ON 8TH APRIL 2023, THE INDOMITABLE GAULS RETURN TO BRING US A TRULY BREATHTAKING YEAR!

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. Kicking off on 8th April, visitors will once again be able to enjoy big thrills and brand new sensations with family and friends, all thanks to 50 attractions and shows across the park, including the launch of a new zone: Festival Toutatis. A new area dedicated to the God of the Gauls, Toutatis covers 3 hectares and offers an exceptional setting within the Gaul Zone. All our staff and characters are ready to provide visitors with even more excitement in this new season, which is sure to leave a mark on the history of Parc Asterix.

TOUTATIS, THE RECORD-BREAKING ROLLERCOASTER

An ode to excess! After more than two years of work carried out by the foremost specialists, the opening of the new Parc Astérix attraction is slated for 8th April 2023. The statistics alone are enough to make your head spin!!

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 airtimes* (a world record for a steel coaster). 3 coasters will take off, each made up of 5 carriages with a capacity of 4 passengers each  (20 seats).

The project of the new zone 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 programme and the scenery will all relate to this festive Gaulish atmosphere.

This new zone is perfect for the whole family. The attraction Chez Gyrofolix is a family attraction whose hypnotic movement 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.

The Parade of Gauls will also return with the majestic carriage of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra's grandiose float complete with courtesans and, not forgetting, a float filled with Indomitable Gauls.
