Themepark Tour 2021 - Part 6

Parc Asterix

Friday - August 13th 2021

Today we wanted to make sure to get the most out of our time, so we purchased the so called Filotomatix ticket, which allowed us to skip the lines of all major attractions. Although the ticket was expensive, it was worth it, because like yesterday the park got very crowded again. Right after breakfast we headed to the park. Hotel guests were allowed to enter half an hour earlier than the regular visitors. Our first attraction was the family coaster Pégase Express followed by a lovely boat ride. Then it was finally time for Tonnerre De Zeus, Parc Asterix' wooden coaster. The line was already quite long and so used Filotomatix for the first time. Tonnerre De Zeus was a lot of fun and pumped with adrenalin we headed to the next big rollercoaster. On the way we came across a kiddie coaster with no line and so we gave it a try.

Over in Egypt we walked straight to OzIris, our second big coaster today. A fun ride later we decided to take a break and get a coffee. Parc Asterix is also home to a very special attraction called L'Aerolaf, a bar in the sky. Of course we had to do that. So we bought our drinks and then we were lifted into the sky. From above we had a fantastic view over the themepark. After we enjoyed our drinks it was time for the next rollercoaster, Goudurix. Unfortunately that coaster was very painful and not really enjoyable. Since it was already noon, we decided to have lunch at the same restaurant like yesterday. On the way to the restaurant we came across another water ride called Oxygenarium. We had a Filotomatix for it and so we got in line. It was okay, but nothing special.

Now it was finally time for lunch and like yesterday we got the vegan quinoa patty with fries. Since we were in France we ordered a small bottle of wine as well. A relaxing lunch later we did Numerobis, a small coaster in Egypt, followed by La Trace Du Hourra, another roller coaster. In the afternoon it got really hot and so we used our Filotomatix tickets for the water rides. Parc Asterix offered three water rides, Menhir Express, Le Grand Splatch and Romus er Rapidus. The first two rides were rather tame, but the last one, Romus et Rapidus, was pretty wild. However, before we got soaked at Romus et Rapidus, we got ice cream and strolled through the shops for souvenirs. We had one Filotomatix ticket left for Pegase Express and despite being so wet, we joined the ride before returning to the hotel. Back at the hotel we changed our we clothes and then we got a couple of drinks and a pretzel for dinner. The rest of the evening we spent at the hotel bar reminiszing about the fantastic time we had at Parc Asterix. We will definitely return to this amazing theme park.
