Toutatis Review, Parc Asterix Intamin Multi-Launch Coaster | France's Best Coaster 

I think you were lucky with the reliability. When I was there , it went down pretty much every hour or so, and not for small issues.

Nice review. Some things I'd add: (1) 03:49 Single-rider line: I've found this line moving annoyingly slowly, and you spend all the time in a very dark part of the station. When there are more than ~8 people in single-rider, I tend to prefer the regular line which moves along at a consistent speed and provides nice scenery. (2) 09:55 When going up the spike, you get some nice positive Gs (my app measured 4.5 G). (3) 13:30 The big wave turn towards the end gives great floater airtime on left side seats, but very little on the right side. This is another reason to prefer the regular line, where single riders often get sent first into a particular row (which translates into a left seat), whereas the single-rider line fills up a partially filled row (translating into a right seat).

I'm so glad to had toutatis in my home country, this became my favorite coaster, over Kondaa, FLY or Taron

The site lines for Toutatis and the new area are so great; Gotta love all the off ride footage that has come out of this new investment.

Note that with the first launch you’re getting that airtime out of the station while the train is already being launched. My first ride was in the back row and it caught me by surprise.

The drop off the top hat felt pretty mild indeed, the first drop on the custom Eurofighter at my home park feels more powerful 🤣 but I think the rest of the coaster easily makes up for this flaw 😁

I can definitely see the rides connection to Taron! The ride was definitely influenced by Taron’s station and rock work and I can’t complain because that’s what made me love Taron so much

I went to Parc Asterix yesterday. We were very glad we bought the unlimited filomatix. We did Toutatis 10 times without having to wait. Back row, front row, sunset and nighttime. We did it all. Defenitly my favourite coaster after Ride to Happiness in Belgium.

These newer Intamin coasters have such cool layouts to watch. That first stall looks so interesting. I'm excited to get on Pantheon sometime. This one does seem to pack a lot more elements in though.

This coaster has the theming I wish pantheon had ( level wise) . This coaster looks amazing

Toutatis is a really great ride, I rode it 2 Weeks ago and now it's in my Top 5. On my visit it was running with all 3 Trains the whole day long without any downtime and the Crew pushed roughly every 60 seconds a Train out off the Station. It was a really busy day at the Park and Toutatis had a 60-80min waiting Time but on the single rider line it was about 5-25min. But please be careful, they open and close the Single Rider line all the time. I think they don't want the Single rider line to be overcrowded.

This looks like an epic coaster! This is everything that Pantheon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg should’ve been, from the theming to the longer layout! Great video and hopefully I can ride this one someday!

Watching this ride get built over the years + during the winter and how colorful it looks now is great! Surely it paid off giving your enthusiasm haha

Thanks for the heads up on the glasses thing, ill make sure to bring contacts

Got to ride this beast 4 times, that spike in the back row is insane

Really good review as always. Didn't have the same experience with the single rider queue when I went, although they were running 3 trains not 2 so was probably a busier day.

When I was there it had a couple down times, less than 1hr each, and was running 3 trains all day. The line never got over 1hr and we waited a maximum of 30mins for it since we waited for the park to empty towards the end of the day (this was during summer time with Park closing at 10pm). I hope you got to experience it late in the day or even better, at night, because it gets even more beautiful and it noticeably warms up a bunch at the end of a nice summer day.

I am french and i 've done a lot of time toutatis and i can say that we don't feel the 23 airtimes that was announced by the park, but yes i agree this is the best ride in france

You got very lucky with the downtime. I was there for 2 days, on the fist day they said that it would be down for the whole day but it was eventually opened only to go down 30 minutes later. And on the second day it also had a lot of downtime throughout the day.

I actually prefer the lower seating on Pantheon. My only nitpick with Velocicoaster is the slight rattle, which I think only comes from the elevated seating. Pantheon has not had that rattle at all in my experience. I have been intrigued by Toutatis since it was announced in 2018 as well, so it was great to hear thoughts on it. I was happy that we got Pantheon in the U.S, given the clear similarities, but as much as I love it, I think I would like Toutatis more.

Rode Toutatis last month during a 10 Europe park trip. It was my second favorite coaster of the trip behind only Ride to Happiness and right ahead of untamed. I think Toutatis is a better version of pantheon. I felt the air time was better, the layout was a little better overall and it has a better setting.

