Fraispertuis City is a family-oriented Wild West-themed amusement park located in the Vosges region of France. It features a high density of attractions designed specifically for families, ranging from gentle carousels to extreme thrill rides. The park is home to 'Timber Drop', a roller coaster notable for its 113-degree beyond-vertical drop, which previously held a world record. Guests navigate an immersive environment modeled after 19th-century American frontier towns. The park emphasizes its independence, as it is owned and operated by the same family since its founding in 1966. Its layout is structured to integrate natural forest terrain into the amusement zones. It offers several water-based attractions and interactive experiences suited for various age groups. The park actively maintains a distinct western aesthetic throughout all common areas and dining facilities. It is situated in the municipality of Jeanménil, near Rambervillers.
