Futuroscope has unveiled its new Mission Bermudes ride, which opens on 28 June as the final phase of the French theme park’s current investment plan.
Mission Bermudes takes visitors on a thrilling rescue adventure to the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, offering spectacular sets, sensory effects and dynamic staging.
The experience takes place on land and water, with guests riding in boat-style hybrid vehicles developed exclusively for Futuroscope in partnership with Mack Rides.
After navigating the Bermuda Triangle and escaping its rapids, guests cross a spacetime portal with a 16-metre-high waterfall at more than 60 km/h, ending their trip with a huge splash.
The launch of Mission Bermudes represents the culmination of Futuroscope’s Vision 2025 plan.
Through this, the park has invested more than €300 million in four major attractions, two themed hotels and the Aquascope water park.
Futuroscope’s €300m investment plan
“[Mission Bermudes] is fully in line with the park’s promise to offer immersive and original adventures that are accessible to all and packed with emotion,” Futuroscope said in a press release.
The biggest and most recent addition to the park is Aquascope, which opened last summer. The €57m water park is a unique concept in the attractions industry, providing an immersive aquatic experience.
Futuroscope CEO Rodolphe Bouin told blooloop in a 2024 interview: “We are currently preparing a new investment plan with our shareholders. But it is too early to talk about it, as nothing has yet been validated.”
Futuroscope, located outside the city of Poitiers, welcomes nearly 2 million visitors every year and houses more than 40 attractions.
