La Ronde Photo TR - This time it was OPEN! ::D

[Canobie Fan]

Blah blah blah.. So by now everyones how me and SFNE2005 went all the way to La Ronde last week.. Just to have the park be closed.. Well we went back Sunday and this time the place was open!...Woo.....

 

Ok so yeah... We roll up to the park.. And once more... Not one ride is going and not one person can be see on the midway.... Uh yeah.. Not looking so good.. But then we see a train with maybe 5 people on it go up Cobras lifthill.. WOO!!! It was open! so yeah.. Time for photos and stuff...

 

dood! This dood was back!

 

Yay for Seasonpass getting you a free ticket in the park..

 

Bob L'eponge!!!!

 

Yay! LeCobra.. The only La-Intamin coaster in Canadaz

 

l o l z.. It thinks its Riddlers Revenge....

 

Oh noz!

 

 

yay it was trimless... But it still sucks

 

Yay... CREDIT!

 

No LeBoomerang for us

 

But we did get to ride SuperCorkscrewVekomaThing!.. And it was better then the 2 on the UK trip!

 

LeMonstre wasnt LeBad at all! It was almost LaFun!

 

They had this CounterStrike thing going on at the park.. (I bet the only reason the park stayed open as late as it did.. Was because this thing was going on)

 

It looks really nice... And was a good ride.. It just needs new trains

 

Oh yeah... The reason we came to the park....Twice.

 

Dragon was cool.. And themed... And had music... And lights.. And why cant Skull Mt be like this?

 

"Hey look I used to be in TX.. But now im in LaCanada!"

 

Hey wow.. It was so good we rode it twice!

 

Chick'n Chick!?!!?

 

"Hey look im like a steel Timbers.. But like.. good..."

 

I wish the line hadnt been so long

 

Now its time for the "WTF? is this" flat ride photo!.. It looks like a gravatron/starship from the outside... but then inside.. it doesnt.. Its a huss 'DiscoRound'. And it was La-Great

 

See.. It does look just like a Gravatron on the outside..

 

LaPOV from LaRondes LeMonstre that only had one LaSide open.

 

It was LaFun!.. But could really use some LaPTC trains.

 

SFNE2005/Rich LaLOVED his first ride on a LaCONDOR!

 

Wooo Miniraill POV!

 

Chick'n Chick is a P.I.M.P!

 

Mmm... It was so good at night in the mist.. Trimless....

 

Yay.. I rode the flying swings for some reason.

 

You know you want it...

 

The lame BreakDance I didnt even ride... it ran so slow I didnt even give it a chance.

 

Why does LaRonde get to have a LaWheel.. But LaSFNE cant?

 

LaLong line for LeBatpire The Ride

 

LeVampire is LaBetter then the 4 other BTRs I have been on.

 

And thats it for day 1... Now for day 2!..WOOO

 

There were more people at LaPark today... But still waits were VERY LaShort

 

They had this themed park.. So I reviewed it.. POV!

[ParkTrips]

edit - I voted 38 members

[niiicolaaah]

Nice Cock

[rcoasters]

Nice review ! People rarely review my home park and I'm glad you had a great day

[apollo210]

WAY BETTER THAN RICH'S! That was an awsome PTR! I voted 1. BEST PTR EVER NEXT TO YOUR LAST LARONDA PTR!

[mkast]

Great TR. I was going to go in august but my plans got messed up. Glad you had fun though!

[CP_RULES]

Of course this B:TR owns all of the others, it drops to the right! YAY for mirrored B:TRs! I love my B:TR at SFStL.

 

Anyway, great PTR, Goliath looks great.

[CycloneMan]

I actually preffer Le Monstrw with Morgan trains. I think PTC trains wouldn't do too good on it. L'Ovni confused the hell out of me! I love Super Manege (Super Ride) I'm still shocked with how smooth it was. On the other hand, le Boomerang was the most painfull Vekoma I've ever been on!

[Dailey Enterprizes]

Haha, awesome pictures you have there. Le Monstre has Le Rattler written all over it!

[robbalvey]

So what's the answer? I voted one as I see Rich. BTW, I'm glad you did bigger photos instead of the usual thumbnails. These are great!!!

 

--Robb

[rcoasters]

By the way, I also like how you putted La in almost every way of mentionning a ride's name

[307]

I hate you for having a good time at this place. Hate. Our time sucked hardcore.

[Canobie Fan]

lol I can see why people would hate the place.

I really liked it.. But I didntn have to wait in lines. Yet I still got nice slow ride ops on a few rides.. Mostly Vamp and Cobra with VERY slow loads.. It shouldnt take 5-6mins to load a standup train with only 6 riders on it...

 

 

As for the poll.. Im going to give it a day or so.. So some people can vote if they havent seen it yet ;

[bratman]

Nice TR. Must have been amazing with the park dead both days. If only I was so lucky. I wanted to get there this year, but alas it will have to wait til next year.

[Jam3s]

Ahaha, I rode those slides! They were random names like "Pirahna" and like "Mahi Mahi" or something... They were alright, but did go in spirals a lot for being so small!

[pkdcoaster]

Great Photos, I love the POV pic of Monstre with the blurred structure

Good Job

 

How was it getting into Quebec and navigating around Montreal (twice )

Does everybody speak French? some english?

 

TIA,

JEFF

[Canobie Fan]

sfne2005/Rich had a lilttle robotdealy that got us around.

But yeah. everything was in French.. But at the park most if not all the staff knew some english and most signs in the park would be all big letters in french and then little letters in English.. So it wasnt hard to do stuff or anything.

Signs would be like Sit down and hold on at all times(In French) and then hold the bar in English.

[bratman]

That is due to the language laws in Quebec, which require that any signage with any language other than French on it have French prominently displayed on it. It is part of their attempt at maintaining the French langauge in Quebec.

[Skyscraper]

This is not the case anymore Bratman, Now, english letters can be AS BIG as french letters, or no english at all.

 

Good trip report btw !

Glad to see you had a good time at La Ronde ! You were very lucky to have this park this dead, and bad operations are not that bad when there's no line !

[bratman]

This is not the case anymore Bratman, Now, english letters can be AS BIG as french letters, or no english at all.

 

 

That is good to hear...I always thought the rule was a bit silly. Maybe the signage is just remnants of the past...as I am sure most Montrealers are used to it.

[pvcoasterguy]

Le Monstre looks like it could be an amazing, though it has sucky trains. Imagine Millenium Flyers on that thing... it could probably rival some of GCI's best designs. Cause it looks insane with helices of doom and stuff...

 

How was it though? Could you give us a review, cause hardly anything is said about this amazing looking coaster.

 

BTW, this was the better TR.

[bratman]

Having been on it myself, I can say......

 

Good layout.....

 

Fun ride....

 

Needs new trains......

[Canobie Fan]

Yeah it was a fun ride as is.. But it could use new trains.. some track work.. And uh.. speed up the lifthill.

[Rugged One]

Nice pics of the park. We were there back in June and the park looked pretty much like that (no people and cold), with the exception that it rained the entire time we there.

 

I've been on all the Batman clones in North America and Vampire was by far the most intense, I'm assuming because it only has seven trains. Riding that thing in the back, in the near pouring rain definitley made for one of the most intense experiences I've ever had on a steel coaster.

[viking86]

Ive heard people saying that Batman la Fuga @ WBMW Madrid is more intense than the average B:TR clone and that one has 7 cars per train aswell. It does make sense because less wheels -> less friction.

 

I wonder how intense Lightning @ Entertainment City is.... that is a B:TR clone with only 6 cars per train. It should be flying!
