The Raptor. This big roller coaster in some Six Flags park in Michigan. It was by far the best set-up roller coaster I’ve ever been on. The ride lasted about 5 minutes, and they had 4 cars going at once that all had tons of people, so the lines were very fast. Plus, it was just fun :). ---

Asterix is great indeed. I have all the albums. =) The theme park is not so big (compared to others) but there’s a good diversity between the rides. It doesn’t look like it, but the second pic is one hell of a ride! Amazing, especially in the first wagon! We went in there like 6 times! :thumb: ---

It was on a wild Donkey, through the woods. No theme park can match that horror. TD ---
