OzIris • Parc Astérix

Theming Intensity Smoothness

Oziris is probably the best B&M invert ever made and it is the best coaster in its park and dare I say in France. It has some great hangtime packed zero-g rolls and good inversions at the beginning and it even has some airtime. The first drop is great, especially in the back of course. It is extremely smooth and intense and has zero headbanging, a perfect invert in my books. Update April 2022: This ride is still as great as ever and I think I got a ride with the nylon wheels this time as it ran much faster than usual. It also had a slight rattle, which didn’t bother me at all because it wasn’t uncomfortable, it just was kinda there. All of these signs point to it using the nylon wheels on my latest rides. Even though Toutatis is there, you sure as heck don’t want to miss out on OzIris. That said, I have to deduct .5 stars to this coaster’s rating due to how great Toutatis is. Update May 2023: This ride is near Toutatis in terms of how great it is. Fight me. I got three rides today: One in row 7, then in row 5 and finally in row 3. It's one of the only B&M inverts that has airtime after the first drop. The transitions are whippy yet immaculate. The first inversions are intense in the front and the Zero G Rolls are both great. They are floaty yet also have great whip. All drops deliver great airtime and even the transition into the brake run delivers good airtime. The ride is also extremely smooth. The only "shaky" part is the pullout of the first drop. Even though Toutatis has good theming, I still think that OzIris is the best themed coaster at Parc Astérix. Don't miss out on OzIris when you visit Parc Astérix. Update June 2023: While OzIris is an amazing ride, after riding it and Toutatis back to back, I can't in good conscience give it 5 stars. While it delivered my best rides on it yet, and the positive Gs were way more pronounced than usual, Toutatis is still a level above it.

Airtimes First Drop Hangtime

Oziris is a great ride! I personally dont think its the best inverted coaster, but it stands out. the rest of the park was also very good, I would really recommend it if your on a roadtrip to France!

First Drop Theming Smoothness

loved every second of it, and the 2 zero g rolls were probably my favorite inversions on any roller coaster. its glossy smooth and GOOD LORD is it intense. i could barely hold my hands up throughout the ride. the 2 helixes towards the end were probably the most intense part of the coaster, i was almost greying out. ALSO the first drop is so good, you get that stomach dropping feeling that i used to hate but after this i crave it now. i would say its better than toutatis, but its still a close call, so i prefer oziris to toutatis.

Theming Intensity Layout

With other B&M Inverts I've ridden I feel they do not really stand out from each other. OzIris I feel stands out from the rest because of its great layout. It has intense inversions, some weak floater airtime moments, a long ride and beautiful Egyptian theming. Certainly one of the best coasters in France!

First Drop Theming Smoothness

One of the two masterpieces of Park Astérix. It's smooth, intense, graceful. It's just a short head behind Toutatis, which I guess will always remain my number one among all coasters.

Airtimes Capacity Comfort

Loved it, unexpected layout, very smooth ride and very intense. Loved everything about it.

First Drop Theming Fun

A very good B&M invert with a nice first drop and some intensive inversions. Not the standard design, so it stands out from other B&M inverts. Great theming.

First Drop Theming Inversions

A very good coaster with an amazing theming. The elements feel very well balanced out. Although I think the elements don't feel as special as the ones on other rollercoaster types. The first drop is awesome especially in the front row. All the inversions and other elements are very smooth and relatively intense.

Great theming, great ride.

Inversions Duration

very satisfying duration. A lot longer than the common invert, by far my favourite. Better than Nemesis. Inversions are whippy, intensity is on point during the loop, and everything comes together to make a great ride.

Airtimes Pace Intensity

An incredible ride, although I was scared at first it was a lot better than I expected! It was extremely fast and and lots of loops, an incredible experience and would try again.

Airtimes First Drop Inversions Intensity

very good b&m invert, but very different from any of the other ones i've done. there is zero whip in any seat, but it has a few solid pops of air, which i haven'r experienced on any other b&m invert. i like alpengeist and afterburn more, but top 3 invert is high praise nonetheless.

Pace Smoothness Layout

Although the theming is not as good as black mamba from Phantasialand I prefer this coaster cause of the layout! This coaster was the biggest suprise for my with its smoothness (in comparison to similar coasters).

Pace Intensity Smoothness Intensity

You can't really go wrong with a B&M invert :) I can only judge from one front row ride (I think probably the back rows would be too intense/rough for me as I don't usually like riding them near the back). I thought this was super smooth and comfortable to whole way round. The inversions were great, the section after the tunnel was nice and really floaty I liked that there was a small section with no inversions. I know I put intensity as a pro and a con,.. that's just because for me personally the final helix was super intense and really made me feel nauseous for a while after riding! But the inversions weren't overly intense which I liked. And it was pretty smooth. Just a shame for me personally that It made me feel sick, but I think that's just how I react to intense rides and personally prefer launch coasters.

First Drop Inversions Intensity

Strong, intense ride and by far my favourite B&M Invert so far, with the other two being Monster (Gröna Lund) and Black Mamba. Oziris is obviously much longer than the other two and manages to pull some strong positives while also offering some good airtime. The first drop is one of my favourites too. A nice queue line and theming also add to the experience.

