Discover Discobélix: The Exciting New Discus Ride at Parc Astérix

Experience the thrill of discus throwing with your family at Parc Astérix's latest attraction, Discobélix. Inspired by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo's iconic comic "Asterix at the Olympic Games," this ride brings the adventure to life.

From the queue, pass through an impressive Greek temple where Obélix's massive disc seems to skim the columns—the detailed décor is a highlight. Straddle the enormous 10-meter-diameter disc as it spins along an 80-meter ramp above the lake, igniting a dramatic flame at the peak before soaring back and forth in exhilarating swirls that leave everyone laughing. Whether it's an Olympic triumph or not, Discobélix is already a park favorite!

Minimum height: 1.20 m. Great value: Get up to 2 free children's tickets (for kids under 7) with every full-price adult ticket (€47). Offer valid until July 3, 2016. Visit www.parcasterix.fr.
