Goudurix, Steel roller coaster in Parc Astérix, France

Goudurix is a steel roller coaster at Parc Astérix in Plailly, Oise. Its yellow track, with seven inversions including a butterfly, a batwing, a vertical loop and a double corkscrew, runs on dark red supports. The circuit starts with a chain lift hill and lasts 1 minute 20 seconds, with the drop and inversions taking 52 seconds at up to 4.5 g.

Goudurix opened on 30 April 1989 with Parc Astérix itself, built by Vekoma, and was the park's flagship attraction. On opening it was the second coaster in the world with seven inversions and held the European inversions record until Dragon Khan at Port Aventura surpassed it in 1995. The station was rebuilt with Viking longboat theming in 2007, and the track was repainted yellow and red in 2009.

The ride is named after Goudurix, the fearful, lazy teenage nephew of Abraracourcix in the album Asterix and the Normans. The name was reportedly considered as Dragon vert before opening. Since 2007 the station carries Viking theming in the form of a wooden longboat, tying the queue to the Asterix and the Vikings animated film released in 2006.

The circuit lasts 1 minute 20 seconds, of which 52 seconds are the drop and inversions, where riders feel up to 4.5 g. Two trains of seven cars carry 28 passengers, two per row in four-seat rows. The station sits in the south of Parc Astérix, in the Grand Lac area, near Tonnerre 2 Zeus.

Goudurix was the first coaster to build a butterfly element, two inversions in one figure; only Blue Hawk at Six Flags Over Georgia has one too. In December 2021 the park put up a plaque marking 31 consecutive rides filmed by Mcfly and Carlito for a Christmas video.
