Discover OzIris
Our tips:
- Use the single rider queue
- Sit at the front
- Come back in the evening
OzIris
OzIris is Parc Astérix's inverted coaster, in the Egyptian zone. You sit in seats beneath the track, with your feet dangling in the air. The coaster was built by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 2012. On the park's Dutch-language website it's called Osiris.
The concept
The Egyptian magician Iris has built a temple for an experiment in collective levitation: you're his test subject. The track winds around the great temple and over the water. Opposite the temple is P'oz Kebab, where, according to the story, you should fill your stomach first so you can fly better.
The Experience
After the lift hill you plunge from a height of 40 metres and reach around 90 km/h. Then come five inversions: loops and corkscrews, right across the park. The track is roughly a kilometre long. Because your legs dangle freely, every twist feels just a bit more intense than on a regular coaster.

Use the single rider queue
OzIris also has a single rider queue. If you don't mind sitting apart, you'll often get on sooner.
Sit at the front
At the front there's nothing ahead of you but sky. You hang with your legs free and watch the track rush towards you.
Come back in the evening
During events, the OzIris temple is the backdrop for light and sound shows, such as Les Merveilles de Cléopâtre during Noël Gaulois.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.30 metres tall. The park describes OzIris as suitable for families with thrill-seeking children from 1.30 metres. This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid queue-skip system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026). Staying at one of the park's hotels? Then you can ride here 30 minutes before opening (not during the Peur sur le Parc evening openings). Wheelchair users take a lift up to the station.
The heart of Egypt
OzIris is the centrepiece of the Egyptian zone, which was significantly expanded in 2026. Combine your ride with La tour de Numérobis, L'Envol d'Ibis and La Descente du Nil. Afterwards, eat at Les Comptoirs d'Epidemaïs or Les Fastes du Nil.
