SOS Tournevis
SOS Tournevis is a small family rollercoaster at Parc Astérix, and can be found in the theme park's Egyptian section.
The ride is a medium sized Zierer Tivoli, with a long wooden steam engine themed train.
The track weaves through a lightly wooded area, and riders are usually treated to multiple laps. It's not as uncomfortable as some kid-friendly coasters, but there is a lot of vibration all the way around.
SOS Tournevis is the smallest of Parc Astérix's rollercoasters, and while not particularly exciting is well pitched for younger riders.
