We tested the new Pegasus Express attraction at Parc Astérix!

Pegase Express is Parc Asterix's new flagship attraction for 2017. As of June 11, we'll be opening the brand-new Grand 8, the biggest construction project since Oziris. A huge 16 million euro project, it's the park's second biggest investment since it opened.

This attraction is designed for young and old alike, as it is accessible to children from 1 metre upwards. It takes us on a high-speed journey aboard an Ancient Greek train. The scenography plunges you into the world of comics, but with a humorous nod to Asterix. And of course, it's mythology revisited in a wacky Gaulish style.

According to legend, Zeus decided to change Pegasus into a constellation so that he would remain forever in the sky he had traveled so far. It's with him that visitors have the chance to make this mythical, and somewhat eventful, journey.

Pegasus Epress takes you on a journey that's full of twists and turns, because it won't go quite as planned. During the journey, after some impressive twists and turns, climbs and descents, you'll enter the temple of Medusa after passing through a monumental sign. And as you know, never look Medusa in the face, or you'll be petrified.

How to escape Medusa? Put it in reverse, of course!

Pegase Express stretches for almost a kilometer along the Greek zone, a stone's throw from the Trojan Horse attraction, the theme park's "flying carpet", and the Romus and Rapidus attraction, which it overhangs 2 times. You will be projected at a maximum speed of 52 km/h for a duration of 3 minutes.

This Saturday, June 10, we were able to discover this new attraction in the presence of Jamel Debouzze, who came with his family and the children of Jamel Codemy Kids, for the inauguration of the famous sensational coaster. A magical show and bird and falcon flies were the order of the day.

Discover the coaster in pictures, as if you were there:

Built by German roller coaster specialists Gerstlauer, the new attraction represents an investment of around 15 million euros.

In short, after last year's new shows, Idéfix's Forest and Discobélix, Parc Astérix continues to innovate, much to our delight. And with the Hôtel des trois Hibous expanding by 50 additional rooms, and 2 bonus hotels planned for 2018 and 2019, there's no end to the fun!
