You want an idea? Picture or it did not happen. With your super batting average so far, nobody should believe a word you say. -
La Ronde Discussion Thread

No. That is a fanboy/speculation video (nothing wrong with speculation, just saying) and is not confirmed. The locations of the 2016 RMC coasters are already known, and La Ronde is not one of them. Videos such as the one you linked are complete speculation--he used to be a poster on these forums months ago. BTW, I have seen the sign.. They have moved it to the car maintenance building but riding the carriage thing that goes around the park, you can see it. Alan Schilke said , one new coaster in Europe, in Kentucky and one rollercoaster in Six Flags is getting the Iron Horse treatment and then gave this hint: "We put topper track on it not too long ago". They put topper track on Le Monstre 2 weeks ago, this sign and that basically give it away. I haven't read that quote, although it is now outdated. The coaster in Europe (Wildfire) has been pushed back to at least 2017. A recent RMC job listing stated the projects are in Kentucky, Tennessee, and California. The SF project is Roar at Discovery Kingdom. It makes no sense to I-box a coaster if it was retracked two weeks ago. Alan said Roar is not getting RMC'd due to budget issues.. La Ronde documents were leaked showing that the design was drawn and finalized and they're waiting for budget approval. Also: Le Monstre just turned 30 and the track was broken in the section they fixed. Only time will tell. Do you have any source? I haven't heard anything even remotely like this. Why would Schilke comment on SF's financial state? We on these forums would know if documents were leaked. No disrespect at all, but I'm calling BS on this. (I'm trying to find those myself, actually. I'm only posting speculations from others) La Ronde is supposed to have a Media Release sometime in July so hopefully something cool is revealed. How about you stop posting speculations as facts then? You are advancing a whole lot of crap without any source and it makes you look pretty bad. -

Don't spread rumour as if it was a done deal. No one knows what is going to happen to the Cobra and the RMC woodie or premier launch coast are nothing more than speculations from enthusiast. I'm definetely curious to see that poster now though. Those are not speculations from enthusiasts. Those are real rumours going on between the employees over there and the Xtreme La Ronde forums. Here's the definition of a rumour since you seem to believe that a rumour is a confirmation of what is going to happen in the future: rumour (ˈruːmə) or rumor n 1. a. information, often a mixture of truth and untruth, passed around verbally b. (in combination): a rumour-monger. 2. gossip or hearsay 3. din or clamour 4. fame or reputation There you go, nothing more than speculations, no confirmation. You misunderstood my reply. What I meant is that those rumors didn't come from us, the enthusiasts, but from the park's employees and those rumors have been going on for quite some time now. In 2006, the park got Goliath for it's 40th anniversary in 2007 and the rumors that where going on between the employees about that coaster getting built started about two years before it got built. And keep in mind that in 2016 it will be the park's 50th season and 2017 will be its 50th anniversary so it's not impossible that something similar could happen and lately, Six Flags has been working a lot with RMC and Premier rides. You are saying it yourself, it is rumours for now. It's nothing more than an he says she says game until there is an announcement or a leak. -

A new picture popped up on Instagram. It sure looks like the exterior of Maison rouge is done. Looks pretty badass imo. I just hope they'll maintain it properly in the years to come. -

I'm not too sure how a political opinion may have an effect on the quality of the ops but whatever... Operations are just bad, it looks like they have no incentive in moving quickly or something. Ops were bad prior to the park being bought by Six Flags also...so i guess its more of an habit of sucking. As for the Monstre, i do wish it would be converted, but i don't see it happening soon due to the new trains and the money they have been throwing at it in the last years. The Cobra, this is something i can see leaving in the next few years...it would leave quite a lot of room for sure! A smallish coaster like Lightning Run would be great. There's rumors that for the park's 50th anniversary in 2017 they will demolish le Cobra and the old Bob l'éponge building and build a new coaster there. We'll see i guess! I was kind of hoping they would re-open the 3d movie theater at some point. -

Le Monstre was actually open quite often so far. Most of the time only 1 track with 2 trains on it. Track 2 was open this weekend. Avoid Ednor, it is crap. Outside of that, don't go on the weekend and you should be fine. I would avoid going on the 30th also since most of the companies are closed for Canada day on that day. -
It seems you don't quite understand the principle of "Early Access". You cannot expect 30$ of value out of an early access game. You are basically paying to be beta testing the game and for the full game down the road. No one forced you or anyone else to buy while the game is in Early Access or to tag along the kickstarter campaign. If the game is not satisfactory for you at the moment. Just let it sit for a couple of months and come back. It will most likely have been updated with the fixes and features. I think that is what makes the early access process cool. As far as RCT4 goes, i'm not impressed and i'm scared for the PC version...
