Password121 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Was Goliath originally intended to have a Superman theme? I'm curious because of the color scheme. I believe that is either confirmed or widely accepted to be the case.
Satans Hockey Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Oh you think that the rides will actually be operating for the first few hours of the operating day? That's cute. Lol I have the lowest expectations for tomorrow so if I actually get on any rides I'll be surprised
Satans Hockey Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 The park was completely mobbed today so I only got 1 ride in the back row of Goliath. I thought the ride was blast, just pure fun. They had the stupid VR going on it but they were doing 1 train of VR and one train of non VR. I got to skip a decent portion of the line cause most were waiting for the VR. Operations were still terrible and with the place being mobbed I had to leave after that. When we left the line getting into the place were insane. If I was in the area again I would definitely go back to ride Goliath some more.
Canobie Coaster Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Just curious, did the line look something like this? That took me an hour and a half to get through in my one and only visit to the park This can't possibly be the line... And the line ends in a free-for-all for the 3 metal detectors that were open. Maybe these people haven't bought tickets yet... Oh they all have tickets... WTF and why is that switchback so long? There's really more coming (and not the Cedar Fair RMC tease) Oh Canada... Enough with the switchbacks! I know I did this in Roller Coaster Tycoon, but this is cruel and unusual punishment.
Canobie Coaster Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I hate this park so much. I honestly had a good time once I got in the park. Maybe it was because the park didn't feel crazy crowded due to the massive bottleneck to get in.
Satans Hockey Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Wow that's horrible lol I waited maybe 15 mins yesterday but the line looked like 45 mins to an hour to get in when we left.
Vonni Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 OMG that is unreal! I've never seen a line like that just to get INTO a park! Wow!
JordyC Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Holy moly.. That is a long line! I will never complain again about a 15 min line to enter a park
RollingCoasting Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 NOOOOOOOO From Screamscape: Is La Ronde preparing to remove Cobra, the park's old Intamin Stand-Up coaster? Cobra was added to La Ronde in 1995, purchased from Skara Sommarland in Sweden where it was first ran from 1988 to 1994 and was built as a near-clone to Intamin's first stand-up coaster, Shockwave that opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1986. Currently Cobra has now been removed entirely from the list of rides on the La Ronde website, and is only seen on their park map, which is still listed as the 2016 edition. It is possible it could be time to retire the old ride, and a conversion to Floorless isn't likely as this is isn't a B&M product. http://www.screamscape.com/html/la_ronde.htm

RollingCoasting Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I'm not sure if the location is already known or not, but someone on the La Ronde forum pointed out that this could be the location of Titan
Vonni Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Looks like LaRonde could be on tap for a Free Fly in 2018.
RollingCoasting Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I know it hasn't officially been confirmed, but is there any chance of Le Cobra being relocated? I mean, I'm sure La Ronde is near the bottom of Six Flags list, but maybe Six Flags Mexico or The Great Escape could acquire it. Of course I wouldn't be upset if it showed up at Six Flags Great America. (I can dream, right?)
Canobie Coaster Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Did Cobra run at all towards the end of the 2016 season? During my only visit on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, Cobra was closed all day with no one working on it and that's not a weekend you'd typically want a coaster down. I'm bummed I missed out on Cobra since I've never tried an Intamin stand-up but by all accounts it doesn't sound like a great ride and the park can use this plot for something new.
RollingCoasting Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Well I don't know about Labor Day weekend, but the people on this board seem to mention that it was closed alot during 2016, also it was removed from their site in June it looks like http://xtremelaronde.forumactif.com/t812p25-avenir-du-cobra
coasterbill Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Good, that thing is a raging dumpster fire and it needs to be put out of it's misery.
booink Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I'm not sure if the location is already known or not, but someone on the La Ronde forum pointed out that this could be the location of Titan This would be rather surprising, because removing it during the canadian winter wouldn't be an easy task, plus they would also need enough time afterward to install the new ride for the start of the season; I believe Titan has higher chances of being installed on the former Go-Kart spot next to Vampire's entrance.

Well while I missed that stand-up, it looks like I saved myself from a headache.
canadianparkfan Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I'm not sure if the location is already known or not, but someone on the La Ronde forum pointed out that this could be the location of Titan 2017 - Titan replaces Cobra 2018 - Iron Monster
Vonni Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 2018 - Iron Monster I've never ridden Monster, but I love RMC so I'm hoping that's the case lol!
DirkFunk Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Cobra being torn down makes it MORE likely I'd go next year. One less long line for a ride that is completely garbage (it's one of the three coasters there I've been on: thanks Six Flags ops!).
