Parc Astérix adopts virtual queues like Walibi Holland
Parc Astérix introduced Filotomatix, a free virtual queue system that let guests reserve rides online for attractions including La Trace du Hourra. Visitors could spend the wait elsewhere and return to the entrance with a QR code.
More context
In August 2020 Parc Astérix introduced Filotomatix, a virtual queue for several major attractions, including the bobsled coaster La Trace du Hourra. Guests booked a ride through a mobile website, waited elsewhere in the park and received a QR code when it was their turn to enter. The system closely resembled Fast Lane at Walibi Holland and was supplied by Accesso. For La Trace du Hourra, the change was less about the ride hardware and more about how visitors experienced the attraction. A long physical queue became a timed digital appointment within the day. That mattered especially in 2020, when parks were looking for ways to spread guests around and reduce crowding in queue lines. Looopings also noted the commercial logic: visitors who are not standing in line have more time to spend in restaurants and shops. The bobsled coaster therefore became part of a broader Compagnie des Alpes experiment in digital queue management and visitor flow.
