France 130 Acre Amusement Park
The unique visual theme park, aptly named Parc du Futuroscope, spans over 130 acres of land dedicated to entertaining, and accidentally teaching, the uncountable millions of visitors that visit every year. Built five miles north to the town of Poitiers, in France, Futuroscope was opened to public in 1987 and the park is celebrating twenty years of its existence in 2007. With new exciting attractions added to the park’s already impressive range of visual themes, travellers are sure to have an enjoyable day when they visit.
Being a French theme park, the majority of the attractions are in French but those unable to comprehend the language are catered thru infrared translation headsets which are provided for free if you leave your ID at the desk as a guarantee. There are , however , some attractions that may only be enjoyed in French ; one is The Forest of Dreams, which, in reality, is a laser show so being in French only is not an issue, as dreams are comprehensible in all languages alike.
The attractions use visible and audio is affecting to make you a part of the scene ; the strong hydraulic jacks employed in the chase for Atlantis take you through the lost city at a speedy and you are sucked into the experience with the dome shaped screen around you, producing a 3D world that is made even more plausible with the employment of liquid crystal glasses that give the feel of an enchanting underwater setting.
that’s just one attraction though, Futuroscope holds at least 20 mind boggling, yet excellent shows that give you the sensation of movement while you experience different worlds, whether it is your peril on Akryls or the story of the Dance with robots, you will leave the ride feeling you’ve lived the sensations without having left your seat. The educational side of Futuroscope not only aims at entertaining but also gives us a bigger insight into lives we have not experienced and creates empathy as well ; a voyage into the Dark is this kind of attraction letting you briefly live the life of the visually impaired who concentrate more on the other senses than visible, to gather a feeling of direction.
Set right beside the Futuroscope is The Quality Alteora Hotel which, actually, is a amazing great place for those visiting the park to remain at during their visit. At about 15 minutes drive from the Poitiers airfield, and a short walk from the Futuroscope TGV train station, communing to the hotel as well as the theme park is simple and convenient. The hundred rooms are roomy and offer all modern facilities with the added pleasure of a swimming pool. Your food will be served besides the pool as well , by the La Piscine Resturant. You may also enjoy a game of golf at The Saint Cyr golf Course which is not far either.
