Live the Hotshots Adventure

Climb aboard Fireline Redwood, the new family roller coaster at Fraispertuis-City, inspired by the legendary Hotshots — the elite firefighters of America’s great forests.

On a 208-meter course combining underground stretches and soaring ascents, experience a unique backward climb up to 22.5 meters before being released at high speed toward an impressive 28-meter spike nestled in the heart of a giant sequoia.

Reaching speeds of 61 km/h and accessible from just 95 cm tall, this adventure invites riders of all ages to share thrilling sensations while discovering the heroism of those who protect our forests.

Opening scheduled for July 2026

Fraispertuis-City, the Vosges amusement park, celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026! To mark the occasion, two new family attractions will be inaugurated next summer. Among them are a new roller coaster and a drop tower. The elite American forest firefighting teams known as Hotshot Crews are on alert. They are looking for new recruits to help them protect the forest and raise the alarm at the first sign of a fire. Discover Fireline Redwood, the new roller coaster by Vekoma, starting next year. Accessible to riders 95cm and taller, the attraction will lift the 20-passenger train backward. It will then be released at high speed on a 208m long track with sections between sky and underground, culminating in an impressive 28m spike nestled in the heart of a redwood tree. The hostile terrain forces the train to reverse direction for a return trip to the station.

Technical Data

• Name: Fireline Redwood

• Manufacturer: Vekoma Model: Family Boomerang (208m)
• Speed: Up to 61 km/h

Fraispertuis-City benefits from a unique natural environment. This new initiative raises a major issue: the preservation of our forests and awareness of fire risks, while also highlighting the admirable work of those who protect them with courage and dedication. A second new attraction will be unveiled: an 11-meter-high family drop tower from the German manufacturer Zierer. This bouncy adventure will be accessible to those 1 meter and taller. The attraction will be located near Fireline Redwood, on the site of the Joly Jumper, which will be relocated to another area of the park.

• Manufacturer: Zierer
• Height: 11m
• Model: Family Freefall Tower

These two new attractions and the surrounding area development represent a total investment of €7 million and will complement the existing 38 attractions. They will be integrated into the lumberjack zone, near Timber Drop, the Rivière Castor, and Sawmill (New for 2025). Several local companies have been working since the end of September to bring this new project, led by the Fraispertuis-City teams, to fruition.
