Parc Du Bocasse - New coaster 2016

[Martyn B]

A little unknown park in the north-west of France have started to advertise on their Facebook page that they're adding a new coaster for next year.

Could well be worth keeping an eye on... and it looks to be within driving distance of Calais for a day trip.

I believe this park only opened this year? I think it's this one anyway. It'll probably be a small family coaster to fit their target audience.

^ You must have mistaken it with some other place... This one has been operating since 1967 and it was actually the second French park to feature a coaster back in 1980 (first one was Bagatelle in 1969).

^ Didn't the French make coasters from the Russian Ice Slides or something?

^ I didn't say those were the first French coasters, I said those were the first French PARKS to feature a coaster. I believe those early coasters were just erected somewhere in the middle of the city or just for a short while, like fairgrounds are nowadays.
