PARC ASTERIX
France
Compagnie des Alpes (CDA)
 Park News - (3/27/13) According to this report at AMEWorld, Parc Asterix’s infamously rough Goudurix roller coaster is apparently in the process of attempting to ‘re-track’ the old steel coaster. A huge scaffolding setup has been put in place around the coasters track so workers can access it easily.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try to re-track a steel coaster in this fashion before. I’ve seen entire sections of track replaced from time to time, but never an attempt to repair the existing track on such a scale as this. (Though if they want to fix the roughness problem, maybe some new trains are also in order...)
(5/17/12) A fun video shot at Parc Asterix 20 years ago (1992) has been posted to YouTube by our friends at Parksmania. Check it out.
(3/2/11) Dark ride fans take note… a very nice video about the making of TransDemonium at Parc Asterix has been posted to YouTube for all to enjoy. They include footage taken as the building is first being formed all the way through to the ride’s grand openieng day.
2013 - Nothing is known at this point in time...
