As a French dude, I’m very happy that the park is getting the attention it deserves for once! 🇫🇷
I still can't believe the comic got its own theme park
Hi French dude
The reason the starflyer isn’t bigger is because the park actually has a 50-ish meters height limit because of the nearby airport.
No it's not ! The rumor has been denied. It is due to a contract dating from the construction of the park
@tibotracks Ah oui c’est vrai 😅 bon ça reste une limite hein
mdr@@Sauci55on
@@tibotracks really? im pretty sure they said nothing could be taller than the boulder asterix sits on
I am spoiled because my home park is Phantasialand. The only other park I did not want to leave was Parc Astérix. It is marvelous!
Disneyland Paris used to be my home park but I would always choose to go to Parc Astérix over Disney.
By the way, you lucky bastard you have Phantasialand as you home park, I would kill to visit it.
I even made my home park my work place, haha. But hey, having Disneyland and Parc Astérix around the corner is really not the worst fate.@@yapod9061
There is a reason why this park don’t have any attraction really high. I learned through a documentary that because of the airport that is nearby, the park isn’t allowed to build anything higher than 50 meters. (Yes, the spike of Toutatis is 51 meters, but they actually dig in the ground in order to « bypass » this rule). Considering this limitation I think they’re doing pretty well ! Anyway, love this park, love Toutatis, and thank you for showing to the world my favorite park (probably because it’s the closest to my home… but still a very good one !)
did not know that- definitely an interesting fact that makes a lot of sense!
No it's not because of the airport, the rumor has been denied. It's due to a document from the construction of the park.
@@tibotracks And other limitation come from the woods around the park, they can't disturb too much the local wildlife
@@rootoz Yes indeed
This park is just flipping awesome
You should REALLY try the log flume next time, it’s really awesome and quite terrifying in some sections as the water level gets pretty high and there are some rapids. Matt would definitely love it!
I remember doing that when I was a kid. I went on it at the end of the day and the queue was walk on
I see you everywhere bro
Last time was by EDB's I think
Oui je suis souvent chez EDB, Twitch compris 🤣 mais aussi sur pas mal de chaînes de coaster et d’autres trucs, c’est pour ça
I remember reading a lot of the Asterisk comics when I was younger and loved it ~~ no doubt in my mind that this park will only make me
Love the series even more ~
What's your favorite Asterix book 📖
Sucks that "le défi de César", water infiltration really destroyed one of the most impressive preshows, it was genuinely insane, now just a disfonctinal mad house, but this used to be a wonderful experience
So glad this is my home park! I enjoy every visit here
I was introduced to the Asterix universe in the early 90s in the UK, due to a Sega Master System game that became one of my favourites for a little while. I then went on to read some comics and play other games. So when I first visited Parc Asterix in 2020, I really enjoyed it. It's a great little park, and the quality of the theming really was surprising to me.
Went here last July, and can confidently say that this is a top 5 best theme park in Europe. So well detailed and so incredibly organised. Not to mention that the coasters here are awesome, except Goudurix which was death.
Love this place so much
I love the goofy cartoony visuals of the architecture, it really makes everything feel unreal in a good way. It's just so appealing to look at, like nothing else I've seen in any other park.
As far as the sheep are concerned, it's because the park mows all these lawns with them. They regularly change places and are sometimes underneath Pégase Express or la Trace Du Hourra, for example. 😉
And if there isn't a Screaming Swing, Drop Tower, etc it's because the park is limited in height, they can't build more than about 50 m high (that's why Toutatis has a trench).
didn't realize there was a height limit- but theres still a way to add those type of attractions that stay within that height requirement!
Thank you for giving some attention to this park ! I've been there during their last winter season, the park was really beautifuly themed and we have a perfect day. That was my first time with Toutatis... and whaou ! I'm definitely gonna go there more often because this park deserve it.
Glad to see you have discovered who Asterix and Obelix are since your first visit. Probably gave more context to the theming.
Speaking of which, I am amazed at how detailed the theming of this park is. It is very impressive!
