    Update March 2024: I was positively surprised by Pégase Express today. It ran well and the fast paced transitions are fun, even if there isn't much in the way of forces. It's just behind Goudurix in my rankings now. Update October 2023: Forget what I said about this being better than Zeus. It's not. Zeus is a great coaster and I even prefered Goudurix to Pégase Express. It's a good family coaster but it does next to nothing in the forces departement. I don't even think it hits 2Gs. It's a good family coaster, it does its job well and has a high throughput. The rattle can grind on you, it doesn't cause a headache, it's just there. This coaster is a great fit for families and a good step up from the smaller coasters at the park. It has a cool launch out of the station that has a little bit of kick to it, a good drop that’s not to thrilling to appeal to younger riders and a short but good backwards section. The Medusa section is cool too and some hills have a tiny pinch of airtime. The ride has a problem that a lot of Gerstlauer coasters have and it’s the potholes. They are especially noticeable in the backwards section and the coaster overall has a little rattle but nothing too uncomfortable. A good intermediate coaster that fills a gap between thrill and family coasters though it is still pretty much a family coaster. Update June 2023: I rode this coaster on June 28th and it was my best ride on this. The forward section didn't wow me, it was the same as before. The backwards section was awesome. Not being able to see what is coming adds a fun factor and makes even the mildest of elements hit different. The left seats also get some water due to the fountains that are syncronised to the trains passing. It did have a noticable rattle, but nothing that really bothers me. I had a better experience on this compared to Tonnerre 2 Zeus, which was crazy rough and not fun, and that is enough to push it to a 4 star rating. It's better that Goudurix and Zeus (unpopular opinion, I know).

    Tematización Situación Fun

    This is the roughest coaster at Parc Astérix by far. The seating is uncomfortable. Just like the trains on Vol d’Icare, the trains on Trace du Hourra have tandem seating and it is bad. It’s not as uncomfortable as it is on Vol d’Icare, at least according to my friend. To me it felt mostly the same but oh well… but the roughness is what really killed the ride for me. It is incredibly shaky to the point where my vision was bopping up and down. The theme is nice though and the location in great next to the upcoming Toutatis coaster. The bobsled aspect is fun though and the layout for a bobsled coaster. Roughness is apparently an issue on all Mack bobsleds so I’m just gonna accept it, and remember, I was in the FRONT row, which is supposed to be the smoothest row in a coaster so I can only imagine how it is in the back. My friend told me he didn’t feel the roughness that much probably because he was in the front of the seat with me protecting him from the vibration. I’ll probably pass this coaster the next time I go there or maybe I’ll ride it last because if I’m gonna get my brain shaken around, I’ll ride it last. Still a tiny bit better than Vol d’Icare but barely. Update May 2023: I rode it twice this time around because there was next to no line so I thought back to back rides like that were a bargain. First of all, this has got to be one of the most efficient coasters I have ever seen. It is not rare to see two trains on the lift hill at the same time. I got a ride that was extremely rough in the middle but I was resting by back on the seat. At the end of my first ride, I figured out that not having your back on the seat was much more comfortable. I got another ride in the very back and it was good. The first midcourse didn't hit at all which not only made for some awesome whip on the following turn but also some good positive G forces. The S turns are quite fun at the beginning. What's funny is that someone threw up on the exit platform in the train right in front of me. I've heard many people call it "La Trace du Vomi" which literally translates to "The Vomit Stain" and there you go so that was quite funny but overall it's a good family ride that brings some life to the festival area. Update January 2024: This actually has good positive Gs. It's actually pretty smooth in the front car too. I actually prefer this to Pégase Express. Update March 2024: Didn't ride it this time as it was closed for half of the day, and had a 50 minute queue (the longest on March 30th) after its reopening. That paint is looking worse for wear though. I don't believe it was ever repainted.

    Je m’attendais à avoir mal au crâne au vu de la réputation du constructeur mais c’était bizarrement fluide, après c’est pas non plus un chef d’oeuvre

    Primera caída Inversiones Fun Demasiado corto Intensidad

    Packs a real punch with it's first drop and turnaround but fails to keep up this level of intensity for the rest of the ride. Has some incredibly fun inversions and is gorgeous to look at though.

    Je lui ai laisser une seconde chance, c'est encore une catastrophe, encore pire qu'il y'as 3 ans ... Des vibrations monumentale, le train saute tout les 2m, c'est une purge totale, à fuir et éviter au plus vite, raser moi cette bouse ou retracker moi ça en RMC, il n'y a plus rien à sauver ...

    Alors comment dire, c'est nul. Enfaîte c'est rigolo parce qu'il ya de la vitesse et de la puissance mais en soit il n'y a aucune sensations. Les inversions sont toutes plus inintéressantes les unes que les autres, et le confort est clairement à revoir. Franchement les 3 étoiles c'est cadeau parce qu'il les mérite à peine .
