What visitors can expect in the new Asterix Park

Bus line to run all year round in future

The operators also see significant room for improvement in terms of public transport connections. Until now, the park has mainly been easily accessible by car and by bus line 105 - but only during the season. In future, according to the operators, it should run all year round. Discussions are already underway with the region.

Target: 900,000 visitors a year

Belantis was opened in 2003 and is located in the south of Leipzig, not far from the highway and between Berlin and Dresden. The park welcomes several hundred thousand guests every year. However, comparatively little has been invested in recent years, it was said.

Compagnie des Alpes is one of the largest amusement park operators in Europe. The new Belantis operator is focusing on growth. In terms of the number of Asterix comics sold, Germany is the second-largest market directly behind France - and also the second-largest European market for theme parks. The potential of the location is huge.

In the long term, the park could reach up to 900,000 visitors a year, it said. By comparison, Germany's largest theme park, Europapark Rust, has around six million visitors per year.
