icon_STOP2026 - Egypt Expansion - (3/21/2026) Parc Asterix has unveiled some details and images of their expanded “Egypt” zone within the theme park, ahead of the season opening on April 4th. The new expanded Egypt zone will provide for a new immersive and interactive experience for guests with characters like Cleopatria and the Egyptian gods.
    The article also mentions that several former attractions have now been redesigned to fit the new theme. The former Oxygenarium water attraction has now been become “Descent of the Nile”, along with a new themed queue experience. The “Les Chaises Volantes” flat ride has now become “Flight of Ibis”. The expanded land will also offer new dining and retail experiences as well, including Les Fastes du Nil, which offers new dishes inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine.

 

icon_STOP2027 - Odyssee Hotel - (12/6/2025) Compagnie des Alpes confirmed plans to build a new 300-room hotel at Parc Asterix by 2027. CDA currently plan and growth projections for the original Parc Asterix is to invest heavily into that park and grow it to become one of Europe’s top 5 theme parks by 2030.

 

2028 - Londinium - (11/27/2025) A great preview video clip shows off a look at what we can expect from the new 2028 attraction for Parc Asterix as a pair of coaster cars are shown making controlled spinning motions as they run through a heavily themed Londonium landscape. Based on the video this is either a shuttle coaster, or more likely something with a switch track, as the cars are seen going up a small enclosed spike at one point, spinning around and then falling backwards onto the track layout.
    Note that this is apparently just an example of “concept art” of what to expect and does not reflect the actual final layout or scenery to be used, but still, this is pretty darn cool looking.

 
    (11/11/2025) Blooloop reports that the new interactive dark ride coming to Parc Asterix in 2028 will indeed be a project from Alterface. The attraction will feature a “competitive scoring system” that will encourage repeat rides, with “visible scores, hidden bonuses, and scenes with multiple levels of discovery.” Follow the link to see all the latest details.
 
    (9/20/2025) Parc Asterix has already set plans in motion for their next big expansion, which will see the comic version of Asterix’s “London” brought to life for the first time. The plans being filed list this as a 2028 project, but there is a lot going on, and sometimes projects as Parc Asterix take a little longer to build than originally anticipated, so this could be something that opens a year later, or perhaps in phases.
    The park’s current Rue de Paris will be leaving to make room for Londinium, though given that there will be at least two differently theme sections of this new land along with more than one new ride, I once again wonder if this will be a multi-phase project. The two distinct additions here will be the “Circus” area that will feature a new interactive dark ride (I’ve seen Alter Face mentioned), kids play area, a pub and from the sound of it, a seasonal walk-through haunted house. It also sound like the existing stunt show arena will be kept, rethemed and integrated into this new land as well.
    The other area is being referred to as “Camden”, which will feature a number of outdoor midway games as well as a major new indoor coaster attraction that is thought to be an Intamin Multi-Dimensional Coaster project. The latest example of an Intamin Multi-Dimension Coaster project would be the “Uncharted” themed coaster that just opened at Spain’s PortAventura in 2023 featuring a number of unique special effects features and track effects. The details posted so far claim this will feature 5 12-passenger independent cars with LSM launch sequences and able to pivot to point the riders at specific scenes along the way, so this does sound very much like the Uncharted style ride system.
