DirkFunk Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Just looking at pictures and maps, I've always been confused about the parking at La Ronde. I see a parking lot in the back of the park by Goliath, but that is it. Are you shuttled to the front gate, or do you have to walk all the way to the front of the park from that parking lot? There's two entrances. The back entrance and parking lot seems to be opened up now when the front one is sufficiently full (at least that's what it seemed like Saturday).
coasterbill Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 So which of the two rides that they announced for this year but then (I assume) said "eh, f*ck it" and never bothered to put together do you think La Ronde is about to announce for next year? My money is on the Scrambler.
booink Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 ^My prediction is optimistic and I think we (might) get a Super Loop in the old haunted house spot (between Manitou and Boomerang), but you're right that this is totally a possibility! If that's what happens, hopefully a Scrambler, I love those
robbalvey Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 La Ronde, Quebec’s leading destination for thrills and family entertainment, will introduce Chaos, a new giant loop roller coaster. Chaos offers a pure adrenaline rush as riders go forward, backward and upside down for unprecedented hang-time. This exhilarating, seven-story loop sends riders through a series of multiple, adrenaline-charged revolutions, higher and higher before changing directions for even more chaotic thrills.
JG-77 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Well better than a tilt-a-whirl! I wonder if they’ll be able to maintain their ride promise this year.
Dombot Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Well better than a tilt-a-whirl! I wonder if they’ll be able to maintain their ride promise this year. I like how this is a legitimate concern for a corporate park.
JG-77 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I mean I think we all lost whatever little faith we had in new rides for this park after they announced a somewhat decent carnival ride package and then only opened a single sad tilt-a-whirl
Doppel Looping Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I just want to see how they manage to stack this 'rollercoaster' If anyone ca do it, six flags run by the french can.!
Philrad71 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Well better than a tilt-a-whirl! I wonder if they’ll be able to maintain their ride promise this year. Meh - I much prefer tilt-a-whirl's myself. This announcement was one of those "I kinda expected this" sort of announcements for La Ronde. Serious question: Does anyone think that they will eventually RMC Le Monstre or is this park too far gone?
Nrthwnd Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I thought Six Flag parks were done with these kinds of coasters ? Obviously not. Edited September 3, 2018 by Nrthwnd
Vonni Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I was surprised when I saw the announcement because I thought La Ronde already had a super loop lol!
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 I was expecting this announcement too. So as of 2019, the only Six Flags parks without super loops are Magic Mountain and Mexico - and that's even including Frontier City and Darien Lake. Watch for those 2020 announcements next year... lol. They have to finish what they started!
VGplay Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Is it safe to assume the worst for visiting LaRonde on Thanksgiving? Or is it surprisingly not busy? Wanted to hit up the park while I have a Six Flags pass this year and getting there on a Monday is easier to make happen than a Friday or Sunday.
coasterbill Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Define “the worst”. La Ronde is the worst every day.

mary.pesik Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I'd like La Ronde to have DC theming. Vampire could be rethemed to Batman, there'd be a Grid ride, a Wonder Woman ride, a Superman ride, a Cyborg ride, a The Joker ride, a Harley Quinn ride...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Does anyone know a reason why La Ronde is closed on Saturday May 25? It seems very strange since it's now open on weekends except this date. I fully expect the answer to be "because it's La Ronde" but was curious if there was something going on in the city.
Nrthwnd Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 ^ Maybe the park has been hired for a private company event. And they wanted that Saturday.
DarienPoint Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I'd like La Ronde to have DC theming. Vampire could be rethemed to Batman, there'd be a Grid ride, a Wonder Woman ride, a Superman ride, a Cyborg ride, a The Joker ride, a Harley Quinn ride... I think Vampire was planned to be Batman: The Ride, but due to licensing issues it didn't work out. Does anyone know if this park got free wifi like other Six Flags parks this year? I might need it as my phone plan doesn't have out of the country service.

I might need it as my phone plan doesn't have out of the country service. La Ronde does have WiFi, it pretty much works everywhere the only place I had connection issues was near Le Vampire.
DarienPoint Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 That's awesome, thanks! I'm going Wednesday, how will lines be?
3Mutts Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 That's awesome, thanks! I'm going Wednesday, how will lines be? Bad probably. La Ronde has awful operations and unlike other parks there really isn't a slow day since its extremely easy to get to via the Metro. Also if you don't have a platinum or diamond membership I highly recommend getting one, La Ronde has a stupid entrance system where you have to wait in this hour long line because of how inefficient they are but if you have at least a platinum membership you can use the member entrance and skip the entrance line. This allows you a good two or three hours before everyone else gets in to do what ever you want.
fraroc Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I never knew why Six Flags doesn't just rename La Ronde "Six Flags Over Canada" or something like that.
3Mutts Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I never knew why Six Flags doesn't just rename La Ronde "Six Flags Over Canada" or something like that. Because the Quebeckers wouldn't like that. They are EXTREMELY protective over their french heritage and push back strongly against any attempt to anglicize them. Quebec actually has a law that says that businesses MUST have a french name and that french name needs to have priority over the English name.
Nrthwnd Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 ^ Actually, it would be just "Six Flags Over Quebec", then. We're still waiting in Western Canada, for Six Flags:Galaxyland to happen.
