Mirapolis was a theme park which was opened in 1987 in Courdimanche, in the city of Cergy-Pontoise. It was one of the first French theme parks, and its themes were the tales and the great novels of France. The park was dominated by a huge statue of Gargantua, inside which an attraction, a dark ride, was installed. Carlos was the park's celebrity spokesman. The park was closed in 1991 because it never turned any profit.
