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 - (10/8/2024) Some awesome new pictures of the Misison Bermuda attraction coming to Futuroscope can be seen below. As previously mentioned, I believe this will be Mack Rides first Rocking Boat attraction that should offer a prettty unique new experience.
(12/2/2023) According to posts, Futuroscope’s new attraction for 2025 will be an awesome new water based Mack dark ride experienced called Mission Bermuda. According to the video on Chall Chats, this will replace the park’s existing “Energy Gardens” area of the park.
Based on the artwork, this will be a mix of Mack’s “Rocking Boat” ride system along with elevator lifts leading to some coaster/flume style drops, placed in themed environments that will surround the riders in the water by media-based screen technology as well to visually place the riders in crazy wild environments in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle.
Honestly, I’m really excited by the potential of this unique combination of ride systems and technology, that essentially brings the concept of an immersion tunnel style experience to a unique water ride experience, where the controlled motion of the boat itself can be controlled in sync with the media to quite literally put you in the middle of a hurricane at sea.
