Parc Asterix |"Oz'Iris"| B&M Invert

[Venom2053]

I like the logo its looks like its straight from the comic books, but the concept art really makes it look amazing. Too bad it never looks as good as the concept art.

I hope they do build it with this standard of theming, it suits the ride very well. Great stuff!

So, just to clarify, it is actually going through water?

Parc Asterix |"Oz'Iris"| B&M Invert

Looks like a mist pit to me not water.

^ I agree, but I thought in some layout photos a while ago it showed it as going through water... maybe I'm just remembering this wrong.

Of course, the concept art could just be misleading as well.

 

[Lofty]

Yes, in the original artwork, it did have a tunnel that goes UNDER some water. Wether or not that's come to fruition, I cannot tell. If I remember correctly, it was between the over bank and the first 0G roll?

 

[CMonster]

That's where it seems to be in the concept art.

As a French parkfan, I am really proud of the Parc Astérix's initiative. I mean, we all waited this news to come for so long ! I haven't been in this park for some years precisely because of its lack of novelty. France was once a no B&M's land, and it's totally great things begin to change.

Actually I might not say something new (too lazy to read 60 pages anyway), but I am quite excited by Oz'Iris's layout, a departure from past B&M inverts to me. The theming looks very promising : matches well the Egyptian setting while keeping the nice humor that defines Astérix (have you noticed the mini Eiffel Tower refurbished in an Egyptian fashion ?)

Another update on the theming:

Ooh yummy! I didn't think they would theme it to such detail

 

[peep]

Love it, really can't wait to see it in person in a couple of months time. The last big project they did the theming was insanely epic, love to see that epicness carried on here.

Perhaps this is why we've been waiting so long!
This couldn't really be more like Montu...and they're not trying to disguise it either! However, saying that, it does rival Montu and certainly rivals it too...and ,of course,there is small French touch, which works really well.

The attention to detail is, frankly amazing! Each time you queue for Oz Iris, you'll notice a theming item that you hadn't noticed before...and it doesn't matter how many times you ride!

 

[iblamefish]

They are doing an absolutely amazing job on the theming. Some of the best I've seen in a very long time.

Is he Hypnotic Grooming that Child? The FIRST Paedo-Coaster in the world.

Have to admit, the theming of rock work etc is great, really good.

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

Ohhhh that's actually to do with the character's background!

Brill attention to detail from the park then...

Some new pics from the parks FB page:

Have to say, it really is looking fabber and fabber with every little update!

 

[Hixee]

This looks great, can't wait to see it all finished off.

Only thing that might let it down is the intensity, but to be honest I'm hopeful that it will ride really well!

 

[rollermonkey]

This year's crop of European Beemers are really killing the North American rides in terms of theming.

 

[Lofty]

It really is looks fantastic. I love the part of the queue inside the Helix.
