There are simply a huge number of amusement parks and attractions in the world, which, perhaps, cannot be counted. But you can definitely find one that is one and only and unique of its kind โ this is Asterix Park!
About the park
Parc Asterix is โโa large theme park with a wide variety of attractions, which is located near Paris and looks like an American Disney. In Paris, even before the construction of Asterix, there was its own Disneyland, but the French firmly decided for themselves to build something of their own, in connection with which they soon built this amazing building with attractions and carousels.
Asterix Park was built on the theme of the beloved movie and cartoon โAsterix and Obelixโ. These two heroes are French, who in the film and animated film play the role of Gauls and are able to withstand the huge army of the Roman Empire. In addition, they constantly get into some trouble and comic situations. It was these heroes, as well as the entire village of Gauls, that became the main characters of the entire amusement park.

Popular attractions of the park
At the moment, the park has more than 30 different attractions, of which more than 5 are American, and about 5 water slides. Visitors of all ages can ride the rides. There are many surprises and entertainment prepared for every adult or child.
Among the most popular attractions of the park are:
Gaul
There is a rock in the center of it, and Asterix himself sits on its top. The visitor gets into a small trailer and rides down the river, where there are various water effects, and at the end, visitors of the carousel will have to descend from a slide 11 meters high! Only real brave men can do this!
The Roman Empire
Here you can go down on an inflatable ring, also along the river. Each of the circles can accommodate a maximum of 6 people. There are a variety of turns here, but despite this, the attraction is considered quite calm. The river gently pulls you downstream โ nothing special and scary. Here you can ride with the whole family.
Ancient Greece
This attraction is a huge slide, which can be safely called the largest and oldest among all the others in Europe, it is also called the thunder of Zeus. So, this attraction starts from a dizzying descent, which starts from the very top 30 meters high! Then you will rush down like a stone at a crazy (for an attraction) speed of 80 km / h, and then rise again and descend again, while there will be both double spirals and air coups.
Vikings
This attraction will carry you with a maximum speed of 75 km/h! You will be able to visit both steep descents and ascents, but in addition, you have the opportunity to look at the world as if upside down, and this will be possible thanks to a small number of meter loops. At the same time, you can feel both fear and bliss, because most of this attraction passes over the lake. Pregnant women cannot visit this place, this is written on the sign at the entrance to the attraction.
Oxiderarium
This attraction is called the Oxygerarium and resembles rafting. Here, in an inflatable circle, no more than 6 people can fit, everyone rises to a height of 70 meters using a special escalator, and then descends down a mountain river. Here you can get a little wet, so before entering here you should not forget about it, it is better to take some kind of raincoat with you.
