Most of La Ronde's rides have awful names, but the worst is Le Super-Manège (the Super Ride), an ugly Vekoma corkscrew with baynercurve.

LOVE the drop over the tunnel, but the supports on the lift hill are really weird.

Love the name of Tiamat, it brings me back to my ancient mythology class. Only wish I'd thought of it first (I call Apsu!).

My dad called Top Thrill Dragster "the Drag Queen" - I think he got the name mixed up with Rita: Queen of Speed. Still makes me laugh.
I don't know... do you think RuPaul would ever sponsor a ride?
I hope he does! If all the homophobes refuse to ride, maybe the line won't be two hours long...

Worst B&M: Leviathan. It wasn't worth the trip to the GTA (but not much is ).
Worst Intamin: Ok, I understand Cobra at La Ronde isn't great but I don't think it's that bad. My vote goes to Colossus at Thorpe Park. The ten inversions thing is just a gimmick and the ride itself is boring.
Sadly I've never been to a park with a GCI, so I can't rate them

Hey guys from five years ago,
So I've been a lot less active on TPR since I made this thread, but I've gotten significantly better at playing this game, and gotten myself a decent amount of CSO. I'm thinking of reviving this recreation, possibly (hopefully) with some help (especially in 8cars etc.). The major differences: a) I'm no longer 13, b) I plan to make this adaptation realistic and c) I'm better organized in my parkmaking. That having been said, I have two questions for you guys.
The park, from the tip of the island (Goliath's out-and-back portion) down to the bridge, measures about 3794 by 2116 feet, which is 362 by 202 tiles.
Should I axe all or part of Goliath to fit the park on the map, or build two maps, to include the bridge but separate Goliath from the park and break the monorail's circuit? Additionally, I could build the park as it was before Goliath and that godawful SLC were built.
Also, the area around Le Monstre is at about a 45° angle to the rest of the park.
How should I build it? Is there a hack to have a functional diagonal station?

I rode a TOGO once. It was awful.
