Toutatis
Toutatis is Parc Astérix's big launch coaster and, according to the park, the fastest roller coaster in France. It opened in 2023 and reaches 110 km/h at a height of 51 metres. The coaster is located in the Festival Toutatis, on the edge of the Gaulish part of the park.
The concept
Chief Abraracourcix leads the whole village to the Tumulus of Toutatis, a sacred site for the tribe's protector god. A big festival is held there, with a shop and food stalls. The highlight is the Ritual of Courage: you board a car inside the burial mound and prove your bravery. The coaster was built by Intamin.
The Experience
After a launch you shoot out onto the track, which is over a kilometre long. According to the park, Toutatis holds the world record for the most airtime moments on a steel roller coaster: 23 times you're lifted out of your seat. The ride also features three inversions. The combination of speed, height and those recurring floating moments makes it intense.
Discover Toutatis
Use the single rider line
Toutatis has a separate single rider line. You fill an empty seat on a train, so you often board more quickly. You won't sit next to your friends, though.
Try the test seat first
There's a test seat in front of the queue. Not every body shape fits safely in the restraints; try it beforehand so you don't queue for nothing.
Arrive early or stay overnight at the park
Staying at one of the park's hotels? Then you can get in here 30 minutes before opening (not during the Peur sur le Parc evening openings).
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.30 metres tall. 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). With Filotomatix Illimité you can even skip the queue an unlimited number of times. Wheelchair users take a lift to the station; you must be able to transfer into the seat yourself. An on-ride photo is taken on this attraction. With the Pass Paparazix, sold at the attractions' photo points, you get the photos from several attractions.
The new star attraction
For many visitors, Toutatis is the reason to visit Parc Astérix. Take a look around the Festival Toutatis after your ride: you'll also find Chez Gyrofolix, the Aire de jeux du Sanglier d'Or playground, the Au Dolmen Gourmand restaurant and the Boutique Toutatis, where you can buy your ride photo.
