During a day at Parc Astérix, riding the Goudurix is a must-do for thrill-seekers. But you still need to be able to withstand the jolts throughout the experience. This roller coaster is just as famous for its seven inversions as for its lack of comfort. Since it opened in 1989, its age is starting to show. But connoisseurs know that vibration issues are primarily related to the ride's model, designed by Vekoma. This same company also took care of Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris, which was experiencing similar problems... until the introduction of modern trains.
And it's a good thing: Goudurix is about to benefit from the same preferential treatment.As soon as Parc Astérix reopens for its 2025 season – which will begin on April 5 – Visitors will have the pleasure of discovering brand new carriages, equipped with flexible harnesses. The seat and headrest have also been reworked to limit shocks and jolts throughout the journey. The Gauls who dare to brave this roller coaster will soon no longer need paracetamol to recover from the journey!
The 2025 season is full of new features
Every year, Parc Astérix has a whole host of surprises in store for its visitors. And 2025 already promises to be a particularly busy season. In addition to the much-needed renovation of Goudurix, a unique family attraction in Europe will open its doors a few weeks after the reopening. Cétautomatix will expand the Gauloise zone by offering an accessible but no less sensational experience. With its rotating cars and winding route, the coaster promises to be a new must-see in the park. It's a shame to have to wait until mid-May to enjoy this new feature, which deserved an inauguration at the start of the season.
The Egyptian land will receive a new fast food restaurant: Les Fastes du Nil. On the menu, wraps and burgers with Egyptian flavors. It remains to be seen what the park means by that. To kick off this new season in style, the destination is also organizing a family discovery offer that will take place from April 7 to May 7, 2025. From Monday to Friday, any dated adult ticket booked on the Parc Astérix website will entitle children under 12 to free admission. The age of the little Gauls will be checked. At the entrance: remember to bring ID!
