I Went To The MOST FRENCH Theme Park With My FRENCH FRIENDS And It was FRENCH-TASTIC Parc Asterix

[@yvopost2472]

The comics are not only loved in France but also other countries in Europe like The Netherlands!

[@swnagas2468]

It should be the law that you hang out with these friends whenever you're in France. Love it❤

[@juliusmeindl2031]

In all over Europe, kids grow up with Asterix and Obelix ❤ 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

[@toribradford151]

It looks like you had a great time. I love when Jimmy, Ludovic, and Ines join you in your videos.

[@provostparkpass]

I do too

[@cheerfulcupcake]

yay! As an American raised on Asterix & Obelix, the American is funnier than the English... the Druid is Getafix, the Chief is Vitalstatistix, the dog is Dogmatix, Fishmonger is Unhygenix, the blacksmith is Fullyotomatix...and the hot chick is Panacea! LOL! I went to Parc Asterix and DLP in early June '22, a week before you did, Chris! I speak some French and kow all the Asterix stories, so I laughed and rode ALL the rides, lol they sell the Zeus ducky undies somewhere there! The Pegasus Express is supposed to be like the subway or transportation system, with maps, flight times and getting sent away backwars by Medusa! Gret projections in that one! I'm SO glad you got to experience it with lovers of Asterix! Yay!

[@wendyworobey9363]

I love your French friends! They are so much fun!

[@matthewhildebrandt1901]

What a fun video! I just love Ludovic, Jimmy and Inez. I was laughing so much. Thank you for sharing your friends with us again, Chris!

[@MaryTatarelli]

Jimmy and Chris re enacting the Tacky tacky was hilarious.

[@suzyq5865]

I love it when you are with your French Friends! Jimmy is so animated! You need to do more videos with them…almost as good as when Oprah and Gail went on a Yosemite camping trip…

[@infin8um]

Even though we share a border, I keep forgetting that the States is a different culture. In Canada, I loved Asterix & Obelisk as a kid! It would be a blast seeing them in real life!

[@d.m.barnes9445]

I’m from Alabama and lve been a fan of Asterisk and Obelisk for a long time! Ive collected comics for decades and i found them thru a comic shop.

[@Basauri.48970]

Sorry if I seem blunt but I can't imagine you'd be that familiarised with these comics either, seeing that you couldn't even spell their names right :) ​@@d.m.barnes9445

[@Basauri.48970]

Once thing I've noticed watching this channel is that this guy is particularly uncultured (he didn't even seem to recognise the Manneken Pis in this video). Maybe unfair to judge everyone in the States by his shortcomings? I want to believe he's not representative of the average American.

[@infin8um]

@@Basauri.48970 I'm going to presume that you're trolling. Not knowing the existence of a French comic is obviously no indication of being "uncultured". I grew up in an area where Beano & Dandy and Asterix were around 50 years ago, others didn't. Chris has specific knowledge you or I are unlikely to have.. that is the way people work. Intellectual snobbery should never be mistaken for "culture".

[@Undrave]

I'd love to go to the park myself but I'm not big into roller coasters :p

[@frankiemoi]

Fun fact…the “old” Disney channel back in the 80s showed the Asterix & Obelix movies! I loved them! Of course, they were in English. 😉 My dad had some of the comic books as well so I was introduced to these characters at a very young age and instantly fell in love. I had no idea that I would later on live in France for a few years and learn French. Sadly, I never got to go to Parc Asterix though. I’m glad you got to experience it, Chris! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@Undrave]

They have a few of the movies on Tubi nowadays! I know hey have Mansion of the Gods, one of the newer ones! It's pretty good and you should give it a shot!

[@dankryst]

On Disney plus in uk

[@Mypurpose404]

I really love that after a year you still hang out with your friends you met at Disneyland Paris. They are all so fun and wonderful and I’m so happy for your friendship and videos with them!

[@isabo3556]

Asterix and Obelix is the best comic series there is. As a Dutch person, I didn't know there was a theme park about it. I find that the cartoon movie Asterix and Cleopatra is very funny when watched in French (with English subtitles). Thanks for showing this.

[@TaniaBlackmore]

Growing up in New Zealand we had Asterix comics in our schools. So I know all the characters and loved reading them as a child ❤ I’m sorry some of you missed out in America!

[@susannebrown1860]

We were there in December! Growing up in Europe Asterix was a big part of my childhood and I loved the books. Honestly, a lot of the humor comes from puns in the character names and cultural assumptions and doesn't translate well into English, especially for American audiences that don't know what they are making fun of. But as a kid in 1980s Germany, Asterix was the best.

