Vol D'lcare(Flight of Icarus in English) is a still roller coaster located in the France theme park, Parc Astérix. The roller coaster opened in 1994 and was manufactured by Zierer. Currently it's one of only two out of the model line, the Hornet.
The coaster has a capacity of 1,150 people per hour occupy an area of 54 m x 35 m. Five trains can operate on the track and carried to the top by a booster wheel lift. Each train is made up with two cars with two rows and each seat is secured with a lap bar. The hull of the trains imitates the woven wickers and is furnished with two wings.
The name and theme of the attraction refers to the myth of Icarus who flew with wings made up of feathers and wax in Greek mythology. Getting too close to the sun, the wax melted and Icarus sank into the see.
The queue - with its labyrinth appearence, is a refrence to the myth and was build to resemble the place of Knossos.
At the end of 2016, part of the structure of the attraction was dismantled in order to refurbish the rails for the 2017 season.
