Fraispertuis City, Amusement park in Jeanménil, France.
Fraispertuis City is a family theme park in Jeanménil, in the Vosges, built around an American West theme. Its more than thirty rides include the Timber Drop coaster, a 15-metre cactus-shaped drop tower, and a pirate zone with a Splash Battle inaugurated on 12 June 2009. A carved-concrete structure houses the Mine d'Or, and the Grand Canyon coaster gained a loop in 2005.
The park was founded in 1966 by the Fleurent family as a small regional attraction. Over the decades, it grew into a major entertainment destination through the addition of new rides and expansions.
The park displays Western design throughout its spaces, creating entertainment zones that echo American frontier architecture. As you walk between rides, you experience the look and feel of an old American settlement.
The park has several restaurants and cafes plus ample parking for visitors arriving by car. Opening hours change with the seasons, so checking current times before your visit helps with planning.
Timber Drop, built by the American firm S&S Worldwide for over €4 million, opened on 2 July 2011 and held the world's steepest-drop record for two weeks, until Takabisha opened at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan on 16 July 2011. It still holds the European record.
