Futuroscope

Futuroscope is a French theme park featuring several IMAX 3D and 4D cinemas along with other attractions and shows. Patrice and I bought a two-day ticket to the park which is located about three hours south of Paris. I was interested in photographing the futuristic architecture which we'd seen several times from the highway,


 
but we weren't sure if the rides - such as the Lapins Crétins (Raving Rabbids (sic)  and their time machine - might be somewhat childish.

But no. We had a great time! We laughed a lot as we were strapped into seats and then subjected to rapid twists, turns, puffs of air and water splashing in our faces as we hurtled through a 3D universe.
Dancing with robots
We also enjoyed the Aerobar where we drank a beer with our feet dangling 100 feet in the air.



What a great view from up above!
I loved the colors after dark, too.
