Small News From The Theme Park Industry

Toutatis at Parc Asterix is currently closed. Translation of the announcement...

TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF TOUTATIS

Dear visitors,

A disruption in the power grid caused a technical problem on the Toutatis attraction, which is currently temporarily closed.

Our technical teams and those of the manufacturer Intamin are carrying out the necessary operations to ensure its return to operation.

We are doing everything possible to ensure a recovery as quickly as possible and thank you for your understanding.

Police responded to Wiener Prater on Saturday night after a man sustained injuries in a knife attack. Paramedics treated the man on the scene for stab wounds to his leg before transporting him to a local hospital for further treatment. Witnesses were not able to give investigators relevant details about the incident, and the victim said he did not know the person who attacked him. Source (in German)
