After fleeing Paris, everyone intact, we headed north to Parc Asterix. With kids, you gotta do kid things. And I will say - the French know how to design a roller coaster. The coasters there were soooo much more fun than other parks I have visited. Thank you France!
What was your favorite ride?
- Saraya: The Super Giant Collusus Roller Coaster
- Soren: The big blue roller coaster
- Anna: The giant discus roller coaster
- Jansen: The giant discuss roller coaster (copy cat!)
What is unique about a French amusement park compared to Lagoon or DisneyWorld?
- Saraya: I like Parc Asterix because its theme is Vikings, and Vikings are cooler than Disney princesses.
- Soren: There were more water roller coasters.
- Anna: The food! We had ham sandwiches on baguettes!
- Jansen: The rides were less maintained and the rules were much more lax.

Frozen Fanta Drinks. Fanta is a favorite in France.
