During a documentary helmed by TF1 on May 20, 2018, Parc Astérix's head of construction Frédéric Dubosc explicitly stated that, "To be honest we are currently working on a magnetic launch coaster".
Continuing on this revelation, Dubosc cited Taron at Phantasialand as the park's inspiration, an Intamin launch coaster that had debuted two years earlier and performed extraordinarily well.
[4][5] On November 15, 2018, Intamin and park operator Compagnie des Alpes officially unveiled the unnamed launch coaster at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida.
[9][10] The full environmental impact assessment became publicly available in September 2020, detailing the construction schematics, budgets, and timeline of the coaster, set to be named Toutatis.
[13] In July 2022, project manager Damien Thibault revealed in an interview that the coaster would be accompanied by the addition of Chez Gyrofolix, a Nebulaz attraction from Italian manufacturer Zamperla.
Plunging down the top hat's 101° drop, riders make a quick turn into a large Zero-g stall, exiting through a left hand turnaround.
Riders complete the return trip through a trio of airtime hills – one straight, one twisted, and one fully banked to the side – before leading to a figure-8 turn overhead of the queue and underneath the top hat, which chiefly contains a heartline roll inversion.