Have your viewers ever pointed out that the ride is called "tonnerre de Zeus" (the 2 is pronounced "de" for deux, in French)?
Thanks for another quality video!
Great park. Visited last year because of Toutatis' launch. We rode the train out from downtown Paris and hopped the bus from CDG. It took a bit over an hour. While not as convenient as some other parks to get to, it wasn't horrible. A train station at the park would be a big help. Definitely a park to visit while in Europe.
they cannot create a station because the park is surrounded by a forest protected by natura 2000 (a legislation) 😉
I actually went there on my 30th birthday last year in July and holy moly this park is just amazing. We slept in one of the hotels and it was pretty nice. Especially getting in a little bit earlier. Highly recommend going there 🎉
It was such a blast with my friends as a school trip
Hi ! Im french. Love your channel ♡ you have a new follower right now ! we have already french park riders and you tubers who are making lot of vids about parks here but i love the way you are getting attention to differents parks in the world and not only US ones, so you are making a great quality work ! US parks are so huge, fun and historicals ! But thank you to take attention of what we are doing in Europe and in my country France too ♡ ! Yes parc Asterix is one of my 3 favorites french parks with Nigloland and Walibi Rhone Alpes ! But it have lot and lot of good amusement parks in France...because our territory is big for a European guy... 😅 although thank you ! Merci ♡
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate it! We have many French roller coaster and park videos on our channel and still plenty more on the way :)
Love this comment! Merci beaucoup! My French is terrible but it’s a delight to read these comments (even with terrible translation from RUclips). If you ever get the chance, visit Carowinds. That’s my home park. The theming is much worse but the rides are incredible!
I love the live action Asterix movies, they're hilarious!
My favorite is Mission Cleopatra! :D
@@barusshka92 yep, don't check the other ones ...
When I visited, the grazing sheep were below Pégase Express. I'm guessing they move them around from ride to ride, they were fun to see from the coaster.
There is actually a spectacular preshow to the madhouse, with which the park contiously seems to be struggling. When I went the full ride was working and it was awesome!
In your video you only basically entered and exited thru the exit. I'm sure there are POV's out there if you're curious.
And there's no ride in Parc Asterix named 'Revenge of the pirates', and I doubt they existed back then... 😉
Loved it. Great theming. Hotels are incredible too.
The coaster collection here is just amazing because they have something for everyone. Its no CP but nobody will get bored here.
The best park I have been to so far. We had the unlimited Filotomatix. That made it an awesome day. We got to ride Toutatis 10 times, Oziris 6 times. And we still had plenty of time to drink some beers, eat and do all the other attractions in the park. And the theming is on point all over the park. 😄👍
As an Englishman with a mistrust of everything French I always wanted to go to parc asterisk as a kid because I loved the books....asterix is definitely the greatest French man
Im binging all your France vids rn because these parcs are all my childhood! Short story for this one, when i was in primary school, we hosted an exchange with a German school, and when our German penpals came over, we had explicit interdiction of taking them to Disneyland because the price point might be discriminatory to some families (when a two day pass was around 70 euros...that was before 2008!). Me and my penpal ended up spending a very wet day at Asterix, but in the end, maybe we experienced the better park of the two ;)
BlaBla Cars operates a Bus Line from Paris Bercy (central of paris) to Parc Asterix 😉
I've just bought tickets to go there next may, it's going to be my daughter's first time ridding thrilling rides like these. I can't wait for it
did you get here already?
@@Arleq1 We went on may 7, it was incredible. I bought the cheapest filotomatix and worth it
This park looks so good and clean but I cannot visited just yet but toutatis looks very good and also oziris looks to be a top tier bnm inverted coaster
the way obèlix splits his but cheeks out on the carousel 💀
Went there once with my parents and going back with some of my friends in may for my birthday and im so excited to be back
I did go 2 days when I went and we stayed at the little cabins, it was amazing
went in 2022, sad toutatis wasnt open, loved the park though, and their tivoli somehow valleyed that day and was shut as a result too
It's a very nice park. Visited it last summer over two days. The first day it was pleasantly crowded, but the second day there was even a long queue for one of the ice cream stands, but still got to do loads. The 3d cinema is also quite nice and so is the stunt show was fun to watch. They are one of the few offerings that let you sit down for a while. Which brings me to what the park is missing in my eyes, about two major dark rides. I would also replace Gouderix with a modern Vekoma looper (Lech style) and SOS numerobis with a modern kids coaster as well.
