Park News - (4/7/2023) Futuroscope is in the news today after it was reported that a fire broke on the Objectif Mars roller coaster this morning. According to the post on Reddit, a lithium battery under one of the roller coaster cars caught on fire, with riders trapped inside the car just above. The post comes with a shocking video clip showing riders trapped in the car by the locked restraints, with one passenger beating at the smoke with what looks like a jacket, before the staff quickly arrive with fire extinguishers to put out the flames.
2025 - Mission Bermuda / Mission Bermudes - (6/15/2025) For those interested, I came across a second POV video of Mission Bermuda at Futuroscope, this one shot with a slightly wider angle lens that lets you see a little more of the scenery. There are some subtitles as well describing the attraction and what’s going on, but they are in French.
(6/14/2025) Big news from Futuroscope about the new Mission Bermudes attraction. While the website now listing the opening day as June 28th video from media previews on the ride have now been posted online, which you can enjoy below!
Now at first we thought that Mission Bermudes may be a mix of an indoor and outdoor flume ride creation, the final videos reveal that the entire experience is an outdoor one, though the concept is still quite wild and exciting to see. Check it out below and see what you think.
 2026 - The Greenhouse of Worlds - (1/20/2026) A new attraction called “The Greenhouse of Worlds” is coming to France’s Futuroscope park on February 7th. According to Themeparks-EU, this is supposed to be a walk-through multi-sensory exhibit, designed in collaboration with Moment Factory, who was behind “The Abyss of Light” attraction at the Aquascope waterpark.

2028 - The Race / New Roller Coaster - (1/10/2026) Vekoma has apparently signed a deal to build a second Thrill Glider roller coaster in 2028 that will open at France’s Futuroscope park. Like the prototype that will be built at Six Flags Magic Mountain over the 2026 season, riders are expected to be seated in a motorcycle style riding position, mounted to an inverted or suspended style roller coaster train.
Futuroscope is referring to this ride as “The Race” currently, but that is probably not the final name.
