Le Bioscope
Former theme park in Ungersheim, France
Le Bioscope is a former theme park at Ungersheim, in the Upper Rhine (the Haut-Rhin département) of France. The 12½-hectare[1](31 acre) park – described in a European Commission 2004 press release[2] as a place where visitors learn about health, life and the environment "whilst having fun" – is laid out in concentric circles, a design by Frédéric Jung meant to evoke the shockwaves caused by the impact of the Ensisheim meteorite, which struck nearby in 1492.[3]
The Alsace region first proposed the park in 1994.[2] Bright White, a York-based firm, was responsible for "development, engineering and project management of the design phase",[4] with the idea of meeting the park's goal to educate people "to take responsibility for their own actions with respect to equilibrium with the environment."
The park closed in September 2012.
