Parc Astérix | Cétautomatix | Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster | 2025

The opening is expected to coincide with the start of the French summer holidays, though this is not guaranteed. If this happens, this would mean the 5th, which is this weekend. I've seen no movement on any media that this would be the case.
I am visiting on Saturday and Sunday so there's a chance I'll be there on opening day*, but I am not holding my breath as there's simply no news. Then again, Phantasialand soft-opened F.L.Y. pretty much out of the blue so stranger things have happened.

* Which would actually be my first opening day, I managed Day 2 for Nemi Reborn.

Was there this past Wednesday (7/2) and saw it test once while riding the flume. Absolutely no indication of any opening yet

I was at the park on Saturday and Sunday, they were testing with water dummies on both days. No sign of opening though.

Some more info from the director of the park, again saying that parts from the manufacturer got delayed, which delayed the opening.
Opening is now estimated for end of July.

I think it'd be better for them to stop announcing a date at this point

I've seen it test once with dummies last Sunday however I'm expecting a delay to 2026 more than an August opening at the moment.

I'm expecting they'll want it 100% before opening.

Well I visited the park today and it has been testing multiple times today. They really pump out trains fast on that thing. But no sign of opening...

At this point I guess they will open the coaster in 2026.

Here's a teaser from the park this morning:

I think this means opening is imminent (strange thing to post if it's going back to 2026).

Soft opening is ongoing and the public is riding as we speak.

We have a first POV for the ride. Looks like the wildest Gerstlauer spinner yet. Gerstlauer also changed the lap bars.

looks great. spinning coasters do so well with just a bit of extra theming and nice environment, its a shame so many of them just sit on concrete pads
