RCT3Bross Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The disko is confirmed for next year, 2016. The new coaster is for 2017. I'm aware of that. But lets face it this wouldn't be the first time a park kind off walked over us like that. All I'm saying is that I got heard the news as if they're trying to sell this as the a new coaster, of-coarse that could be just be a error form the news feed I got and this where the writer thought this was a new coaster and not a flatride. I'm just wondering if they still plan the coaster for 2017 as there was no talk before over a ride in 2016 and this could be confessed with a coaster easily. So not that after the 2016 season we're all waiting for the announcement of the 2017 coaster and the park is like: "We had one this year (2016), so why another one next year?"

BDG Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) The Egypt area will also get a new ride: a Zamperla Suspended Windshear named "Sacrés Crocos". update: This ride seems to have been delayed and won't open in 2016. photo: Parc Astérix / Parks Trip Edited December 9, 2015 by BDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ^^ Looks great, especially all that theming. Giving Phantasialand a run for it's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 ^^ Yes, but it's also a pun, because the true translastion for Sacred Crocodiles would be "Crocos sacrés" (Crocos being the short for Crocodiles). But "sacré xxxx!" is an expression those equivalent could be "xxxx, you so silly!". Hard to translate, like 90% of Astérix puns..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDG Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) In a survey, the park has unveiled 3 possible new rides for 2017: Pégase - possibly a Gerstlauer Family Coaster with a backwards section - the photo shows - themed to Pegasus, and located in the Greek area of the park - station is called "Gare Montparnos" - during the ride you'll accidentally enter Medusa's Temple... and you'll be launched backwards to escape her curse Le Vol de Thor - a B&M Flying Coaster - themed to Thor, the god of thunder - located in the Viking area of the park Crocos - the previously announced Zamperla Suspended Windshear - designed by "Amonbofis" to bring visitors as close as possible to Cleopatra's crocodiles - water and fire effects, crocodile animatronics - located in the park's Egypt area source: Compagnie des Alpes Edited December 9, 2015 by BDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I always think it's a bit weird when parks ask what rides they should build via a survey like this, particularly when they're all such different concepts because the most popular answer might not necessarily be the best option for the park commercially. I'd be happy with any of those choices, though; it would be great to see another B&M, but Firechaser Express looks like such a brilliant little coaster that I wouldn't be upset if they built this. The Windsheer also looks quite fun and very nicely themed. Hopefully they'll build all three Edited December 9, 2015 by KarlaKoaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Sounds interesting (especially the family coaster and the flyer). It'd be nice to see another flying coaster getting built in Europe. Edited December 9, 2015 by rcjp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Those two coasters are certainly two great options, can't wait to find out which one they go for, actually hope its the Gerstlauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Family coaster for the win! Sounds like a much more interesting coaster and theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm more up for Thor with Pégase a close second. Thor just get my edge because it's extremely hard for a European mainlander to ride a flying coaster, I've been trying to schedule a trip to Alton for years but I either have to cancel it or other more easy to get parks make me skip it that year. So a B&M Flying on the mainland would make for a good excuse to get over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If the B&M flyer is anything like the Flying Dinosaur then I'm all for it! I wouldn't be upset with the family coaster though because Firechaser looks like an excellent family ride. So is the Zamperla still happening for 2016 or no?

BDG Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 So is the Zamperla still happening for 2016 or no? Only the Disko Coaster for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Pégase (the family Gerstlauer) has already been ordered by the park, so we don't really know why the survey... (internal source) I think it was the best choice anyway. A B&M flying would be awesome, but Oziris kinda already play in that field, being smooth and aerial.

Meteornotes Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 From these choices, I like the family coaster the best. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I would personally prefer the flyer before the family ride because Europe needs another flyer. However the family ride is probably the best choice for the park atm, and it looks pretty god damn awesome! What i really like about this is that it is three different rides, in three different areas with three different themes, which makes me think we can except all of them to be built in the future. I really like the theme on the topspin ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 With the work B&M is doing and how the recent Flyers have turned out - I'd like to see the flying coaster built. You know it'll have a great theme involved, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDG Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looks like the park will have a new coaster this year as well. SOS Numérobis, the park's medium Zierer Tivoli will be replaced by a new coaster... The park posted a photo on their Facebook-page with the caption "SOS Numérobis is getting back on the right track. Discover the new layout April 2, 2016". Surprised fans quickly asked what the deal was, to which the park responded with "it will be a new installation, with a new layout". And the status of the DiskO Coaster construction: source: Parc Astérix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Was that kiddie coaster relatively new or did they move it when Oz'Iris opened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
