Futuroscope

Bonsoir!

Futuroscope, a theme park dedicated to the moving image, has been a firm favourite of the French exchange over the years and today was no exception. For those who had been before, they were thrilled to discover this year's nouveautés, such as a 4D cinema experience of flying through space and time (le voyage extraordinaire!). They also had la chance because the park was virtually empty and this meant no queues for rides.

For first timers, including our Year 8s and Mr Spurdell, the 'dance with the robots' ride went down a treat. As the name suggests, during this wild ride electro pop plays full volune whilst a giant robot hand throws you around and upside down at a maddening speed.

We had almost no upsets, until the coach had pulled out of the vicinity and Abby realised she had left her phone in a toilet cubicle...(not another one!). Luckily it was safely returned to her and we were only 10 minutes late back to the collège.

All in all, there was something for everyone and we had a wonderful day of fun and sun.

Don't worry, we'll put them to work again tomorrow as they are spending the morning in school!

A plus!
