La Machine à Voyager dans le Temps
La Machine à Voyager dans le Temps is a dark ride at Futuroscope Park near Chasseneuil-du-Poitou that seats visitors in small trains equipped with special effects and 3D imagery. The approximately ten-minute journey moves through various historical periods, from prehistoric times to imaginary eras, featuring moving projections, lighting, and sound effects synchronized throughout the experience.
The attraction opened in December 2013, replacing an earlier ride called Les Animaux du Futur. The concept is based on the Rabbids, humorous characters from a Ubisoft video game, who invented a time machine out of an old washing machine in their story.
The ride features the Rabbids, mischievous rabbit characters from a video game who entertain visitors with absurd scenarios throughout the journey. The entire queue and theme area are decorated with humorous details and playful artwork that create a lighthearted mood.
Children must be at least 90 centimeters tall to ride, and younger children should be accompanied by an adult. The park recommends purchasing tickets in advance online to avoid long waits and save money.
The vehicles resemble an unusual invention: the Rabbids built their time machine out of an old washing machine, giving the entire experience a quirky edge. This creative backstory adds a special humorous character to the ride that sets it apart from standard attractions.
