In this photo update, we share our experiences from a true bucket list park visit. It is hard to describe Futuroscope, located just outside of Poitiers, France. It's some strange mix of Epcot's Future World, Universal's screen ride prowess and Toronto's Ontario Place. The park is jam packed with world class theater based attractions and futuristic art installations. And yes, it is almost all completely presented in the French language. Some highlights included the Intamin special effects coaster Objectif Mars and the Dynamic Attractions spinning motion theater Chasseurs de Tornades.
Futuroscope is without a doubt a top tier theme park. The best way to explain is to show you in pictures, so away we go!

The park has an Aerobar. This was the first ride of its kind we had seen. It's a bar / observation tower hybrid.

You get 10 or so minutes to go up and have a drink in the sky.

Aerobar is not the only observation tower at Futuroscope.
