SOS Tournevis is a steel kiddie roller coaster located at Parc Astérix in Plailly, Hauts-de-France, France.

History

When the ride first opened in 1990, it was known as Trans'Arverne. For the 2001 season, the attraction was moved to a new location in order to make room for Trace du Hourra. Two years later, it would be renamed Périférix. In 2012, the coaster was renamed SOS Numérobis.

During the 2015-2016 off-season, the majority of the ride's track was replaced.

For the 2024 season, the coaster was renamed SOS Tournevis to avoid confusion with the new Tour de Numérobis.
