KingRCT3 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I've re-read the last ten pages and I didn't saw that thing mentioned.. In my opinion the best detail ever. (Picture from CoastersWorld.fr) The sign says "Out of order"... TOT inside!
KingRCT3 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Double post, sorry, but this one is not about Oziris. Here's my POV of Goudurix, also known as one of the worst coaster ever!
flex Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Check out my pics from my visit on friday, 13th april :
matteocrepaldi Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Great photos! I totally can't wait to ride this in May! How is Oz-Iris as far as queue time?
flex Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Great photos! I totally can't wait to ride this in May!How is Oz-Iris as far as queue time? Thank you ! Oziris queue time was from 0 to 5 minutes, due to the 2 trains operation. This friday was just before the holidays start. Some other rides, such as Tonnerre de Zeus were running with one train only and had a 15/20 minutes wait.
cfc Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 It looks like a solid invert--the theming is a definite plus.
flex Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 It is. I have been on many B&M inverts on the planet, and this one is definitively one of my personnal favourites, along with Montu & Katun.
Noxegon Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Rode it today. The bar has most definitely been raised. The ride is brilliant and beautifully themed. It may be my new favourite inverted coaster. Proper old school B&M.
coasterlover420 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I love how they (for the most part) buried the footers. It makes the theme much more well-rounded without awkward gray boxes in the sand.
galahad Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Just gorge! Can't wait to ride... If it is comparable to an old school invert even the better...
nander Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) KingRCT3: Don't mess with Goudurix, it's an awesome coaster. If you can't stand 2G laterals in a vekoma train, don't run it, but it IS a very nice and fast vekoma with lots of unique elements. The trick is to find the way to sit right in Goudurix.. One of the worst coasters ever? It outperforms quite a lot of coasters in my opinion, just by it's track design.. And: I really enjoy the laterals.. Oz'Iris is the best coaster of the park, period. Tonnere is the second one - period. Goudurix is third in my opinion, trace de hourra 4th, vol d'icare 5th, rest doesn't matter . Edited April 30, 2012 by nander
A.J. Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Y'know, I think the ride would be one million times better if "take the tunnel" was written in hieroglyphics over the entrance to the tunnel under the temple. Or whatever the French equivalent is.
DJeXeL Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 It must be an awesome feeling for the park's themeing design team when it's all said and done and they can sit back and watch the guests having a great time and admiring your work. Right behind Black Mamba, this has to be the most heavily themed invert. Amazing job. Too bad I'll never make it to this park.
nander Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Well, last monday a train stalled on the lift around 15:00 and it didn't reopen that day.. You'll never end up here? It has a brilliant woodie AND now a brilliant inverted coaster as well.. Don't underestimate tonnere de zeus, it's pretty much impossible to overestimate that track . Here some random parc asterix images The images link to 12 MPx versions of the same images.. License: Chicken Dance Public License OR CC-BY-SA.. Nice theming.. Nice overbanked! There's something on your face.. IT IS PAIN! Well, it's more fun then it looks like from offride A piece of art Nice, calm station Well, that's not the busiest station ever Nice! Ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie! Oh, well, not during this run, because the track was a bit moist of some light rain just before that run.. It really runs much better after some light rain and a warm day . It was not as bad as I expected, but still quite bad Pity it's impossible to take pictures of tonnere.. That's all
iplf Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Spent a few hours in Parc Asterix today. After a rather tame ride on Tonnerre 2 years ago, we got to ride it during rather heavy rain today. Our backseat ride in the pouring rain was incredible. I now get all the love for Tonnerre. Oz'iris looked absolutely breathtaking, even in the rain. The ride itself was very good and a nice addition to the park. Supersmooth (frontseat) with decent forces, however nothing too incredible. Perfect ride for both families as well as thrill-seekers. Overall operations seemed good in the park, although it wasn't very crowded.
matteocrepaldi Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 On Saturday the park was packed! Rode Oziris only 3 times also due to the fact that the single rider queue was closed! Yet I say it's the best inverted I've been on so far. So much forces and surprizes! I wish I knew french to understand all the jokes in the queue line! Goudurix is awful. They really should do something about it.
cfc Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Goudurix is awful. They really should do something about it. They did--they painted it!
Dragon Khan Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 ^ They did, Chuck. Not sure if that was one or two seasons ago. they also built a nice "boat" station. What is new this year is all new chassis on this torture machine, and although some seem to find it a bit smoother, I still have to understand their conception of smoothness. Now, if one makes abstraction of the two slaps in the butterlfy element (which admittedly are insane and really hurt the neck) it's similar to some of the roughest SLC's out there. I'd compare the rest of the layout's roughness to the SLC at Adventureland and the one at Morey's Piers. (yes, even with the new restraint style, I DID find it rough and cannot imagine how abominable it must have been before they retrofitted it) it's really a shame it rides like this because in my book, Goudurix is one of the most photogenic coasters on the planet... Someone who works at the park for maintenance once explained, that some laterals were so strong that the running rails space, is increasing with the years !!! (what would NOT be possible with a track system where the cross ties are "outside"... thinking of it, all new coaster types seem to adopt "inside cross ties) Maybe spring loaded boggies combined to newer trains ala Carolina Cyclone could compensate a little...
KingRCT3 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Yesterday was the official inauguration of Oziris, and the show was AMAZING! Pics from Ameworld Pics from NewsPark "Full" show : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StgTCanuTy0 Final in HD :
