Futuroscope | Objectif Mars | Intamin spinner

Well I would use the "looks slow" joke but unfortunately this is actually appears to be the case.

I hope they speed up the launches and actually have the trains spin. I'm assuming this is one of the very first test runs?

It doesn't sound like it's intended to go that fast. RCDB lists the top speed as 55kmph (34.2mph).

Glad to see it running faster than in the initial tests.

It actually looks a really good family coaster. I am sure it will be faster in person, and also spin much more with people in it. I imagine a majority of the theming is inside, but looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I reckon that's some drone footage sneakily cut into the offride footage.

100% can see the distance from the track constantly changing also notice there's an estop on the front of the train's bumper

I was not expecting that ending! However except for that, it looks pretty soulless, with the show scenes at the start feeling particularly awkward. It's nice to see some effort going into coasters like this though, and I imagine kids will adore it.

 

[Peet]

Yeah good ending but the Smiler-esque concrete and yellow paint "theme" isn't doing it for me

SPOILER ALERT!

I love the Randomness!........ blast off tunnel (but facing sideways) followed by a shuffle though the doors and a meander round a concrete trench! .... why does it even NEED to spin?

Tesla coils and a drop section gets bonus points

I sort of love it!! ?

 

[Lofty]

Give me this over a Reverchon spinner, which they could've easily done. It looks fun and I'm sure loads of kids will love it.

Sorry to bump the thread, but RCDB and Futuroscope's website call this coaster "Objectif Mars", with Futuroscope even changing the name to "Destination Mars" on its English pages. It also opened back on June 13, so why is this thread still stickied? Who's to blame?

... wait, that would be me. Better pull that pin out and change the thread title, then.

God Poke, get it together mate.

Earlier today, a lithium battery underneath one of the cars of Objectif Mars caught fire with guests onboard and locked in their restraints. Two people were injured, though it sounds like their injuries aren't life threatening, thankfully. Absolutely horrifying scenes:
