This thrilling attraction is a homage to both space travel and French culture, offering visitors a unique experience as they hurtle through the darkness of a space-themed environment to the vibrant tunes of the French cancan.
The original Eurosat coaster opened in 1989, encapsulated within a large geodesic sphere reminiscent of EPCOT's Spaceship Earth. It quickly became one of the park's signature rides.
