Yukon Quad, Launch roller coaster at Le Pal amusement park in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Besbre, France
Yukon Quad is a steel launch coaster at Le Pal amusement park featuring a 12-meter height and 1000-meter track through themed sections representing Canadian Yukon wilderness. The ride includes multiple acceleration points and operates with trains holding 36 passengers across 9 cars.
Yukon Quad opened in 2018, built by Intamin as a launched roller coaster at Le Pal. The park itself began in 1973 as a zoo founded by André Charbonnier with help from the Vincennes Zoo's veterinary surgeon, and only became a full amusement park in 1981.
Yukon Quad takes its name from Canada's Yukon Territory, and the coaster's Canadian northwoods theme carries into the surrounding area of Le Pal. The park, created in 1973 by André Charbonnier, opened the ride in 2018 as one of its 31 attractions, alongside more than 1000 animals kept in semi-captivity.
Visit early in the day or during quieter evening hours to experience shorter wait times. Secure any loose items before boarding and prepare yourself for the intense acceleration moments throughout the ride.
The coaster uses a specialized tire propulsion system that channels power to a flywheel for the second launch sequence. This creates distinct acceleration phases that break the ride into different experiences rather than one continuous rush.
