Looking forward to this! Looks like a decent and fun family coaster, excited to see it with the theming.

That is not a hill, that is an airtime hill

This actually looks ****ing fab.

Looks like a really good family coaster! I absolutely adore the colour scheme.

I absolutely adore the colour scheme.

Gerstlauer must like it too! Since they did the same colors on Sponge Bob as well. https://rcdb.com/3727.htm

Here's a recent video.

I almost want to barf at that music in the video... Eww...

I think some of the track looks a bit awkward? I'm still super excited for this ride though, love Asterix.

I think it looks fab! So cool. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Can't wait to see this testing.

This ride is looking amazing! I absolutely love this color scheme.

Might just have to finally drag myself to Asterix now! I do love a nice bit of lateral movement, especially like this:

How so?

Looking at it all again, along with the newer images, I think it was just the angle that was throwing me off a bit.

That colour scheme looks even better when it's over water. Look forward to seeing even more updates now the park is open.

Parts of it look awkward to me to, such as the flat bit above the water:

The banking on the descent in the foreground here:

And the strange kink in the hill:

Could just be the angle of the pictures but they do look odd. Nevertheless this looks to be a brilliant family/thrill coaster!

First tests

 

[Lofty]

That's a much longer train that I expected - I think this might have actually gone up in my expectations...

 

[SilverArrow]

Balrog's link didn't work for me so here's the YouTube link (to what I presume is the same video).

Looks fun and a bit different; bring on plopsterix!

 

[balrog]

it is not the same video. The one I posted was just visitor footage.

The park also tweeted a picture of the train
