Goudurix
Goudurix is one of the oldest roller coasters at Parc Astérix: it has been running since the park opened in 1989. The red track stands in the Vikings area, by the large lake. On the park's Dutch-language website it is called Hippix.
The concept
According to the park's story, the bard Assurancetourix tested and approved the coaster. He supposedly never sang as high as he did on the day of his ride. The coaster was built by the Dutch company Vekoma and is packed with inversions.
The Experience
You climb to a height of about twelve storeys and then dive down, reaching peaks of 90 km/h. Seven inversions follow, including a loop and a double corkscrew. It's a short, intense ride in which you get thrown about quite a bit.
Discover Goudurix
Watch it from L'Aérolaf
From the revolving bar L'Aérolaf, 35 metres up, you look straight onto the loops of Goudurix.
Keep your eyes open
At the top of the lift hill you get a lovely view over the park. After that it all happens fast, so take a good look around before you dive down.
Shorter queues
This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid queue-jump system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026).
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.40 metres tall. The park describes the attraction as suitable for families and adventurous children from 1.40 metres. This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid fast-track system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026). Wheelchair users take a lift to the station; you need to be able to transfer into the seat yourself.
A piece of history
Goudurix is a classic that's part of what Parc Astérix is all about. Combine it with the other attractions in the Vikings area, such as the swinging ship La Galère. Afterwards, grab a drink at L'Aérolaf with a view of the track.
