This isn’t a review I was expecting to do any time soon! A surprise visit to this lesser known park, but claiming to be the second largest in France. The size of the park certainly didn’t disappoint being somewhere between Thorpe Park and Alton Towers as reference. The park is very experienced focussed with much more of a drive on experiences than coasters. If you’re familiar with imax style shows and 4d cinemas you can expect much more of this but with motion seats etc. That said, there are a couple of truly fantastic rides such as Tornado Chasers. Some of the park does feel a little old but there’s still plenty going on for most ages. The only restriction that stand out to be aware of are height restrictions. For quite a few rides there are minimum height restrictions. Kids around the 4-5 mark may be just off that height and maybe disappointed! Just something to be aware of.

Also, be aware that in June time and prior, a large number of rides weren’t open until the afternoon. Just something to be aware of when planning your visit.

There’s also a large water park being built next door which will make an ideal two day outing.
