Goudurix at Parc Astérix Comparison 2024 - 2025 (Old Trains vs New Trains) (No Copyright) (4K60)

As you may already know, Goudurix got new trains for the 2025 season, which I got to experience on the park's pre-opening day. The new trains have much more comfortable seats, and generally make the ride a bit better, but they outline the really bad seactions like the exit of the butterfly and the batwing. From what I've heard, they also make the airtime less intense on the hill after the loop, and the airtime on the drop feels maybe a bit less intense? I didn't notice a big difference either way. The two vidoes start at a different moment because the new trains climb the lift hill slower, so I made them leave the lift hill at the same time. The 2024 video was filmed in June, and yet it already seems to be going faster with the new trains in March, on a cooler day, with shorter operating hours and only one train. The new trains run faster because MK-1212 chassis are heavier than the original MK-1200 chassis that Goudurix used to have. I just hope it doen't become too much when it warms up. It also got a partial repaint and jet wash during the off-season, which is always nice. Did you ride Goudurix before or after this change? If so, what was your experience? Tell me in the comments below.