[@randolphfriend8260]

When I was growing up, THAT was my favorite comic strip in our local newspaper (Tulsa, OK). I was very sad when they quit printing it. I am glad that you found friends to tag along, break the language barrier for you, & enjoyed it SO much. MY kind of people! 🎉 💙 💜 🎉

[@Davidoneill1967]

The bobsleds are built by Mack rides , the same same family (The Macks) own Europa park , you probably seen all the photos of them on the walls in the europa park hotels . The macks are huge in the industry , stardust racers at epic universe is Mack built along with others there . The factory is 20 mins from Europa park

[@yaelhoefs4791]

Asterix and Obelix are read everywhere in Europe. My father loves them and I always read the comics when I was (school)sick. Loved them as well, they are really funny.

[@MrLordifreak]

Actually the prototype for Velocicoaster was "Taron" at Phantasialand Germany which I was hoping you would check out aswell! 😃 Said coaster at Parc Asterix, Toutatis, just opened a year ago whereas Taron already opened in 2016! Compared to Europa Park Phantasialand is way smaller but impressively immersive on a Disney or Universal level! Y'all should definitely visit Phantasialand at some point! 😍

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Yeah Phantasialand is my favourite park and we've done asterix, the euro Disney parks, most things in the UK and last week Europa Park.

[@AndreasScout]

I love Asterix and Obelix comics. I have even signed pen drawings from the original creators. France and Belgium have an incredible vibrant comic book and independent artist scene. Thank you so much for showing this wonderful park.

[@Cornberry]

I’m very glad to see the French friends again so soon!

[@pegedey1291]

I had trouble picking my favorite part...but when you and Jimmy recreated the ride especially the end😂😂😂😂! What nice people you shared this with! Did Miles and Amanda take a rest day?

[@provostparkpass]

They did.

That performance of the coaster ride was amazing! Made me smile.

[@juniperdog5523]

I grew up reading Asterix in English in western Canada. It was/is very popular, along with Tintin.

[@Harrypjotter7]

The comics and the movies always made me laugh so hard.

[@warrengilson1835]

My Australian childhood included Asterix comics - every new title always the highest demand in school libraries. The funny names are the best!!

[@rubenl2518]

You made really a nice and informative video about Parc Astérix! Although you of course couldn't show everything, you covered a lot of important things to know about the park. Thank you so much. And big thumbs up to your friends Jimmy, Inês and Ludovic for guiding you and introducing you so well to Parc Astérix and the world of Astérix. A pity it was such a rainy day, but hope you had a great day.

[@sylvie797]

When I grew up in Germany in the 80s, my uncle would read Asterix comics and I read a lot of them myself. I didn't know there was a whole Asterix theme park! Very cool.

[@carolinekho7353]

Yay! Reunion with Chris and Ludovic- love it!!

[@tugweltp]

Ludovic! The unsung hero of the channel.

[@paulg2132]

I like Inez! I loved how she screamed on the bobsled ride.

[@aafke9916]

Asterix is not only popular in French but also in other European country’s like The Netherlands and Belgium. It’s like with Mickey Mouse, almost every kid grew up with Asterix. And the Park is amazing. I love this park so much that it is one of my 3 favorite parks in Europe. 1. DLP 2. Europapark 3. Parc Asterix.

[@heatherangellight8558]

Oh my gosh! We are only 1/2 way through but we are having so much fun watching you four together! We are laughing so hard! I love when you ask “what is her name?” and they all answer so you can’t understand it at all. Just love watching you four have such a fun time together!!!! Merci for showing us this fun park with these three amazing and fun friends!! ❤

[@eddievalentine1448]

I was born and raised in Paris but now live in California and went to asterix with my best friend growing up I have great memories from those days Thank you Chris for this video I had a blast watching

[@nikedoesthings]

I am Dutch, and I grew up on reading my dad's and uncles' Asterix and Lucky Luke comic books. I learned a lot about the Roman empire and aside from it being super funny comic books, you also learn a lot since the basis is actual history.

I loved these comics, most started started with blurb re: a tiny village in Gaul and ended with a fight followed by a banquet aka booze up LOL I even think I've read all of them 😊 I'd prefer Asterix and Obelix over Southpark but I'm Australian and older LOL

Ahhh the Asterix comics were my childhood! Didn't grow up with Disney cartoons, I was getting through all the Asterix books from the library! You're selling this park to me... I'd need to remind myself of the comics first!

[@BelindaFranco-c6z]

CHRIS, you look like you just had an amazing time with your friends. We may not have been able to ride the rides with you. But but we were there with you in spirit and laughing. I didn’t see Amanda and Miles. I hope everything’s OK and they enjoyed themselves doing something different. And as usual, CHRIS, you make me teary-eyed when you talk to us with the encouraging words thank you so much.. enjoy your video.

