Azteka, Steel roller coaster in Le Pal amusement park, Saint-Pourçain-sur-Besbre, France

Azteka is a steel roller coaster at Le Pal amusement park featuring a circuit of roughly 500 meters with steep descents and sharp turns. The track winds through landscaped ruins and vegetation that create a temple-themed setting.

The ride opened to the public in 2003 as part of a major expansion at Le Pal. Twenty years later, new trains painted in green, orange, and blue replaced the original equipment.

The ride features Aztec-inspired architectural details and decorative elements throughout its course. Visitors notice temple motifs and pre-Columbian design touches that blend entertainment with historical references.

The ride is located within Le Pal's combined zoo and amusement park grounds and can be visited along with other attractions on the same day. Booking tickets online in advance helps you plan your visit more smoothly.

The ride's trains are styled like mining carts while navigating through temple ruins, blending industrial and ancient aesthetics in an unusual way. This creative combination sets the experience apart within the park's attraction lineup.