As for hotels, if you are by car there is an area very near the park with a lot of affordable hotels close to the highway.
Coolest up and coming park.
I visited the park in 2021 for the first time for 2 days and stayed in one of the hotel areas. Back then Filotomatix was apparently included and exclusive for hotel goers. A pleasent surprise and so many hours of queues skipped with this feature. A shame it's now paid only and no longer included in hotel visits
I'm from Costa Rica and went there in 2019 instead of Disney and what a great day I had, it was just super fun! I can't wait to go back
I love this park but I went on the busiest day of the year and did not have a good time 😅 every single queue was spilling into the pathways
Same for me. It's almost off-putting to hear Taylor's experience after my wife and I had ours last month. We spent 90 minutes waiting on the queue for Toutatis and 60 minutes just for that pizza.
I am sure I was just unlucky, but spending a lot more money with Filotomatix was mandatory.
I've been trying to decide between this park, Disney Paris, or Thorpe Park to spend a single day at before the beginning of the ACE Central Europe group trip in July, so this review is very well timed! Parc Asterix definitely looks better than Thorpe Park, so far.
We watched Asterix chez les Bretons in French class un school!
I’m going on sunday on a school trip 😍
Great park with flawless theming you can easily enjoy even without knowledge about Asterix. But if you really know a little more about all the characters and their dynamics, it becomes far more enjoyable. Asterix is really popular in Europe, not just France. I am not sure about the younger generation outside France, but as a non-French older guy I still get a lot of the references and you can find them really everywhere.
Yeah. You hear less about them around my neck of the woods in Denmark at least since most entertainment is now centered on American properties but even just a decade ago Asterix cartoons and comics were immensely popular.
I normally don't care much for France but this makes it so good, this looks like a really good park.
it is but try to come on a relative quite day this park is always packed.
What a really weird thing to say. Seems like you care more than you want to admit hehe
@@Misterjingle I normally don't like France but this park kind of changes things.
@@maxhagenauer24 I don't understand how people cannot like any country actually. I just enjoying every part of the world. Come drink a beer in sunny south of France, with the Alps in one side, the Med sea in the other side, I'm sure you'll love it
@@Misterjingle Alright, I will do that and also want to visit every country. Imma try north korea first and see how that goes.
1:43 Are those things self-powered or automatic?
How do you know if the fireworks are on? Is there a schedule?
Besides more large flat rides, what else do you feel they need?
A good dark ride!
There used to be a nice ghost train type dark ride, it was really cool but it’s completely gone now ( RIP le Transdé 🥲)
@@CoasterStudios Yes they actualy have non at least not a decent one. Cause i can't remember any.
The park should re-track Goudurix, just like Efteling did with Python. The same layout with modern profiling, the 7 inversions and new trains could be a sollid ride!
According to Parc Asterix's master plan, the viking land (including Goudurix) might be restructured somewhere during the 2028-2031 phase.
I speculate that 2029, being Goudurix 40th anniversary, might also be its last exploitation year before a complete replacement with a modern model like the Vekoma Bermuda Blitz for instance.
That way, they could build a well packed and themed land like Toutatis, including a restaurant, a souvenir shop, etc.
That said, I hope a 'Goudurix 2' would keep its old brother dna with a multi inversions layout and strong Gs.
at Saint Witz 5 mins from the park there are at least 6 hotels, plus restaurants
The first time I saw Goudurix it was on a special feature of the first series of BBC’s Merlin and that was rough judging from the Vlog POV.
Its a pretty shitty coaster i would love it if they replaced it with a new style vekoma.
they should redo goudurix's track and make the drop actually steep because it doesn't feel like much
Also the ride you said was called "the revenge of the pirates" is "le grand splalsh" which translates to "the big splash"
Looks Amazing Is It Better Then Phnatasialand Or Europa Park Though?
