Don't worry the volcanoes are extinct! EuroTripTips has a great article on these volcanoes and the centre for volcanoes in France: Vulcania. Vulcania, the "European Park of Volcanism", is a park with a Volcano theme situated in Saint-Ours-les-Roches, Auvergne, France. Volcanoes, not volcano, because it’s actually a chain of 48 different cones and domes. The chain is about 40 kilometers long, and is located right in the heart of the country. The reason why you’ve never heard of them? They’re dormant, and have been since 4000 years B.C. – but that’s not to say they lack interest. At the centre you can enjoy:
- Dragon Ride: a 5D experience, including dynamic seats, into the natural fault hidden under the volcanoes, and its mysterious creatures. It even simulates a 2G acceleration, and truly scary effects!
- Magma Explorer: My personal favorite! The whole room you’re in is taken to the heart of a volcano, who suddenly erupts. Bumpy ride ahead!
- Misson Toba: Experience the eruption of an Indonesian supervolcano 74,000 years ago, on board a hot-air balloon. The best part? The 180 degrees screen!
- The Volcanoes Awakening: Even though the French volcanoes are dormant… what if they actually came to life, and erupted? What if Clermont-Ferrand was in the line of fire? This room will tell you, and make you feel, exactly what would happen.
- The Earth’s Rage: Mother Earth has several ways to express her anger. Whether you opt for a tornado, earthquake, or even an asteroid, you’ll be prepared for anything!