It's on par with all the new coasters

The ride can run the 3 trains but I’m pretty sure one of them might have an issue, or maybe running the 3 trains increases the chance of an error occuring. I’ve seen it run 3 when I was there, but one was removed in the early afternoon, while I was waiting actually

Canobie Coaster would say: This is because Toutatis has an egregious trim brake on the descent. This is my biggest con with this coaster. Intamin marketed this as an anticipation stall. I believe it's meant to serve as a pseudo-holding brake, but it really hurts the drop in my opinion. Usually the drop off a top hat is one of my favorite elements on any launch coaster. They typically offer intense negative Gs. I want to point out two other top hats that got a lot of flack, but are way better than the one on Toutatis: First, there's Pantheon. That top hat doesn't have any trims, but the train goes over it rather slowly. However, the drop is unhibited, so the train is yanked down it and provides powerful ejector airtime for those in back. Second, there's Batman Gotham City Escape at Parque Warner Madrid. This top hat is notable for also having an anticipation stall. While you travel over the top hat even slower than that of Toutatis, the plunge...

See in RCDB those top hats on: Sky Rocket at Kennywood Batman Gotham City Escape at Parque Warner Madrid Toutatis at Parc Asterix I put those because they have a trim brake, but how would you compare between the three? What do you think?

‘ TATIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSsssss!!!! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don’t understand trims on drops. I’m sure there’s some engineering reasons, but I feel like they completely ruin the airtime and the drop That’s like making a cake and then saying “oh wait hang on, let me add some dirt to this”. I’m so disappointed if there’s a trim on a drop. Because I think about the drop that could’ve been

Are you updating the Oziris review? Or are your thoughts still the same now?

Sucks to hear about the no glasses policy as someone with a pretty strong prescription. Out of curiosity does Velocicoaster have the same issue?

Lets gooo

I honestly don’t get why people complain about that trim so much. I didn’t notice it at all on my rides on this coaster and was absolutely yeeted out of my seat on it. Also I find this coaster hard to marathon, because the strength and quantity of the airtime combined with how thin the lap bar is causes quite a lot of focused stress on my upper legs. My dad found it so bad he only rode it once.

Tonnere 2 Zeus and Goudrix review?

How many Intamin coasters do you know with their overhead lap bar restraints? I think there are many in Europe which opened between 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Examples:

I’m not the biggest fan of intamin rides, but boy does this thing look amazing!

I cant wait to ride it... i love taron at my Hp and this looks like it with a bit less theming but with a better layout, on monday i also got to ride taron with non of the Wintertraum lights so it was basicly pitch black and i cant wait to see what toutatis in the night will be like Edit1: Also PHL having like 0 loose item policy on taron is just fucking ridicoulas

TOUTATIS💙

Toutatis or BGCE? Which one you prefer?

Goudurix review one day closer 👀

Do you prefer toutatis or taiga?

Yeah I bet the trims on the top hat kill it; you'd think designers would've learned from Sky Rocket @ Kennywood. It does not thrill ppl like a true hold on a Dive coaster's first drop.

This is the international version of Pantheon.

I've now done this and Gotham City Escape and weirdly I also do prefer Gotham, but both are very good. Batman is my number 2 and toutatis is number 4

Toutatis or Kondaa?

It actually did run 3 trains most of the summer, but still the line was long because of downtime (and also the population of Parc Astérix is bad educated so shey do sh*t in the line and the station...). And even as a french waiting for it since 5 years, I sadly have to admit that Batman was better!

Better Than Pantheon

Ayy

06:15 no glasses allowed, not even with a strap ... 🤬

First comment

I really don't dig parks that don't allow strapped glasses. I've worn glasses since I was 3, from getting up to falling asleep, and I'm nearsighted. They're basically a part of me and I don't feel myself when they're not on. I feel like I'm being punished for something I didn't do when I'm required to remove them. I wish idiots with phones and kids throwing gum and change didn't ruin loose articles for everyone.

Everybody knows Toutatis is better than Toutatis!

egregious, what does that mean?

Canobie Coastsr would say: So what would I rate Toutatis? I would give this coaster a 9.5 out of 10. This is an excellent coaster. But why did you not give it a perfect score, a 10?
