THE
CESAR'S CHALLENGE : ATTRACTION EVENT TO THE ASTERIX PARK
In
a camp of drive near Rome, César worries : it cruelly misses
secret agents for a very special
and very risky mission: to infiltrate the village of irreducible and
to allow the imperial army to conquer this unsubdued ground. For the
glory of Rome… It was without counting on the mischievous presence
of our Gallic accomplices! The visitors of all the regions are thus
encouraged to take part in the tests of recruitment to become “centurion
of elite” in an special unit and to be likely thus to become a
secret agent. Curriculum vitae required in order to infiltrate incognito
the village of Astérix : to be courageous, valiant, combative
and to successfully gain the 4 interactive challenges launched by César
which will plunge the visitors in a new way in the middle of the data
base!
The
César's Challenge innovates on all the plans. This completely
new attraction from its history,
its scenography, its duration (approximately 20 minutes) uses a modernity
of point, at the technological level as artistic to offer as well to
the irreducible visitors, the full one with feelings. Thus, for the
first time, since the creation of the park, the visitors are plunged
in the middle of the data base thus finding all humor specific to the
universe of Astérix with the many characters emblematic including
our 2 hero Astérix, Obélix, the César emperor and
well of others…
