Anybody ever been , thoughts etc.

Yes, but neigh on 10 years ago now. Back then it was fairly Future-istic I suppose but I would wonder has it dated. There were some unusual 'rides' (if you could call them that) but I dont remember being blown away by too many things. What kind of price are the tickets? if under E20 I would say yes, the park itself is lovely. Anything more than that I would skip.
On a side note, the city of Poitiers is beautiful for rambling around (old narrow, cobbled streets) and relaxing with a coffee and a pastry.

Thanks Boarddotie, your right Poitiers is a great spot for walks etc, they even have 3 mapped out in coloured lines around the streets. I am over that way round 3 times a year so I know Poiters quite well, your description of Futuroscope is kinda how I imagined it to be, I always thought you would need to be French to get the most out of it. Not sure how much the tickets are but if they are around 20-30 I would certainly take a look if only to have a look around inside the park etc for the day.

It was probably about 10 years ago that we went - but I don't recall that my rudimentary French got in the way of having a good time there.
