Chez Gyrofolix, Theme park ride in Parc Astérix, Plailly, France.
Chez Gyrofolix is a rotating cabin ride at Parc Astérix equipped with four spinning compartments built by Zamperla. The attraction spins riders in a themed setting within the Festival Toutatis zone of the park.
The ride was added to Parc Astérix following the park's opening in 1989. It expanded the entertainment options available in the Festival Toutatis section of the park.
This ride draws from the Asterix comic universe, featuring characters and settings that visitors recognize from the stories. The experience connects to the world readers know from the books and films.
Riders must meet a minimum height of 120 centimeters to go alone or 102 centimeters with an adult accompanying them. Plan time for safety checks and check availability to avoid very long waits.
The ride uses a hydraulic restraint system that arranges eight trains with four seats across two rows. This design allows many guests to experience the rotation simultaneously.
