides needed!@@CanobieCoaster
I've ridden nemesis (normal and inferno) and have also ridden Oziris and I can say form experience, this is better than both of them. It is even better than smiler in my opinion...
Also as a French native the ride is pronounced like Oz e Reez
Thanks for letting me know how it's pronounced!
No problem lol
Im shure you would like "Hals über Kopf" at Trippsdrill in germany. its the new Vekoma STC, and it hats Airtime on an Invert aswell. Furthermore it will shur get some nice theming for 2021, is very smoth and overall extreamly good.
Until covid hit, I was supposed to go to Tripsdrill in 2020. That ride looks great and I hope to ride it soon.
Great review. For me, I don't see any invert beating Montu. Guess I need to take a trip to France...
I highly recommend it!
Love the review, I'm waiting for the new Intamin before I go. FWIW it's aster-icks not aster-isk!
Ok thanks! I'll try to remember that for future videos. This is a park I have no qualms going to multiple times since it was my perfect blend of thrill rides and theming.
@@CanobieCoaster don't know if I got a bad ride (with the slow wheels) but Oziris didn't live up to the lofty expectations. I have it in #7 on my rankings, only marginally better than Nemesis Inferno and far below Nemesis. Toutatis was fantastic though, solid #3 in France/UK combined ranking.
Great video, no comments on it’s beautiful Speed the Ride like color scheme? The blue track is so beautiful. You know those are not helixes, right? Also, on a B&M invert and flyer the “zero g roll” is called a Heartline Spin.
Thanks! I love the overall appearance of the ride. I always get mixed up between zero-G rolls, heartline rolls, barrel rolls, etc. Most ride similarly to me.
I really like the banking on that zero g roll
It really prolongs the hangtime.
What do you think of Goudurix? Personally it looks like a good ride. Have you ridden Toutatis yet?
I have not been on Toutatis yet. I liked Goudurix in 2019, but I've heard the ride ran better that year than usual.
could you do a review of pegase at parc asterix?
No, I didn't get to ride that one enough to give an in-depth review.
I wish America had unique B&M Invert layouts
We have several custom layouts, but they do often follow a familiar sequence.
I’m curious if more Huss Suspended Top Spins will come to America because I’m surprised one went to Australia
Considering a lot of parks removed them, I feel like they may not make a return. The ride I want to see built more is a Moser Gyro Loop.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah
Did you ride katun? If yes did you do a review of it?
I have ridden Katun, but I haven't reviewed it yet.
Would you like to go to Parc Asterix again? And OzIris?
Yes
🤩
Are u going to grona Lund when monster opens
It depends if Americans can go to Europe this summer without quarantining. But I have no clue what international travel will look like in 8 months.
How many credits do you have?
1033
Great edit at 6:15
Thanks!
I’m here for this the blitz that won’t open and the pink bobsled
I can't wait for the new Intamin.
Did you ride Monster at Walygator Parc yet
I have not. Walygator isn't a priority for me since their star ride is a clone of Raptor and I've heard horrific things about Anaconda.
How intense is this compared to Afterburn?
I think the strongest positive G parts of OzIris are on par with Afterburn's inversions (minus the batwing).
I really need to go ride this
Name checks out!
That ride looks awesome, I wonder why people don't talk about it that much
I don't think many enthusiasts from the US get to Asterix.
Yeah true, but there's a lot of other international coasters that do get talked about like Nemesis and Katun.
@@chiefbeef6251 Probably helps those ones have been around quite a bit longer.
( write by a French coasters fans ) , oziris is a very good ride , airtimes and intense , The monster at Walygator parc is better but oziris have a good theming
I've ridden Monster's near clone at Cedar Point and far prefer OzIris.
How does a inverted have airtime
Hals-uber-Kopf does too.
can someone do pyrenees vs talon vs patriot
I have a ranking video for all the B&M inverts.
@@CanobieCoaster ok
Made in 2020, I saw a video from Canobie Coaster that says: Most surprising roller coasters in the world. OzIris at Parc Asterix was placed there. Why?
It was more forceful than anticipated with several airtime moments too.
Great video 😉 I'n France we have to to B&M coaster, Oziris and the Monster , My favorite is Oziris because he have a wonderful landscape but the Monster it's fantastic machine.... but white placed in a garden 😅😭🤣. I live in the middle of Park Asterix ans Disneyland Paris. It's vers cool 😁. The mother of my girl friends worked in Disneyland, but i prefer Asterix, because he have Oziris and Tonnerres de Zeus and because Disney it's ... realy EXPANSIVE 😅😭😭🤣. It's the prince for the magic 😁🤣
I haven't been on Monster, but I have ridden the near clone at Cedar Point in Raptor. I like OzIris far more. Having both Parc Asterix and Disneyland nearby must be great!
Let's hear about Tonnerre de Zeus next!
I'll talk about that ride in an upcoming countdown video, but I know the ride wasn't running to its fullest potential the day I visited. It was running super slow. Maintenance actually had to grease the tracks the last hour of the day, but it was too little too late. I think they were banking on a rain storm lubricating the tracks that never materialized.
great invert. what is your least favorite?