[@ConnieIsMijnNaam]

The Asterix comics are available in most European languages and very popular. I am Dutch and 59 yrs old and have read these comics as a child. It’s so funny to see these friends try to let you in on the world of Asterix and Obelix.

[@Cornberry]

Since we're saying goodbyes in different languages... Sayonara is also a more permanent or long-term kind of goodbye, just like adieu. It's like "farewell", so for casual goodbyes usually you'd say something like "ja ne (see you)" or "mata ne (see you later)"!

[@Undrave]

Asterix is a classic! It's sold in 111 languages ALL over the world! Last book came out last Fall, Asterix and the White Iris, and it sold five million copies before the end of the year and was the highest selling BOOK in the country. The total number of Asterix books sold worldwide, since 1959, has probably breached 390 millions by now. Asterix in Britain is one of my favorite, both as a book and an animated movie! :D

[@mheltzel1079]

Greate video. Well done! You took the chalenge, and you nAIld it !!! (Just like the Matterhorn maccarone chalenge) Every sign was in french, every spoken word was in french. If you don't know the commic books, you don't even see the jokes. In the beginning you seem to be lost and struggeling. Later on you loosened up, and .... fun with friends. It is also nice to see your friends involved. And to know them a little bit. ( for how long is The bold and the beautifull running on american tv ?) They realy help you to make the "show". They do funny things. They have an opinion about the rides, the food the themeing. Small talk like: one of your friends asks if you seen his backpack. It make it less a commercial and more like: me, the viewer. is with you guys, a day in a theme park. The core content of your video is (traveleing to ) theme park info. You do that extremly well. But i've seen video's of you, and now and then this guy pops up. (that's weird... is he just annoying ??) Much later it becomes clear he is part of your group. (and has his own channel) Those video's have a complete different vibe. You are an entertainer, you are a storyteller by nature. Well done. ts 46: 46 well done 50:57 fun with friends 1:01:20Jmmy's super voice. (superbe voix Jimmy)

[@nancyannrhinehart4718]

Chris. Park Asterix reminds me of Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain and the old Santa's Village in the forest. The rides looked like what we have in Southern California. Your friends were Fantastically French with a touch of Amazingly American. Enjoy the explanation of what the different villages that just around the corner. Happy Blessings to you and yours.

[@drumphil21]

I loved this! I was so happy to see your French friends in the background when the video started. It just made my day!! So fun! So Gouda!! Canoe believe it?

[@terrancehiggs4917]

Knobels in Pennsylvania has a ride called Flying Turns. It is a trackless roller coaster. Beautifully built in a beautiful park. can easily be done in one day. No admission, you only pay for what you want to ride. Great for older folks who don't ride and want to watch their children/grandchildren.

[@Daveandjeannerose]

Hello Chris. The Village is definitely interesting. So many fun things to see! The wild pig was cool, but my favorite was the Comic Shop and the water ride with the Ludavick Princess and the characters- Bacon, and the worst singer characters! It really is a different kind of park, but fun. Certainly an experience you will never forget. Thanks for sharing! 💖🤗💖

[@ladynigma2733]

I’m from Idaho and grew up watching the movie The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. It’s great! There is some in English. Definitely recommend to watch.

[@JenniferS-b5s]

This was such a fun video and so glad you had a great day with your friends! 😁 The wild boar was hilarious! 😂

[@aislingbooks]

For some reason you remind me of Michael Keaton in your way of taking the mick while still being fun, kind and generous with your sense of presence. Thank you for being you and showing us Parc Asterix, which BTW was the first comic I read when immigrating to the Netherlands 25 years ago. I've never been to this park, though, and will now have to go visit ... but will also stay clear of the takkie-takkie, hurky-jerky rides. Cheers 😅

“True Lies” has Tom Arnold in it. That is a great movie . Tom Arnold was friend of my brother. 👍❤️ I never had the opportunity to meet Robin Williams.❤️😇 another great comedic actor.

I know at least one of those bobsled type rides in the US!

Sayonara also implies a permanent (or at least very prolonged) parting. Matane [mah-tah-nay] is "see you later" and more appropriate unless you expect to likely never see someone again.

I went here upon your recommendation when I went to the olympics and it was awesome. Best roller coasters. I hit up almost all the roller coasters. I did the wooden roller coaster and it was just painful, I tried to stand up, my organs were being crushed and shifted in my body. I did not like the wooden coaster here. Ticky tacky is an undertstatement. Did the Gaulic feast at the end of the day, met all the characters, got stung by a wasp. Still worth it. Great recommendation though, many thanks to your friends for inviting you.
