Parc Astérix: General Discussion

[venny]

The park can get really busy whilst schools are off. If you can visit whilst schools are in, I’d strongly recommend it.

Be warned, they often have closed days during the week in Sep/Oct so bear that in mind when planning your trip.

It is fairly straightforward to get to the park via public transport from the Disneyland Paris area? Thinking of Phantasialand to Europa to Disneyland (plus Paris) trip next august. Will be using the train between each location and flying into Germany and then back from Paris.

Also would it be recommended to stay over in one their onsite hotels and do two days as don’t have option of not going in school holidays.

Plan onsite at phantasialand and Europa park and offsite at Disneyland Paris.

I’d recommend the hotels, although they’re not cheap. They offer a morning ERT and a third day ticket for €5. You also get 10% off merch.

I know there’s a bus for CDG to the park several times a day and there’s obviously also a bus from DLP to CDG, if that helps.

Thanks that’s great, I can get the train easily enough to CDG so can get the bus from there. Just waiting for Europa to release hotel booking for next year and then will book what need to, will work out then if can stay on site at Asterix within my budget.

Christ. 3 days there? I mean, it's lovely and all but... nope.

I do rather like the design.

Cracking. Really think this will balance out the line up at Parc Astérix. The park has changed and improved immeasurably in the 20 years I have been visiting. It's always had its unique humour and themed areas, entertainment and so on - but now it really is a top tier park with great rides, great hours, operations and some hotels too.

Up until the addition of, I would say, Pégase Express - the park was just shy of the absolute top level. Now it's definitely in and about that spot.

I'm a big fan of the train design. The coat of arms on the front looks really really good and the way it flows through the rest of the train is excellent. Very well done Intamin.

In France they call it a Pantheon with themeing

Cannot wait to be strapped into the front row of that at night.

According to reports it seems the new coaster is expected to open on 8th April.

Easter Holidays will be busy then if true. Definitely want to get out and ride this bad boy. Haven't been to this park in a long long time.
