On a school trip in Year 8 to Paris, we had the fortune of visiting Parc Asterix. Before this I had never been a fan of rides and wouldn't even venture onto something like RMT at Alton. Yet, at Parc Asterix we had gone round, done Trace du Hourra as my first coaster ,was great, and then we got to the corner of the park. We got in the queue for "Tonnerre de Zeus", not having a clue what it was as it was all hidden in the trees. We got in, pulled out of the station and looking up that lift hill blew me away. The speed, force and roughness I experienced on that ride, one of my first ever coasters, then, was amazing. After revisiting it 2 years later, with more experience on coasters, it still threw me about as much as it did them two years ago and still amazed me.
