Épidemaïs Croisières

About

Epidemic Cruises is an aquatic attraction like tow boat ride, located in the French theme park Asterix Park in Plailly, Oise. Located in the "La Gaule" area, this attraction is built by Intamin and opens on April 30, 1989, at the same time as the park. She is closest to the world of comics because she is the only one, except Caesar's Carrousel, to present the characters of Asterix as well as scenes directly echoing the comics.

The attraction welcomes visitors in its sixteen 16-seater boats. Its capacity is 1,600 people per hour. Children up to 1.30 m must be accompanied by an adult.

Called "The Asterix Walk" until 1998, it changed its name to the park's tenth anniversary in 1999 and became "Epidemais Cruises". Many characters, including Epidemai, then made their arrival on the route, largely redesigned. On this occasion, the animatronics bordering the course are replaced by still statues.

Thus, several moving paintings, such as Asterix's taking his magic potion or Idefix biting a Roman's buttocks, are deleted...
