Goudurix is a steel roller coaster located Parc Astérix in France. The Vekoma built ride jointly held the world record for the greatest number of inversions upon its opening in 1989. The record was lost in 1995 to Dragon Khan in Spain. It is one of only two coasters in the world (the other being Ninja at Six Flags over Georgia) to feature a butterfly element[1]. In 2007, theming was added to the station in the form of a wooden Viking boat. Goudurix is located at the bottom of the park, facing Tonnerre de Zeus. It was also repainted from its previous white track with blue supports to yellow and red track with grey supports. The ride is one of the parks main attractions along with the Tonnerre de Zeus.
