Tonnerre 2 Zeus

About

Tonnerre 2 Zeus is a wooden roller coaster course located in the Asterix Park in Plailly, Oise. Opened to the public in 1997 as Tonnerre de Zeus, it was designed by engineers Dennis McNulty and Larry Bill, and was built by Custom Coasters International and later modified by The Gravity Group in 2022. The attraction is located at the bottom of the park, between Aerolaf and Discobélix.

The main elements on the course are: a 33-metre climb, a first descent in a tunnel and two very tight propellers: the first at 572° and the second at 256°. The minimum size to climb on the attraction is 1.20 meters. The attraction has often been designated as one of Europe's best wooden roller coasters, winning the Ultimate European Theme Parks Award in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 in the "Best European wood roller coasters" category and finishing first in 1999, 2000, 2001 at the Mitch Hawker's Wooden Roller Coaster Poll, this time a world ranking.