In my opnion not though it ranks around nr 4 of good european parks in my book. I prefer it over Disneyland and port adventura (well if they ever get good operations there it will be better then asterix). But i prefer efteling, europapark and phantasialand. Haven't done escape from gotham in warner spain so if thats as good as they say i might say that park might be on par with astrix but the theming and look and feel of astrix is pretty damm good.
Are there any other parks that have that baggage holding area? I rented a car recently because I was unsure if SFOT had one.
Most parks in europe have them or have really big lockers near the entrance. Not sure of phantasialand cause thats just an hour and half away from me so i always go by car and use the back entrance.
6:30 goudurix is litterrally the best coaster out there
Aka:
The park that's either crowded or closed.
‘Ancient Greek-themed’ section, but with 19th century churches and architecture from the Cyclades. Not ancient at all in theme, but it looks good! 😅 I appove of the Knossos-inspired architecture from Crete though. That is certainly ancient.
Whenever you said cdg i thought you were talking about the fashion brand for some reason 😭 Comme Des Garcons
At the 8:15 mark it looked more like a corque monsieur.
oui
that giant head the narator called julies Caesar.... isnt Julius, was bald.
That giant head clearly does not depict the Asterix version of Caesar. (By the way, we don't really know how the real Caesar was portrayed in marble, there is no confirmed bust, only coins.) It looks a bit like Michelangelo's David.
No dark rides?
Prob cause it’s based on a children’s comic book
There is nothing a cig on a rapids ride @8:03
"Easily one of"
Wouldn't French Montu be Monteaux?😂😂😂
I love Asterix but the site to book os really hard to navigate in English
goudurix is underrated
Parc Asterix may very well have the best coaster lineup in the World definitely a top 10 contender
You know Gaul isn't a fictional place right man? 😅
Demolish Goudurix and reuse footers to build a Vekoma Bermuda Blitz!
oooo yessssssss.
Great review but should we really be promoting skip the line money making schemes?
People seem so ignorant to the fact that by paying up for this bribery, you're reducing the capacity for everybody else.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to pay more, and if they were, the parks would then only tag ANOTHER higher level of queue jumping system on top of that. It's a pit of greed and something we shouldn't be advocating people to support.
That may be true, but the reality is the park is overcrowded and by getting the filetomatix you are drastically improving your own personal experience at the park
@@CoasterStudios again... At the expense of others.
Why can't we just ask collectively come together and stand up to the parks for our greater good?
If the parks overcrowded then they either need to expand and add more attractions or limit the amount of tickets they sell in aid of guest experience.
Your argument about improving your experience doesn't stand up, even if everyone COULD pay for it, you'd be in exactly the same boat. Queue jumping through bribery is not the answer
@@AndyKennedy chill out calling it bribery they are just trying to help enthusiasts who want to get on the rides it doesnt drastically increase the queue times anyway. dont attack them for it they are just advocating for peopl to have the best day no bribery calm down
@@t-a-r-o-n_on_top it's bribery, would you tolerate it in a supermarket? Some one with more money than you paying extra to jump in front at the check out? You probably wouldn't.
And if you want me to find some data on how much it inflates the queue lines then I'll try to, believe me from experience, when fast track is over sold it makes the normal queue unbearable, I've experienced it at universal studios and Thorpe park in the UK, ended up letting 2/3 fast track on to 1/3 standard queue and they moved so slowly whilst watching more and more people jump right in front of you makes the whole experience miserable
I used to bounce between astérix and disney when I was younger, but yeah now that they've destroyed Rock n' rollercoaster (among other things) and toutatis opened, I probably won't come back to disney until they open star wars land or something, especially with their ever-increasing pricing...
I wish they tore down that vekoma and replace it with a new gen vekoma. Its the only thing thats bad in the park. And i agree with you best park in france skipp disney a go here if you have to choose.
Do you really not understand why the sheep are there or are you just playing stupid to get people to react?
