I'm going to get this coaster for my birthday! Best gift ever! Can't wait to ride this beauty..!

[matteocrepaldi]

I'll be there for my very first visit to Parc Asterix on May 12th. Very excited!

[Real]

So far, everything looks like it just takes Montu and says "Sorry bro. whatever you can do, I can do better"

 

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL looking ride. I am jelly that I am not closer.

[ScottBrown]

It is a newer B&M though while I think this one definitely has out themed Montu I have a feeling it wont pack quite the same punch that Montu does, I will be very interested to hear the reviews and would love to hear one from someone that has been on both

I would post what I just said while looking at these pictures....but it would not be appropriate

VERY nice.

A member of a French forum (who currently works at Parc Astérix) rode Osirix several times yesterday, and said that:

 

- The ride is amazingly smooth

- The first drop is impressive but "OK" in the first row, and intense in the back rows

- The helix at the end of the ride is full of G's

- The Zero G Roll is awesome in the first row, "OK" in the back rows

- The second tunnel is impressive and very scary

Wow, looks great! I wish this wasn't thousands of miles from me.

[Bob!]

Several good friends of mine will ride it tomorrow, I'm so jealous! Ahahaha, well anymay, I'll ride it on April 21st, I'll probably shot some photos and post it there.

[Dragon Khan]

I'll post some on Saturday night too. I'll be there for the official opening day. Hope it's as good as it looks !

[UrbanLegend]

This really does look magnificent.

[australianalex]

I love the layout for this coaster, and the coaster itself if stunning.

[andybarnes84]

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see in that POV, but does this coaster have 2 zero-g rolls?

 

*books Eurostar tickets NOW*

 

Seriously, this has to be one of the best layouts of an invert ever.

[cfc]

Excellent work on the station and entry plaza--Parc Asterix has themed this ride well.

[Hilltopper39]

This looks like a weird mini version of Montu, but still looks good.

[vacoaster09]

I love sequencing this invert has! Great job... there's a pov on youtube poasted today with sound that I just watched and its got some decent speed.

My onride POV of this amazing beast:

 

 

 

(How do you integrate videos?)

 

 

It's smooth, powerful, original.. Loved it!

KingRCT3 : Here is your video (you filmed it in HD, that's a very good thing ).

Thanks Bob!

 

It's much easier that way, and really, people don't have to miss that, that ride is truly amazing!

 

From the area theming, the queue filled with humor, the track flying over us, the great drop, the tunnels and footchopers... It's not only a coaster on a parking, but it's not a thematised Vekoma neither..

 

By the way, in the video you can hear me shoting some familiar phrases.. "Loopy Loop" ; "Take the tunnel".. All the copyrights go to TPR of course!

[ScottBrown]

Ok I was a bit skeptical of this ride until I saw the POV, I know rides can't be judged by the POV but this thing LOOKS amazing

[BaMiTsPaT]

This ride looks like the real deal! I love the pacing (as everyone else has already said), and the theming looks awesome too! The final helix looks like it pulls some really nice force too.
