Le Vol d'Icare, Steel roller coaster at Parc Astérix in Plailly, France

Le Vol d'Icare features a 410-meter track with climbs and drops reaching heights of 10 meters, offering speeds of up to 42 kilometers per hour.

The Zierer Hornet model roller coaster opened in 1994 as part of Parc Astérix's expansion of family-oriented attractions for visitors of all ages.

The roller coaster design incorporates elements from Greek mythology, specifically the tale of Icarus and his attempted flight toward the sun.

The attraction maintains a capacity of 1,150 riders per hour and requires passengers to measure at least one meter in height for safety reasons.

Riders experience a flight simulation lasting 75 seconds without inversions, making it suitable for families seeking moderate thrill experiences.
