Since July, a new attraction has been popping up at Ermenonville' s famous Mer de sable family park: the Tiger Express! In the time of the Pioneers, a new inhabitant has just opened the biggest bazaar in the American West!
Mr. Tiger Lee, a Chinese immigrant, was for many years a skilled railroad construction worker. Courageous and hard-working, he eventually accumulated enough dollars to realize his dream... to open his own store. His commercial acumen enabled him to expand his business... and open the largest bazaar in the region.
TIGER EXPRESS has it all!!!Thanks to his genius and experience, he perfected a complex system of rail carts, enabling him to supply the entire country with goods with incredible speed and efficiency. These speeding wagons, perched on tall red columns, became famous, inspiring children to want to pilot them and experience the thrill of speed!
Do you dare to climb aboard these mischievous carts, perched over 15m high, as they hurtle down the 370m-long winding course? Thrills, laughter and thrills for all the family!
In addition, an Oasis has been open since June. Bedouins have set up camp in the heart of the Mer de Sable. Guests are welcomed into the warmth of an authentic Oriental restaurant, the Oasis, where they are served typical dishes combining the salty flavours of the main courses and the sweetness of the desserts. This "Feet in the Sand" lunchtime show will delight the whole family, thanks to the ventriloquism, magic and balloon sculpture acts orchestrated by the Prince of the Desert.
