Location Intensity Rattle Headbanging
Given the reviews I was expecting this to be a lot worse. The headrests are very soft so as long as you brace for the ride duration you can avoid too much headbanging. I thought this ride had good intensity and a fun first drop. Visited on a weekday so no queue - don't think I would bother queuing for a long time to ride it.

A very rough coaster, but the very soft headrest makes it doable as long as you're prepared. Beautiful location as well.

Firstly the ride looks very cool on the lake side. Sadly its a very uncomfortable and rough ride. This needs either new lapbar trains, a retrack like Python at Efteling or a total replacement.

Inversions Fun Intensity Headbanging Theming
Update April 2023: Nothing to add besides a wicked moment of headbanging at the batwing’s entrance (I only got one ride in the front this time so it might not be as bad in the middle of the train). On a positive note, there was almost no rattle whatsoever. Note May 2023: I didn't get to ride it that time since it only ran one train with two rows blocked off, which after some math gives us an abysmal 456 riders per hour with about 4 minutes between each cycle. To be clear, I'm not blaming any ride operators, it's just that the ride seems to be held together with copious amounts of duct tape... Updated October 2022 review: This coaster is an intense Vekoma custom looper with great head choppers during the butterfly element and the batwing is intense. The loop will thrust you forwards if you’re in the back and the corkscrews are as disorienting as ever. While the coaster has a noticeable rattle, I found it way more bearable than the rattle on Tonnerre 2 Zeus or Trace du Hourra. I got 3 rides today and on my last one, I got a headbanging free ride while IN THE BACK ROW which really allowed me to enjoy the forces the ride has to offer and the drop is great in the back row too. The headrests are nicely padded so the trains aren’t as bad as people make them seem to be. I'd just hope each ride was more consistent. The turn into the final brake run is violent too but it is still a good classic looper that still has its place at the park as an inversion machine and it doesn’t deserve its reputation as one of the worst coasters ever. Original review: "One of the world's worst coasters" they say... I don't think it deserves that title at all. Yeah it's kinda rough but not nearly as rough as I expected and does it have headbanging? Yes but, I mostly felt it at the back of the train, maybe it's also the case in the front but I only rode it in the middle and the back so if you stick to the middle rows, you'll be fine and even in the back, the most uncomfortable moment is the entrance to the batwing. I think with new vest restraints, it would be a great supporting coaster for the park and when I see the piece of shit known as Vol d'Icare getting a better score on this website than Goudurix, it hurts me. This ride has a great setting and the only thing left to do is buying some new trains so I hope the park keeps it and gives it the love that it deserves because it's an icon so make sure you don't miss out on Goudurix and if you don't want headbanging, just stick to the middle rows.

Inversions Intensity Rattle Discomfort
As I expected Goudurix to be as bad as those classic SLCs, my first ride in first row was actually a pleasant surprise. The soft cushions for your head help with the headbanging and the variety of intense inversions is quite interesting. Later that day I got a second ride in the back car which was more painful. I would still prefer this over a lot of other older Vekomas, especially the old SLCs. Just go for the front and push your head in the pillow and you will be fine.

Nice surprise! Intensity Layout Rattle Capacity
Underrated coaster! Very intense inversions and comfortable headrests. Not the smoothest but never experienced any headbanging.

Inversions Intensity Headbanging Harness
My first ride was in the front row and this really wasn't too bad. The inversion were really intense and the headshoopers were pretty nice as well. Of course you get your old Vekoma trains but because of the large head cushion the headbanging was tolerable. Later I got a back row ride with far worse headbanging which really made ride uncomfortable. All in all: Get a front row ride an leave it at that!

Inversions Intensity Layout Rattle Headbanging Discomfort
Ridden this several times and each time it feels as if it gets rougher and rougher. Kind of annoying how you have to really brace to not experience major headbanging, and the leg room is nonexistent. However, it’s a great layout, just executed really poorly.

First Drop Inversions Duration Headbanging
Goudurix has to be one of the, if not, the most undeservedly hated coaster in the whole world. Before I rode it, people warned me that it would be one of the roughest experiences ever. While yes, it's defenitely not smooth, it was not nearly as bad as people told me it would be. I'd say the only truly rough patch is the batwing, where I did experience considerable amounts of headbanging. The remaining parts of the ride weren't smooth, but I didn't get significant amounts of headbaning. I do think that they should add the Vekoma Vests to this ride. That would improve the experience, especially the batwing. It might deserve 5 stars if they do so. I rode this ride 9 times over 2 days, one of the days I rode it 7 times and I didn't get anything close to an headache or some other kind of injury. I defenitely enjoy my time on Goudurix. When you get to Parc Astérix, you should experience Goudurix and make your own oppinion. I'd say this is a must-ride when you get to the park, I'd 1000% reccomend it.

Headbanging Discomfort
Un Coaster innovant lorsqu'il a été ouvert, mais vieux et désagréable aujourd'hui, même les non fan de coasters le trouvent violent, ne surtout pas coller votre tête au dossier, un coaster qui mérite d'être remplacé par tout et n'importe quoi, à ceux qui disent que c'est un emblême du parc je vous répondrai qu'il y a les 3/4 du temps plus de monde à Oziris qu'à Goudurix

Oh my god this ride is HORRIBLE!!! I would rather ride a Vekoma SLC than ride this piece of garbage ever again.
-
Nice surprise!
This ride was a LOT better than I expected. It's not exactly good but it does not deserve the hate it gets. -> Update: I take that back after I got to reride it in 2021 in the back row and dam that sucked a lot.

This deserves all the hate it gets + some more. The head rest breaks the back of the shoulder if you're over 180 cm tall, the backrest in front of you bangs into the knees throughout the whole ride. I was surprised to find out it went only 96km/h, felt more like 200 on square wheels.

Very overhated; doesn't deserve all the hate it gets (seems like everyone says that). I don't know how to explain it but the roughness almost adds to the experience. There's a jolt in the entry to the batwing and the corkscrews are a weird sensation but overall it's a shockingly alright ride with a fantastic layout.
-
A lot better and not as rough as I expected after reading and watching reviews, enjoyed my ride and would have had more rides if wasn’t heading over to Oziris

I will admit, this coaster is kinda rough, but I actually got a few good rides on it on my last few visits. I'd go as far to say that I like it, even if it is a 5/10.

Nice surprise! Location Layout
Having read lots of reviews saying how rough this ride was, I was pleasantly surprised to find it nowhere near as uncomfortable as expected, and as such enjoyed it rather a lot. I've ridden so many worse coasters than this!

I hate to borrow the phrase, but "but it looks so pretty" from a popular series of youtube videos is unfortunately the only good thing anyone will ever find to say about Gouderix. Despite it's crappiness, Gouderix is a must-do-once for all coaster fans for precisely that reason. Vekoma have learned from their errors of 25 years ago, and now make some of the best rides. "Most improved manufacturer"!

Headbanging Discomfort
Ceci est, de loin, le pire Coaster que j'ai eu la douleur d'essayer en Europe, en Californie et en Floride. Ca secoue dans tous les sens, donc maux de tête et douleurs aux épaules garanties. Comparés à cet instrument de torture, les Boomerangs et SLC ( pourtant aussi des catastrophes) du même constructeur sont des parties de plaisir. A éviter.

The layout may be photogenic and may have a nice flow, however the on-ride experience is nasty. Goudurix provides a lot of headbangs and quite some rattle too! Awful coaster, though I think there's even worse out there...
