A new 4-launch roller coaster for Parc Astérix in Plailly, Pacardie France is opening in 2022-2023. This Intamin-made ride (Model # LSM Launch Coaster 51-1075/1361) takes riders through RMC-like elements in a 1-minute 40-second adventure that is pure fun from start to finish. Enjoy our recreation with no limits. #ParcAsterix #France #Coaster

Rocky Mountain Construction created new ride elements that park-goers had never seen before when they started hitting the scene after their Texas Giant conversion in 2011. In just 7 years they’ve taken the industry by storm and changed the way companies design coasters. It’s not always about highest and fastest anymore. Now Intamin has adopted some of these strange looking elements into what looks like it could be the best coaster in the world. Our Twitter is always filled with the latest coaster news: https://twitter.com/InsideAmusement – Check it out!

The 2 LSM launches are utilized a total of 4 times on this journey, taking riders through a 101-degree drop with a stall at the top, a top speed of 66mph (106kmph). 167 feet (50 Meters) and a length of over 3500 feet (1075m). The park decided to add the new ride after being impressed with the addition of the Intamin coaster “Taron” at Phantasialand.

The ride also is billed as including the most unique elements on an LSM ride (30), the most launch elements on a coaster in Europe including the launches in the half-pipe after the ultra-fast side switch, allowing forward and backward launches into a “Cliff Hanging Experience.” 23 Airtime moments are felt along the ride’s path.

  1. This ride has already been built at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It's called Pantheon. We get to ride it in March 😎

  2. That roll at the end… sheesh 😍 if the profiling is the same as the video, it's very reminiscent of the Mosasaurus Roll on VC. Seems to incorporate the best of both Pantheon and VC into one, wish I lived nearby to experience it.

  3. super video mais je croyais que le launch coaster devait arriver en 2021 et nous n'avons rien eu enfin si le covid 😅la nous avons tonnerre 2 zeus qui vient d'ouvrir et l'an prochain Toutatis, l'attraction que tu décris parfaitement. Video tres bien faite ❤ la construction a commencé en Février deja 😉

  4. I went to Parc Asterix yesterday and i witnessed this coaster building up. The track is already set up. I can tell you that even without trains rolling, you can feel this is going to be terrifying.

  5. Now I’m sad because I will go to France in August and it won’t be ready yet.

  6. Imagine those magnetic launchers being “on” while the train rolls back 😳
