Parc Astérix: General Discussion

AstroDan said:
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.

I second @AstroDan here after a recent trip.

The website has been worded/translated incorrectly and the last bus leaves an hour after park closing time. I think they may have meant return journeys start from half an hour before close?

I checked the signage at the bus stop to make sure I didn't miss that last bus.

Parc Asterix is a very easy park to get to by public transport as you wouldn't need to leave Charles De Gaulle Airport (apart from the park) to get there.
 
Visited Parc Asterix today and managed to get on their new Cétautomatix coaster! It's got some lovely theming, smooth, quirky and just good family fun :) I'd be surprised if it made anyone's Top 10 but worth a ride all the same. Tonnerre 2 Zeus however has just beaten Energylandias Viking for coasters that require the most intense physical therapy after riding. Please do not ride if you have osteoporosis, travel sickness or a hernia 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Oh, that Toutatis is a bit of alright isn't it?

I can imagine that this will include the 1am close nights.

Genuinely curious, how did you find Goudurix in comparison to Tonnerre 2 Zeus? I thought Goudurix was 10x worse but some people find Zeus worse.
 
I was surprised by how rough Tonnerre 2 Zeus was when I visited recently. The Timberline trains are meant to make coasters smoother, by functioning more like a modern steel coaster train:

But it doesn't seem to be working. The Voyage switched to Timberline trains to try and make the ride smoother and lower maintenance, but they've switched back to the PTC trains. When I rode Zeus a few weeks ago it certainly didn't feel like a ride that had been recently re-tracked.

T2Z far surpassed anything I've ridden for discomfort so far 😂 that isn't to say Goudrix isn't also horrid!

I really didn't like the trains/restraint system. They were pretty cool... and then the ride started 😂
 
I don't think The Voyage ever operated for the public with Timberliners.

Think for me the Timberliners seem to work well on the family coasters (Switchback, Wood Express, Kentucky Flyer, Timber) than they do on high thrill coasters (Tonnere 2 Zeus, Hades 360).

Does it still have the backwards end car? That required a lie down after riding it.
