Beginning on April 8 2023, visitors to Parc Astérix will be able to explore a new themed area, Festival Toutatis, including the fastest roller coaster in France.

The new area is dedicated to the God of the Gauls, and covers 3 hectares within the park. Toutatis is the result of the largest investment ever made by Parc Astérix (€36 million).

After more than two years of work, the opening of the new attraction at Parc Astérix is slated for April 8 2023. The statistics alone are enough to make your head spin!

Toutatis

Brave visitors will embark on a sensational journey during which they will experience no fewer than 7 forward and reverse accelerations, up to a maximum speed of 110km/h (a French record). On more than 1300m of circuit, they will also cross a total of 32 special features, including a 51m high vertical boom, a 101° inclined drop, 3 inversions, and will experience 23 moments of airtime (a world record for a steel coaster). 3 trains will take off, each made up of 5 carriages with a capacity of 4 passengers each (20 seats).

Festival Toutatis

The new themed area is in keeping with the spirit of a Gaulish Festival in the middle of the Carnutes Forest where the tribes of Gaul come to celebrate their God Toutatis. The elements of the theming will all relate to this festive Gaulish atmosphere.

This new area is perfect for the whole family. The second ride Chez Gyrofolix is a Zamperla Nebulaz family attraction with a hypnotic movement that will delight both young and old - with its 4 arms that rotate in orbit, visitors will fly high above the peaks. For Little Gauls, the Sanglier d’Or play area is located at the entrance to the zone. With its many attractions and giant boar, this will be the largest play area in the park.

Following on from the astonishing success of 2022, with 2.6 million visitors through the doors, Parc Astérix is pulling out all the stops to bring us a truly record-breaking 2023.
