Rumour says here for a long time that CDA has nought 3 coaster to Mack Rides: 1 for Walibi Holland, 1 for Walibi Belgium, and the last one for Parc Astérix. So with the boss of the park saying that a new coaster is coming in 2017, this makes even more sense.

Fairly boring flats, but if they turn out like the concepts they will look good. The disko will certainly look better than the new one at Legoland

Asterix do lack flats (5 'adult' flats, even if one of them is the amazing Hydra), these will be good additions to the park as a result...
Now they just need to add a high quality coaster, high quality dark ride (where the random empty area in the Victorian indoor area is) and replace the crapids with a high quality rapids ride and they'll be really set...

*cough* Oziris.
*cough* Transdémonium.
*cough* Defi du Cesar
Where are these new flats going though - will they have to remove anything to fit them in?

Ok, but apart from that, what have the Romans ever done for us?*cough* Defi du Cesar

The Disko 'arch' is literally going over the pathway that leads to Zeus, the concept art shows the station in the background (though not on the one posted on here)...
No idea where the Top Spin is going though, maybe just off the corner of OzIris...

Slight topic bump, however Asterix have confirmed the Disko for next year. Though sadly there seems to be no mention of the top spin, which was evidently the better ride of the two!
And in a further update, there seems to be some new info posted on the coaster, now being referred to as #pegasusproject! Unlike we first thought, Wonder World Web has posted today, stating the coaster will be a family experience with both forwards and backwards sections and launches. It would appear Parc Asterix are looking at working with Gerstlauer on a coaster similar to the highly popular Fire Chaser Express at Dollywood.
Images aren't the best quality, but here's a couple of concepts.

It appears that the park are expanding once again, with the coaster appearing to be on new land to the back of the flying carpet ride, meaning the Greek area will get two rides in two seasons. Fingers crossed this will mean Zeus will feel less out on a limb.
As for the coaster being more family focused, I think that is ideal. As much as a Mack thrill machine would be great, Asterix is in need of a family coaster more after the arrival of Oz Iris. Look forward to seeing this progress.

Bumping this old topic!
It seems to new ride is now open "Discobelix" and it actually looks well themed. Here are a couple of photos from their FB page:

Very nice indeed! Is that a water effect I see there too!? I've never really followed Parc Asterix but from their latest updates over the last few years it looks like a very nice park which is on the up!

Really. I think Mia's Riding Adventure looks better.
