Parc Astérix: General Discussion

Hey,
I'll spend a day in Parc Asterix with Filotomatix and I'm wondering how it works when inside.
- When I first enter the park do we have to go somewhere in the park to activate it? Or can we just login in the app using the purchase's email and it's good to go?
- In each ride we join the queue through the app and then go to the ride's filotomatix entrance, but how does it work then? Will we receive some code in the app to show an employee there?
 
You just need to be logged into the filomatix, don't need to go anywhere to activate it.

When the countdown reaches zero you'll get a barcode that the staff member at the filomatix queue entry will scan. Just be aware that they do time out so ensure if you're queuing for another ride whilst virtual queueing that you should be able to get onto that ride then make it to the next ride on time.
 
I am not sure whether it has been said in this thread or not, but the new family coaster that Asterix are getting next year is a Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster. The concept art is as follows:

The ride vehicles will be themed to spinning chariots. I am not a huge fan of Gerst Spinners, the ones I have ridden are not as good as their Maurer equivalents. But such a family coaster will be a welcome addition to the park.

I've only done one Gesrt spinner (Galaxy Orbiter), but it was by far the best spinner I've ever done. We both sat on the same side with empty seats opposite us, and spun like a waltzer, it was epic! 🤣
 
Hey everyone. Sorry to ask a more general question when you're discussing the new coaster.

I'm looking into visiting Parc Asterix in October and notice that the park is only open during the school holidays/Halloween period that month. Does anyone with experience of the park know how busy it gets and whether it's worth waiting for the new season so I can go on a school day to avoid crowds?
 
Visited Asterix yesterday, ok it was day 4 of the 2025 season but I think it gave Merlin a run for opening weekend reliability…. For the cost of the trip hotel etc really didn’t seem worth the money for what was a 10-19:00 park day. Everywhere we went we were met with breakdown after breakdown.
 
Few bits of news from Asterix:

1) There’s been a few problems with the new Gerstlauer spinner which should have opened this week but has been pushed back until the start of the summer holidays (so July):

2) The owners are ploughing yet more money into the resort (as announced in their latest financial results today) - confirming another 300-room hotel, an extension to the Greek area of the park and a redevelopment of the area where Transdemonium used to operate:

I’m looking to go to Parc Asterix at the end of the Summer, and public transport options look pretty limited? I see the last shuttle back to CDG is half an hour before park close. Does anyone know of alternative ways to get to/from the park? Thanks.
 
The shuttle bus to CDG has always been really good in the past. They put loads of buses on, they’re really regular, and on days where the park is closing at 6 or 7pm I’ve always know them run till well after park closing. I don’t know about late openings, but if the park is open 10-10, does it really matter if you have to leave half an hour before closing?

This is incorrect and I assume is lost in translation.

Buses operate from Roissypole (Charles de Gaulle) from 9am in the morning and they run back from Astérix until the last one leaves one hour after ride close. Should you be later than this, or wish to go to the hotel(s) after the park closes for a drink - Uber will pick up at the park or hotels and is usually reasonably priced given the distance.
