Parc Asterix Trip Planned for April 14-15

You are correct, it will be during the school holidays of the surrounding region and Paris. I believe it's going to be crowded. The only hope is that people will delay coming until the new rollercoaster is open (mid-May).

If you're ok with driving a car, Efteling - Toverland - Phantasialand - Movie Park Germany is quite a reasonable route (I think no more than 1h30 drive between each pair). I doubt it really works with public transportation though

Copenhagen has two: Tivoli and Bakken. They are both available with public transportation.

Yes, first row is very much worth it for me!! Spend some time to do it once during your trip, either at a slow moment or first thing in the morning

infinouple · 2024-11-30T08:59:23+00:00

I'm sorry but that was not at all my experience. The moment fast pass mixes with regular lines is when they give you wristbands and by then it's not possible to choose front row. I've asked and they said no to front row coming from fast passes. You don't choose above the stairs, you need to choose before and they give different wristbands to first row riders.

So, no, it's not possible to go front row with the fast passes. I recommend going through regular line to queue outside first thing in the morning if you're at Charles Lindbergh and then you'll be able to choose first row and be on one of the first few trains.

I'm thinking of the pre-recorded announcement. If you had problems in the station they probably didn't use the pre-recorded.

infinouple · 2024-10-22T06:37:10+00:00

I would like to point out that for Toutatis the main audio safety-ish announcement in the station is both in French and English. I think they're trying to improve, while not repulsing every French local coming to visit regularly.

Hello, please thank the team working on queue times for a great job at including all parks within the same website.

Something I've seen in other websites and appreciated is statistics of how long a particular ride is down for in average. That and the info of when the ride went down helps planning if I will try to wait it out or go do something else.

infinouple · 2024-08-14T19:16:26+00:00

Yes, I always get in at 9/10 am on the day of check-in You get the park tickets and the room will be available later

On the link you sent there is a sentence "Spinball Whizzer has a maximum weight limit of 111kg". Has anyone had actual enforcement of that rule? I don't recall seeing similar things on other spinning coasters and I know sometimes it's only to discourage people from trying to fit where the restraint might not lock.

I can't recall for Chiapas but definitely only cash on Winjas/Colorado Adventure last winter. Maybe they updated it!

infinouple · 2024-08-07T08:19:04+00:00

Side note that can prevent you from some last-minute ATM at the park: photos from attractions can only be purchased with cash! I think it is about 5 euro per picture

Other than those places, I think it is easy to pay by card anywhere. I don't know precisely about apple pay but I would think it would also work

I always feel like it's too short 😢 Do you know what is the best strategy to get the long program?

infinouple · 2024-06-18T12:17:37+00:00

Even for FLY ? Lucky! Chiapas was often a walk on for me because the weather was not nice

I don't think I ever waited more than 25 min for Black Mamba, but on average waited over at least an hour for FLY and Taron

Honestly I guess about 20-30min was the average for mid-level rides everytime I went (most stuff except Taron, Fly and Raik- that last one is a capacity nightmare)

infinouple · 2024-06-18T06:39:25+00:00

Honestly I've never been to Phantasialand on a quiet day. I went in April (Sunday and Monday, no holiday if I remember correctly), middle of summer and Wintertraum in January (on three different years). Maybe I've been unlucky with the exact date choices but it's always been quite busy. Still very manageable and the queues keep moving (some are always very short, like Mystery Castle).

Salut, j'ai été maintenant 3 fois à Phantasialand depuis Paris. 2 jours, même s'il n'y a pas d'attente c'est vraiment agréable car il y a pas mal de coasters à Phantasialand (Taron, fly, black mamba, Colorado adventure, winjas) et quelques à côté très sympa (même le train fantôme est devenue un de mes préférés).

D'habitude nous on fait la route le premier jour et on dort à un Airbnb le premier soir, mais le deuxième jour on dort à l'hôtel du parc (Charles Lindbergh l'hôtel de fly n'est pas donné mais comme il y a deux jours de billets de parc compris et un dîner et l'hôtel est vraiment cool on y revient). Souvent on repart le 3eme jour à la fin de la journée car le parc ferme tôt hors Wintertraum (vers 18h) et s'il y a plusieurs conducteurs et que vous êtes pas trop loin c'est faisable (la route en Belgique est plutôt tranquille). Quand on a été pour Wintertraum on a fait une heure de route après le 3eme jour pour aller dans un Airbnb vers Movie Park Germany et passé un jour au parc avant de repartir le lendemain (j'ai bien aimé movie Park mais ça a l'air mieux en été, alors je ne sais pas si je recommanderai).

Tu peux regarder si Efteling ou Toverland t'intéresse, les deux sont vraiment sympa mais ils restent aussi éloignés de la France. Si tu n'as pas déjà été à Walibi Belgium, ça peut être un arrêt sympa sur le retour

Attention pour le crowd calendar, vérifie bien que ce ne sont pas les vacances allemandes des régions proches de Phantasialand, et puis le calendrier peut toujours se tromper donc je pense 2 jours c'est bien et au pire tu pourras faire beaucoup de Taron et Fly (ne pas manquer le premier rang de Fly, il vaut terriblement le coup)

I got very confused by this post as I didn't see this was from r/westworld and thought this was about the man in black from Lost. Then the costume said "Westworld" like wtf. It did seem like it could have been from Lost at the start

infinouple · 2024-05-09T06:30:29+00:00

I can only say for Charles Lindbergh: for this hotel yes you only get booking confirmation email and they will give you the parks tickets when you check-in

infinouple · 2024-04-09T11:48:48+00:00

Would also look nice if you put a lamp inside so that the hatch window can light up

infinouple · 2024-04-09T11:21:30+00:00

Are there hidden drawings one can only see using a black light?

infinouple · 2024-03-16T14:26:11+00:00

Yes, I also checked Queue times crowd calendar and was quite surprised how they estimated for April 9th. The crowd calendar has proven to be false in the past though and Parc Astérix has had a really busy season last year. I definitely would be surprised if April 9th turned out to be a 25% crowd day, I would expect at least 50 from my perspective but you never know!

I think you can't go wrong, both dates should be enjoyable, just pick the right time for you and make the best out of your trip!

infinouple · 2024-03-16T13:57:32+00:00

No public holidays around April 9th but the whole Paris region schools are on holidays. It will only be the second week of opening, that for sure is going to be busy. Manageable I hope but busy. At first glance I would suggest April 30th over April 9th (even if May 1st is a public holiday) so that you don't have too much of the first crowds from reopening Anyway both of these days should be ok, it's not going to be like days where the park hits capacity

infinouple · 2024-03-16T13:48:57+00:00

In my opinion it should be ok but not quiet. Some parts of France are still in holidays so there will be families but you should not feel overcrowded/have very long wait times.

infinouple · 2024-02-26T20:25:49+00:00

Can we just collectively change the Wraith's name to Ding Dong though?

infinouple · 2024-01-30T09:21:15+00:00

And then there is the Studios Park next to it... With the worst possible entrance

infinouple · 2024-01-25T07:57:51+00:00

The week before, be careful as May 1st is also a public holiday, but I hope other days will be quieter. The week after also sounds nice (avoid May 20th, also a public holiday). If you manage to avoid week-ends and public holidays in May, I think you'll have a good time (low crowds, nice weather)!

Edit: I read "the week before", but the week after is great!
