It was like Megaphobia which around 1996-2000 was amazing (from personal experience), CCI's just don't age well - and I can see TDZ prob has same issue!

When did we do that CF Live to Asterix... was it 2017? I thought it was running pretty well then to be honest. Not the best, but by no means the worst. A simple retracking I think would be fine, no need for a full-on RMC conversion here.
Having said that, if RMC did get their hands on it, I'd be over there like a shot!

What was the competition in those days though? I don't think Europe's woodie game is particularly exceptional even now, so a poll isn't really the inspiration I'm looking for.
I'd rather hear some fond memories from people who loved it. Which moments on the ride have lost their mojo.

You may have a point here.
As for my personnel experience, I can't remember exactly the frist time I rode Zeus, but il might be between 2005 and 2010, so when the ride was only 10 years old approximatively, and it was fab ! It has just huge airtimes and a great sense of speed, while also giving some stong lateral G's. And even if you were a bit shaken on this, it was on the good side. I mean, there was some rattle, as you would expect from a classic woodie.
It was very enjoyable at the time.
Last time I rode it was in August. The first bit was great, the retracked one. But as it is only the first drop and the that follows, the major part of the ride was painful. Maybe the fact to be drenched by the rain on the course didn't help, but it was too rough to be pleasant.
It's a shame because it's a long coaster, with a very decent drop, and full of airtimes and laterals, all you need for a good ol'woodie !

Would be very happy with CGI. When did you go on it, my memories are from 2015 and 2008.
Also, this must be said - the statue including his underwear has got to stay.

I've never ridden it, but I think either GCI re tracking or RMC would be great options.
With their last major thrill coaster being added in 2012, I can see the delay to the Intamin being an immediate call to various manufactures to get something going. They know that adding both rides would majorly boost the park from what it already is, and Zeus is already built so there's no need to file an ecological permit. If RMC or GCI can get that short of a turnaround, it seems like a great business move.

They should give it the GhostRider treatment.

Reading the CDA financial statements, they have everything planned out nicely, and suffered mainly on their ski resorts.
They also noted that all plans for development in the theme parks will continue, as pretty much all of them are bound to contracts and therefore those budgets were already calculated

Que font-ils, par intérêt? S'agit-il simplement d'un simple retour en arrière, ou ajoutent-ils ou modifient-ils des éléments à l'avenir?

Ils n'ajoutent pas de nouveaux éléments qu'ils reculent suivant la disposition actuelle

Also, I can't see the pictures that you posted.

There's some rumours about a full Gravity Group retrack for 2021 (in replacement of the blitz which got delayed) with new trains and some chagements on the layout the main modification might be the complete overhaul/removing of the helix on the left side of the lift hill

Bienvenue à Coasterforce et mecri pour les photos!The Tonnerre de Zeus retracking is progressing!
@Matt N / @CrashCoaster he says it's following the original course, just a retrack.
I'm glad to see this, it could genuinely be one of the very best woodies in Europe with a little TLC.

Oh i'm so sorry. I know it but it's because of my google auto translator
I said that they don't add any new elements they retrack following the current layout of the coaster.
