The excitement is palpable as Parc Astérix officially opens its highly anticipated new attraction, Cétautomatix, on August 18, 2025.
This cutting-edge, kinetic-powered family-friendly roller coaster is the first of its kind in Europe, and is already being hailed as a game-changer for thrill-seekers of all ages.
Set in the heart of the park’s Gaul Zone, Cétautomatix brings to life the bustling workshop of the iconic blacksmith from the beloved Astérix and Obélix series.
A Thrilling, Immersive Ride for All Ages
From the moment the new ride begins, riders are immersed in a fast-paced adventure, as the track features steep inclines, tight bends, and unpredictable acceleration. The design of Cétautomatix allows the roller coaster's cars to spin, adding an extra layer of excitement and surprise to each ride.
The attraction boasts a 420-metre track, with thrilling twists and turns that send riders up to a maximum speed of 45 km/h. The cars are designed to seat two people face-to-face, amplifying the shared experience as guests feel the rush of wind and adrenaline. With 8 cars in operation, the ride ensures smooth flow and minimal wait times.
The Vision Behind Cétautomatix
The attraction invites guests to step into a world where innovation meets tradition, offering a dynamic, spinning roller coaster experience like no other.
A nod to the Asterix franchise, Cétautomatix draws inspiration from the village blacksmith's fiery spirit and innovative genius. As guests approach the attraction, they find themselves entering a replica of the blacksmith’s garage—a lively, intricate space where Cétautomatix himself is hard at work on his latest creations.