Theming Inversions Fun Rattle

Great ride with great theming and a nice queue line. Especially liked the drop into the tunnel and the second zero-g-roll. It wasn't as smooth as expected however.

Theming Inversions Intensity

Oziris is one of the best B&M Inverts out there. It’s got a modern-ish layout for the model, but still manages to pull strong forces. The first half, from the drop all the way to the vertical loop, is fantastic and offered consistent positives that had me graying out multiple times. The second half isn’t as good, though, which is why I put it under other inverts like Montu and Katun. Still, Oziris is a fantastic ride and a great number two for the park.

First Drop Comfort Layout

Great inverted coaster - I particularly loved the first drop, and thought the layout was fun. Small amount of rattle but overall very comfortable! Rode this one twice.

Theming Comfort

A great B&M invert with a few unexpected forces. The cheerful Asterix theming takes it a level beyond other similar rides.

Theming Inversions Layout

Nicely almost best themed coaster in the park. Amazing coaster with a fun layout and rapid fire inversions. Not very rattling and pretty smooth

First Drop Theming Inversions

World class invert coaster.

Intensity Smoothness Duration Theming

Nice b&m invert. Smooth, intense and long, with a few surprise twists you don't see coming. Great capacity. I am not a fan of the theming.

Theming Inversions Layout Intensity

It might not be the most intense invert out there, it feels more graceful than the others with heavy positive G's, but it is still an amazing ride. The layout is pretty versatile - the small dip after the vertical loop provides a nice moment of floater airtime and the dive under the water just into the zero-G-roll makes this coaster special. But my personal highlight is the final inversion - it is taken with a lower speed, so this zero-G-roll feels extremely floaty and might be the best of its kind. Theming is nicely done, the queue is one of the best in this park and the station building with the plaza looks awesome.

First Drop Inversions Intensity

This one of the best B&M coasters I've done. This ride features an surprisingly good first drop (back row), some nice an intense truns an some great inversions. But there are also some unusual pops of weak airtime for a B&M invert. The small bump before the Immelmann really caught me off guard in the front. All in all amazing but I'm still no huge fan of inverts because there is just not enough variety of forces.

Theming Intensity Smoothness

I like Oziris a lot. It's the best suspended coaster I know AND it has great theming. Not only with the boarding station (an beautiful Egyptian tempel), but also the environment is great, there are live actors doing a show and the music is nice. A example for other parcs!

Inversions Comfort Intensity

Honestly people, when you're visiting Paris for a week, instead of visiting Disney, you must visit Parc Astérix instead and this ride is one of the reasons for that. OzIris might be the best inverted coaster in the world. That's of course not for me to say, because for me, it's also the only one I've ever ridden, but a friend of mine, who has also been to the USA and England, says so. This ride is incredibly intense, It's first drop is, in the back row, by far the best moment on any rollercoaster in not just Parc Astérix, but probably the whole of France. On every single inversion, I feel like my legs are going to be ripped off by the amount of G-Forces OzIris sends my way. Every time you hit up Parc Atérix, you must ride OzIris and if you have the time, probably more than once. This ride doesnt have a weak side. I consider this ride to be perfect.

Airtimes Fun Smoothness

One of the smoothest coasters I’ve been on, and with a great layout, somehow including multiple moments of airtime on an invert. Great first drop, which is enhanced in the back row. Go for the front row if you want the view and get the full effect of the leg-choppers, but go to the back if you just want the whip.

Theming Comfort Layout

Rode twice in really hot weather and back seat ride blew me away. Was intense but smooth, loved the layout. Nemesis was the best invert I’d ridden but after the back row ride on Oziris, I have a new favourite.

Fun Layout

Not quite as intense as I wished but overall a solid invert. Really good final inversion though

Theming Comfort Smoothness

Though I rode this seven times in one day I can't remember what the ride was like. However, I do remember enjoying it heavily and there weren't exactly any bad parts at all. It's very smooth and comfortable, sadly I can't say anything on the intensity until I get a more recent ride on it in the future.

Theming Inversions Layout Intensity

Different layout to many inverted coasters that made it feel unique and fun. Lovely ride to watch. Could possibly be a bit more intense but near perfect the way it is now.

Theming Disappointing! Intensity

I love a good and intense B&M Inverted Coaster, but this ride was forceless. It was disappointing, not my cup of Tea.

Comfort Fun Smoothness

Oziris really saved my last visit to Parc Asterix. The layout is very decent, no annoying mid course brake run, but like almost B&M's could use an extra half a G in places to throw some intensity into the mix.

Capacity Fun Layout Dead spots

One of the most recent B&M Inverts, OzIris is quite different from the old-school models such as Batman: the Ride, Montu and Pyrenees. It has no pre-drop, and a much less snappy transitions. The end result is a graceful coaster with an original layout. It has great flow and interactions with the pathways and scenery as well. The forces never get too high contrary to earlier Inverteds. I personally prefer really intense coasters so OzIris doesn't rank too high, but I appreciate B&M trying something new and different!
