==== Queue and Pre-show: ====
The queue for the ride is located in a cave. Guests enter through a door with an "Exit" sign above it, which leads to another room where they see Pat and Stan on television screens. They are watching TV when suddenly their screen goes blank, so they decide to go outside and find out what happened. After this scene ends, guests move into the next room where there is another set of televisions showing Pat & Stan's adventures from previous episodes of the show. After this, guests enter a room with another set of televisions showing Pat & Stan's adventures from previous episodes of the show.
==== The ride: ====
The ride is located in an Egyptian pyramid and features scenes based on various episodes from the series. Guests board vehicles that resemble mine carts and travel through different rooms where they see animatronic versions of characters from Pat et Stanley as well as projections onto screens throughout each scene to make it appear like there are more characters than there actually are.
== Trivia: ==
The ride is the first dark ride to be based on a French animated series and was also the first attraction at Parc Astérix to feature animatronics. It replaced an older version of the same ride that opened in 1989, which featured only projections onto screens throughout each scene instead of animatronic characters as well as scenes from different episodes than those used in this version.