Have a whole video on that
I don’t understand how a B&M inverts, specially newer ones like this gives so much airtime, because as far as off-ride footage and POV’s goes, only the drop looks like it has airtime, you’d think it’s an inverted B&M mini Hyper with inversions. On the subject of invert coasters, it looks like when Kings Island were designing Banshee, B&M took inspiration from Oziris, minus the Montu theming.
I was surprised it had airtime as well. The drop was easily the strongest airtime, but the other ones were more of the floater variety. However, it was so odd getting airtime on an invert and it juxtaposed the inversions really well.
@@CanobieCoaster It looks a lot like monster coming to grona lund
Will you review Pyrenees soon
Unfortunately, I don't know of a POV or off-ride footage that I can use. I just have one or two photos of that ride. My thoughts can be found in my invert ranking video.
@@CanobieCoaster Theme Park Review has some
Would you like to go again to Parc Asterix?
Yes
Its my favorite invert too
Nice!
Why hasn't anyone done ozlris vs Montu video
Not sure!
@@CanobieCoaster it needs to be done, I or someone else just hast to get to France and Florida to test both rides current status. I do plan on going to parc asterix soon but I'm waiting for the gravity group renovation of their woodie and the upcoming pantheon killing blitz coming next year
I always thought this coaster is not talked about enough.
That's why I went it with such low expectations.
This thing looks so good, sad Black Mamba isn't in your top 5...
I do really like Black Mamba though. There are just better ones.
@@CanobieCoaster black mamba looks one of the best imo haha :P
At the park, both OzIris and Goudurix were in your video of most surprising roller coasters in the world, why?
OzIris had more force and airtime than expected. Goudurix was tolerable contrary to my expectations.
Looks better than Montu by far and looks like a very underrated ride
The positive Gs aren't as strong as Montu, but the ride flows better and the airtime moments are why I love it so much.
Agreed airtime over insanity
@@user-pw5ve2xc7t Except this ride has positive Gs too, just not as strong as Montu's.
The theming looks nice, but i think its not touching my homepark in black mamba
Black Mamba has better theming, but I much prefer this layout.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, the layout is nice, even tho i think airtime isnt a thing i wanna see on an invert
Contrary to my expectations, what means?
Different than what I expected.
Oziris is a long ride i was surprised
It does a lot!
I wonder why Banshee has the new trains and this one doesn’t.
I'm not complaining since these restraints are better for airtime.
Yes! I really hope Nemesis has the same trains after the rumored re-furb. That would be nice.
@@coasterkeychain6852 luckily the vest trains are bigger than the normal OTSR trains and cant go on a OTSR invert so nemesis cant get vests
That’s a relief
@@coasterkeychain6852 cp wanted raptor to get vests but then B&M said that the train wouldnt work on it
Do you by chance remember if this coaster had a big boy seat?
I do not remember, sorry.
I always heard that this is a family invert for some reason.
It ran really great for me.
Weird
never rode oziris but the pov for me makes montu look like mind eraser at Darien lake (no offense)
Montu and OzIris are way better than any SLC.
@@CanobieCoaster for real
i wish i could go to france one day and ride it
it would be my number one instantly
but i may go to islands of adventure and ride velocicoaster
Dueling dragons was my fave
That's a good one.
It looks like Alternate Universe Montu
Right down to the colors.
So make coaster channels right now
What do you mean?
@@CanobieCoaster I mean I like your channel and I wish I found it sooner. The amount of bullshit RUclips channels now makes it harder to find good ones. Because I follow gay eltororyan my recommended is full of coaster channels with less then 50 subs. It's gross
So nobody's gonna bring up that transition at 6:14?
I spent way too much time on that.
Ok I need to know how many credits you have lol
1033
I thought this was Montu at first.
They have a similar appearance.
it’s pretty much New B&M montu
In many ways, yes.
Jeez how does this dude travel so much like I honestly don’t even know if I believe him lol
I get to travel a lot for my job (vendors, conferences, suppliers, other company sites), but the Paris trip was for leisure specifically.
French Montu 😂
It's strikingly similar in theme and paint.
@@CanobieCoaster but not at all in the layout
I always see it and think its black mamba.
Both have great theming.
This Montu slander will not be tolerated
It's my third favorite invert and the best one for positive Gs.
Most underrated ride in the world?
Possibly!
OzIris it's very good but it's small compared Katun and black mamba in phantasialand it's very really above. I From a french next to Paris 😉
It may be smaller than Katun, but it's a better overall ride for me.
@@CanobieCoaster you are the only one to think that in all the Coaster fan fr everyone finds katun and back mamba more intense and better in the sensations proposed
OzIris is good but it's not a very big inverted like katun or black mamba for only them
banshee...
Not one of my favorite inverts, but the drop is great.
Eurostar was the best.soo forcefull
I still hope to ride that one someday.
Who considers nemesis one of the best b&m inverts?! Lol
I think a lot of people still do.
i like montu better
That's fair. That one is more forceful.
Oziris is overrated...
In Europa, Nemesis, Black mamba, The monster and katun are better than this
I love all the European inverts, but I do like this one best based on my tastes.
Would you like to go again to Parc Asterix?
Yes
