PRESS RELEASE

PEUR SUR LE PARC:  MORE THAN HALF A MILLION VISITORS ACROSS 20 DAYS

PARC ASTERIX HITS A HISTORIC NEW RECORD FOR VISITORS OVER HALLOWEEN

Peur sur le Parc 2025 brings to a close a historic Halloween season for Parc Astérix, with attendance figures reaching record levels since the event was first launched. In just 20 days of opening and 12 sold-out evening sessions, more than 557,500 visitors enjoyed the Halloween festivities. This success confirms Peur sur le Parc as one of Europe's most iconic and unmissable Halloween events, renowned for its innovation, creativity and the quality of its immersive experience. This represents an increase on last year's figures, cementing the park's position as the second most visited amusement park in France, with nearly 3 million visitors.

PEUR SUR LE PARC : EUROPE’S MUST-VISIT HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE

Buoyed by an ambitious programme and enthusiastic crowds, the 2025 edition of Peur sur le Parc broke all previous attendance records, confirming Parc Astérix as one of France and Europe's top destinations for Halloween. This success was made possible by the dedication and expertise of the park's dedicated team.

The 2025 edition, more spectacular than ever, made a lasting impression with the appearance of a new terror zone: the Camp of Steel Blades, an abandoned domain ruled by the fearsome Brakkor.

Visitors were able to discover two brand new experiences that were among the most terrifying ever created by the park:

●        The Last Blaze, a mechanical hellscape ruled over byheat, metal, and The Steel Blades,

●        Brakkor – The Confrontation, a show combining stunts and dance, where the final boss faces down his worst enemies. 

The five must-see haunted houses also contributed to this success, notably The Infernos of Pompeii, a truly terrifying journey into the heart of the cursed city, as well as The Tomb of the Gods, The Catacombs, The Wrath of Anubis, Lost Mission and The Streets of Paris.

Each evening ended with a grand finale featuring a sound and light show on the façade of OzIris, followed by the legendary Monster Parade, led by the Chainsaw Men.
