Tonnerre 2 Zeus has now been officially inaugurated by the Director General of Parc Astérix Delphine Pons and French actor and humorist Arnaud Ducret.

The original roller coaster, Tonnerre de Zeus, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and has been renovated, enhanced and renamed.

The Gravity Group has transformed the attraction, with changes to the track, a tunnel added and new trains.

Tonnerre de Zeus, the French for 'Thunder of Zeus', was originally built by Customer Coasters International with trains from Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters and opened in 1997.
