Parc Astérix has confirmed the full details of the upcoming expansion of its iconic Ancient Greece area, scheduled to open in spring 2027.
Designed as a vibrant, living space, this impressive expansion will blend Greek mythology, new family-friendly attractions, an interactive play area, and rich Mediterranean dining options.
New Thrills for All the Family
The resort is expanding its family portfolio with the addition of two brand-new rides, boosting the area's capacity by a combined 800 visitors per hour to help streamline park crowds during peak days:
- Tournikotis Tournikotas: A pair of family-friendly drop towers taking riders high into the air for a series of successive ascents and descents, delivering gentle thrills and laughter for parents and children to experience together.
- La Flotte de Poséidon: A dynamic boat ride where guests step aboard one of eight boats in the fleet, spinning and rising around a central pillar before plunging into the waves of Mount Olympus.
Younger visitors will also have their own dedicated area with the debut of L’Aire de Jeu d’Ulysse, an interactive themed playground inspired by the adventures of Ulysses.
Mediterranean Cuisine Takes Centre Stage
The centerpiece of the redevelopment is La Table de Dionysos, a new large-scale fine-dining restaurant with total seating for 460 guests. The themed venue will feature 350 seats indoors, within a majestic interior setting, alongside an outdoor terrace accommodating 110 guests.
The resort's food and beverage offering in the Greek zone will be further expanded with two new kiosks:
- Chez Nikos Bouldeglas: Serving artisanal ice creams.
- Elis: Offering refreshing slushies.
Additionally, the park's existing Taverne de Dionysos will undergo a complete rebrand to become La Taverne de Poséidon.
Complete Track Replacement for Tonnerre 2 Zeus
Alongside the area's new additions, Parc Astérix is completing the total retracking of its iconic wooden coaster, Tonnerre 2 Zeus. Following the retracking of 50% of the layout this past season, work will continue through the winter to ensure 100% of the track is replaced ahead of the 2027 opening, delivering a significantly smoother ride experience while preserving its signature intensity.
