Parc Astérix in France has unveiled a major extension to its Greek-themed area, set to open in spring 2027.
The expansion will add two new family attractions, a children's play area, and additional food and beverage options.
The development will draw on Greek mythology and traditions, with new theming throughout the expanded area.
Parc Astérix said the expansion would "push the boundaries of immersion and the visitor experience", promising to "extend the adventure beyond the attractions and offer visitors of all ages a welcoming and exotic escape".

The two new family attractions will be Tournikotis Tournikotas and La Flotte de Poséidon. Tournikotis Tournikotas will feature two drop towers, taking visitors on a series of successive ascents and descents.
La Flotte de Poséidon will invite guests aboard one of eight boats, which spin and rise around a central pillar before plunging into the waves of Mount Olympus.
The two rides will have a combined capacity of 800 people per hour, helping to improve visitor flow. Younger guests will also be able to enjoy L’Aire de Jeu d’Ulysse, a new themed play area.
The expansion will also include La Table de Dionysos, a 460-seat restaurant with 350 indoor seats and an 110-seat outdoor terrace.

Two new kiosks will open alongside the restaurant. Chez Nikos Bouldeglas will serve artisanal ice cream, while Elis will offer slushies. The existing Taverne de Dionysos will also be renamed La Taverne de Poséidon, completing the changes to the area's dining offer.
Elsewhere, Parc Astérix is continuing to re-track its wooden rollercoaster Tonnerre 2 Zeus. Half the track has been replaced, with work due to finish before the 2027 season.
The park will also open its fourth hotel, the 300-room L’Odyssée, on 26 March 2027, with a design inspired by ancient caravanserais.
