Futuroscope Theme Park in France celebrates 25 years.
Dance with Robots turned us upside down, back to front, and flung us round and round to the beat of the Bee Gees' Staying Alive. The kids screamed with delight, while all I could think of was the ad about CPR and the likelihood I might need it after the ride. The 2-minute three-armed ride was blessed with some of the shortest queues for the day but once was enough, and we really wanted to try out some of the 4D rides.
Futuroscope in Poitou-Charentes just outside of Poitiers, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with even more rides, such as the new Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) celebrating St.-Exupery's international bestseller. Set in its own parkland and with its own TGV station, numerous on-site hotels, proximity to Poitiers airport (with regular flights to London Stansted), Futuroscope attracts visitors from all over France and the U.K. The park is France's second most visited attraction outside of Disneyland Paris and is open all year-round.
