Posted April 18, 201114 yr comment_113721 Again I find myself following an European park building a brand new B&M, so let's have a topic about the park and ride...I visited the park for the first time last year, and throughly enjoyed the rides and atmosphere, with the classy Tonnerre de Zeus being backed up by Goudrix (not as bad as people say) in the current big coaster stakes, and some excellent theming and rides dotted around the park...See my TR in the link below for some pics...http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/7404-paris-parc-asterix-et-piscines/And next year, a B&M Inverted will arrive...http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-430.html#p33432Hopefully this new one will keep the same level of theming as the rest of the park and really help imprint the park onto the local map...
April 19, 201114 yr comment_113761 I went to teh park yesterday and it was INSANE, so much fun with theming that spits in the face of thorpe park. Zeus was really good, I didnt realise how huge it was until I got up the lifthill. Goudrix was incredibly painful, we did wonder why it was walk on lol. Both log flumes had amazing theming and special effects. Oxegenarium was is much fun, even my mum went on it. So much better than Storm Surge haha.I got on everything I wanted to so I was pretty happy, shame I didnt visit a year after, when the inverted one would be there
August 5, 201114 yr Author comment_120950 Hmmm, forgot about this topic, oh well... Who wants sexy B&M pics?Of course, since TPM seems to HATE the links from PotionMagix, here's the link to their construction page... http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-990.htmlLooks different and brilliant... Bear in mind that the first drop is before the Dive Loop.
August 5, 201114 yr comment_120951 European Montu looks lovely, adore its colours. Dark blue and yellow go so well. I personally think they should open it like that, would certainly add a gimmick to the ride..
August 6, 201114 yr Author comment_120988 Loop completed... Trim spotted... Chaos ensues...http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-1010.htmlHonestly though, they're really soldiering on with the construction of this... Maybe they've stolen a bit of Asterix's potion?
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121017 Does anyone know what (if it even has one) the theme of the ride is going to be?
August 7, 201114 yr comment_121022 It's going to be Egyptian esque, hence why I call it European Montu.
August 7, 201114 yr Author comment_121034 Looking better and better everytime I see pics...More here - http://www.centralpark-fr.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=13295#p13295
August 8, 201114 yr comment_121042 Very very nice. I like how tight the layout looks so far. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be quite front loaded and then has a crap ending.
August 14, 201114 yr Author comment_121362 Latest update...http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/topic1271-1060.htmlNot the first half is complete, tunnel being built, zero-g next to the station... Looking pretty epic so far...
August 14, 201114 yr comment_121398 I can't believe how spoilt we are next year. This really is looking great.
August 14, 201114 yr comment_121399 I think all of the parks are just spending their last cash reserves seeing as the world is going to end...
August 23, 201114 yr Author comment_121997 MOAR!http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/gallery/image.php?image_id=9818http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/gallery/image.php?image_id=9758http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/gallery/image.php?image_id=9768http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/gallery/image.php?image_id=9774http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/gallery/image.php?image_id=9802God this looks good... Shame I can't link the pics on here directly
August 23, 201114 yr comment_121999 Ah this looks so amazing! I shall have to revisit the park in years to come
August 23, 201114 yr comment_122004 Wow, it looks like they are actually putting in that underwater tunnel! Plus that first segment with the dive loop, overbank, vertical loop and immelmann loop looks amazing :DAlso, Potion Magix is a really cool name for a fan site. I hereby petition the admins to change TPM to The Wicked Witch's Cauldron or something!
August 30, 201114 yr Author comment_122343 http://www.potionmagix.fr/forumix/nouvelle-zone-attraction-2012-parc-asterix-t1271-1150.htmlIt would appear the layout is finished... Now for the theming, which if the rest is the park is any indication, should be suitably awesome...
September 7, 201114 yr comment_122908 A train, how useful!Do you think B&M have ever delivered the wrong train, like a floorless train arriving for a B&M inverter layout.Just saying, we get mispicks at work quite frequently
September 7, 201114 yr comment_122910 Wingrider train on a layout with tunnels could get... Interesting

October 17, 201113 yr comment_125056 I'm saving my OH MY GODS until I eventually ride it. I have a feeling, like Katun, that off-ride and on-ride videos aren't going to do the ride much justice. It looks way to atypical B&M in that video, whereas knowing the layout, its nothing like a typical inverter.
