OzIris Review Parc Astérix Awesome B&M Inverted Roller Coaster

[@coasterlover2484]

The name Oziris actually comes from one of the Axterix movies, where an illusionist called Iris would hypnotize people into behaving like animals. In the movie, there was a visual gag where a man came out of Iris' temple flying like a bird. In the coaster's storyline, the rider is that man, and they're flying around the area.

I’m glad you’re giving this coaster a lot of love because I don’t hear a lot of people talk about this ride~ very fast paced despite this ride only going 56 mph. Fun fact, OzIris was the first B&M inverted coaster to feature a dive loop.

[@CoasterStudios]

did not know that! Wish I had mentioned that, cause thats definitely one of the moments that adds to its uniqueness

@@CoasterStudios I agree that out of the newer generation B&M inverted coasters, OzIris is the best one, although Banshee and Monster are still very good rides.

[@StamfordBridge]

This coaster was so much more fun than I expected. Never experienced such great swooping drops and hills on an invert.

[@AnimalzyNL]

I really love the layout of this coaster. Very unique and fast paced and that dive loop at the start is epic.

[@gah-kaileung7075]

I have fond memories of doing this ride back in 2017/18 when I was teaching English in Paris! So glad you got to experience it!

[@eddienhp]

Awesome review! This coaster is so cool! Especially it has a cart to put your stuff in while riding!

[@chrisbaete5842]

I love watching your ride reviews, especially when you review the rides I really love as your reviews are spot on. A great video on an incredible B&M coaster

[@samwellard3134]

I believe the reason for the pre drop on older B & M's is to help the chain lift decouple from the chain dog.

[@TripleTSingt]

yeah, on newer ones, the chain speeds up with the train going down the drop. It helps reduce stress on the chain and cuts down on maintenance cost

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@TripleTSingt yeah it’s the same reason why older B&M inverted coasters had those pre drops, to reduce chain stress.

[@rufusc4311]

The designers of the theming clearly either went to Egypt or did their research for this coaster. A lot of this theming reminds me of some of the places I saw in Luxor. For example, the sarcophagus part and the extensive illustrations on the walls resembles the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut has the same starry blue sky on the ceiling (just aged way more 😂). I've ridden Montu and can say that the theming there is very whimsical compared to this and doesn't really show what Egypt has to offer. I'd love to make it to Asterix at some point, this is a great review!

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

For me the zero-g rolls really make it a stand out coaster. They're such a weird shape and nothing like the conventional B&M zero-g rolls, I felt like I was experiencing zero-g as I floated through them! Also I'm surprised you never picked up on the ride op both control panel set up thingy! 😆

[@walzwerkzwerg]

I really overlooked this neat park in the past. Thank you for filling us in. After the 'Coasting Thru Europe' Episode and this review, Parc Astérix is way up on my agenda now - i start practicing my pronounciation of 'Croissant' right now

[@CoasterStudios]

haha! love this!

[@walzwerkzwerg]

@@CoasterStudios I'm happy if I can provide you with a smile once in while as a thank you so much gesture

[@0z3r0]

I rode it back in 2012 and was my favorite coaster instantly. It used to have fog in the tunnel. Oh and imagine Toutatis with as much theming as this wow will be incredible

[@maxhagenauer24]

I thought Montu had really good hemeing but this is just absolutely insane. It gives Velocicoaster vibes in how the coaster raps all the way around that plaza area and you git the big station building right there.

[@justinmillirons4702]

The Egyptian dancing with the mummy reminds me of Steve martin king tut

[@limonscore]

This is one of the most underrated coasters

[@maxhagenauer24]

I don't know how to describe it, it's like a mix of an old and modern B&M Invert. It has a pre drop and floaty zero G roll like Banshee but also has forcefull old-school elements and OTSR. Really interesting.

[@zacg_]

BGT really ought to have a queue like this for Montu. I don't think it would feel redundant with the queue for Cobra's Curse. I think it would serve to just bring that area together more. The theming in thr Egyptian area is some of the best in the park. It would really be cool for Montu to have a more elaborate queue and loading station.

[@YPOC]

2:53 haha yes I remember getting a surprise load of water in the face while standing there lol Excellent coaster overall!

[@Marty_NZ]

Love your footage of this ride. It's still on my list to do, but with Toutatis opening soon it'll be a must do destination. Also, where's Jen with her Talon interruption lol

[@jamalbrown8555]

Oh my goodness this ride looks like so much fun 😊 but i never been on this ride before but it looks fun and awesome Park take care and stay safe.

[@drock13]

I miss the Old Montu color scheme. I’d love to ride this . The theming is everything I wish Montu had

[@2nerdsinhell]

6:25 rip that car 6 wheel cover 😂

[@zodiakw8963]

Oops lol

[@oceanairboy]

5:52 Is legit the strangest thing I've ever seen on a coaster. Those two on the right hand side have their heads turned and are just staring at each other. What is even happening there? 😂 Then there is the kid next to them that looks like he's having a blast and his dad next to him that looks like he's just trying to survive. Lol... But seriously, that staring contest though. 🤔

[@roelgarcia6575]

I think you didn't ride it at the best time. Oziris uses different wheels for the summer. These are more forgiving on the track but do have more roll resistance. If you ride it in like April, it is absolutely hauling. It is much more intense than in the summertime. So I would definetly recommend trying it in spring because then it is probably at its peak performance.

