Tigre de Sibérie, Steel roller coaster in Le Pal, Dompierre-sur-Besbre, France

The Tigre de Sibérie is a steel roller coaster at Le Pal in Dompierre-sur-Besbre, built by Reverchon and opened in 1990. Its yellow-green track, carried on tall green columns, climbs a high curve before dropping toward dense trees and shrubs. A train of dark cars with orange side panels carries riders up that curve.

The coaster was made by French company Reverchon and first opened to the public in 1990 under the name Grand 8. It was renamed later to match better with the park's animal and wildlife focus.

The name refers to the Siberian tiger, matching Le Pal's identity as a park where animal exhibits and rides share the grounds. The coaster opened in 1990 as Reverchon's first installed coaster, built by the French manufacturer.

The ride is open to all visitors, though younger or smaller passengers may need an adult to go along. Speeds reach up to 40 kilometers per hour, so prepare yourself for the movements and turns during the ride.

Tigre de Sibérie was the first roller coaster Reverchon ever installed, a fact tied to the ride's 1990 debut at Le Pal. The French manufacturer later became known for compact spinning coasters, but this early installation came before that line. Look for the yellow-green track and green columns among the trees.
