Welcome to the Futuroscope | M6 | 66 minutes

They don’t talk about simple rides here, but rather of multi-sensorial experiences”. Each year they attract 1.7 million visitors and make the Futuroscope the 3^rd most popular theme park in France. And yet 15 years ago, this leader among French theme parks was on the verge of going bust. But that was forgetting the limitless energy of Dominique Hummel, its charismatic CEO since 2003. His strategy? Constant renewal. And to achieve that requires no less than 10 million Euros invested every year to keep the original concept alive: nourish the heart, the body and the brain with creations that are ambitious on both the artistic and the technological level. A sum that must pay dividends, especially during the Easter vacation, the second busiest period of the year. For Dominique and his teams, tension is at its peak: will the new show, created in collaboration with the Cirque du Soleil, win over the press and the visitors? Will the new season’s recruits be up to the task? While star mascots have to guarantee the entertainment, others, in the shops, will be urging families to overspend their planned budgets. From the kitchens of the theme-based restaurants, to the frantic meanderings of “number 5000″, the park’s Mister Security, we are witness to all the excitement of the big days at this park that is unique in the world.”