[@CoasterStudios]

very interesting!

[@Lj3D63]

@@CoasterStudios @roelgarcia6575 Totally aggrees, ! I rode it a lot since it's my home park, OzIris runs smoother and faster in summertime bogies configuration : regularely 5 polyurethane and 3 nylon assemblies on winter, and 8 polyurethane assemblies on summer ! Quick glance to the wheels in the station and you know how it will ride ;)

[@stcyrsworld4311]

great review !!!! love this ride.... short yes, compared to raptor at cedar point !!! if you want to understand more the theming, watch the cartoon the twelve tasks of asterix!!! thanks again for your works!!!

[@tygrysm2]

The coaster's theaming is based on a scene from Tweleve tasks of Asterix comic book and movie. Here you have a scene which it is based on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJbNi2WmicZkbtk Asterix and Obelix were tasked by Julius Cesar to complete twelve challenges that only gods would be able to complete in order to prove to the Roman Empire that they are godlike. If they win Ceasar would hand over the Roman Empire to them, if not their village would need to surrender. This was one of their tasks. The whole plot is lightly based on the Twelve Labours of Hercules.

[@skyrushyesminderaserno1150]

Can you review Monster at Grona Lund?

[@CoasterStudios]

yes!

[@kevinbhieey9188]

I'm with you on "modern" B&M inverts, though I don't think it's necessarily about the newness. I didn't really like Banshee, and inverts are my favorite style of coaster. The thrill of an invert is that your body has a much-larger range of motion than any other coaster, so elements feel extremely different from when you are sitting right above the track. A corkscrew on an invert is a completely different sensation than a corkscrew on any other type of coaster, except for maybe a wing coaster. But when an invert is going so fast that it's pushing you back into your seat, you're noticing that sensation way more than any element. OzIris has a top speed of 58mph, similar to Montu's 60. Most inverts go about 50mph, like all the Batmans, both Nemeses and Black Mamba, which may be my current favorite (only in the back row, and it's totally about the theming). The vast majority seem to be in this 50-60mph range. I haven't ridden them all but I've ridden a lot and my two least-favorites are Banshee and Alpengeist, which clock in at 68 and 67. I've ridden them both more than once and they aren't awful rides, there are just far-better coasters in those parks I'd rather ride. Alpengeist is definitely not a newer coaster, so I really think it's more about speed than it is anything else.

[@CoasterStudios]

A lot of good points here!

[@sHiNjEeK]

Woaw Katun isn't in your top 3 EU ? thats very surprising !

[@alphawinnergx9127]

I believe the best invert in France is The Monster at Walygator. Even though it has litterally NO theming AT ALL, it's really intense as it's a clone of Raptor at CP without the mcbr. However, I am serious when I say no theming. This coaster was relocated from Japan, and it's just plopped down in a field. The queue is underneath the platform, and there isn't even a roof on the station.

[@AwesomestParks]

Kid: mom can we have Montu? Mom: we have Montu at home sweetie Also mom:

[@zodiakw8963]

The only similarities in oziris and montu are that they are inverts, egyptian themed (oziris having much more theming) and same colors. Those two coasters are pretty different so idk if you should have used that meme

Lessssssssss gooooooooooooooo!!!

[@avrage_tax_evader]

yes agreed

I agree that Montu is better, more ambitious and more amplitude, it's a giant version and for that it's so cool ! But Oziris gave me my passion for rollercoasters, it will always be in a good place on my rankings !

[@popcanstudios9081]

This is my Favourite invert in the world, better than Black Mamba or Nemesis but I’ve never experienced Montu so there’s still one big one left for me to hit.

[@devdevthrills]

Hot take: Montu is the most boring invert. Doesn’t do anything and is very overhyped. Give me a Batman clone all day over it. OzIris looks fantastic, hope it rides better than Montu!

[@zodiakw8963]

You should definitely try it if you can, butter smooth, and pretty inversions, oh and the theming is so good

[@devdevthrills]

@@zodiakw8963 I definitely want to! Hoping I can plan a trip there in 2024.

[@carsunlimited5279]

one of my biggest flop coaster, i expected so much but its really not that good, good layout, but just no enough speed and forces...way too slow and too smooth, you can feel that it hardly pass each inversion compare to a Katun or Monster walygator that just pack so much forces through each inversion, oziris clearly doesn't worth to take a plane and test it...oziris is like a big black mamba, no punch but good layout...

[@chrisgardiner2215]

eh just to let you all know this "theming" is SATANIC

[@triple7marc]

It’s Egyptian theming.

[@zodiakw8963]

U a little stupid, I know everything about asterix et obelix cuz I used to watch it all the time when I was young, the theming’s clearly egyptian, and the lore is a certain guy named osiris (just like the god) that did hypnosis, watch the show to understand

[@CancelHappiness]

Are there any coasters that are actually better in the middle row?

[@CoasterStudios]

Good question! Personally, I don’t think I would say so…

[@fredfredfredfredfredfred]

The middle row has the strongest g forces in valleys. The middle row can be the most intense row of a coaster. For example I got a greyout on Hyperion in the middle row, but the airtime was better in the front and the back.
