shesaidboom Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm glad I saved La Ronde for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 10 drops, not bad at all...But where's the helix !!? At SFoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 ^damnit, another Hyper that will only run 2 trains!!! I hate MCBR's but hey if thats the difference between 2 and 3 trains Id be willing to do it I'm willing to guess that LaRonde doesn't get major foot traffic and they will do fine with 2 trains. Heck, at just over 4000 feet, they would stack three undoubtedly. Joe says: "Yay for SFOG not having the shortest B&M hyper anymore!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarmor Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It just worked for me...I guess it doesnt like you... But trust me...your not missing anything much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It's partially working for me. About half of it is coming up but that is probably just because I have dial-up. I really like the whole concept of hypers without mid-course brakes. I must say I am a little disappointed that there aren't really any true turns other than the simple turn-around, but this will be good for the park. Plus I try not to bitch too much.

Jeezus Juice Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looks like it will head out over some parkinglot. Does that mean that this will be SilverStar West? Yay for hypers being the new B:TRs! -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonSomerville Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 After several(and I mean SEVERAL) times,I finally got to the LaRonde website. After switching to the English version,saw the announcement. Looks decent enough,but I won't be going to ride it anytime soon(maybe in a couple of years from now). Like the layout,though.

dandaman Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hooray for Canada, indeed. Not that I'd ever make the trek to LaRonde (or Montreal) anyways... the farthest north I've been is Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 It looks pretty good, but geez, what is with Six Flags and the name Goliath!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XANAX: The Ride Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I know that rederings can be significantly different than the final product, but I think the strait-a-way at the bottom of the first drop looks great!!! Plus anything w/ that much air time is a good thing! We don't need no stinkin' helix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Apparently the site's server is too busy. I can't get on!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexington Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Wow....seems like it will have some airtime... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBeavis Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think all the B&M fanboys having multiple "nerdgasms" have killed La Ronde's site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfBeastSucks Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Wow, this layout looks even more boring than the SFoG Goliath layout. I'm sure it will be fun and everything, but nothing special... if the ride has some good speed and airtime, I won't care (about the layout being simple).

jarmor Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I dont know but it just may be me but im kinda not excited about this coaster. I mean its cool that they are getting a SPEED coaster but its like, meh. I know you cant do too much w/ speed coasters but think I think about what intamin as done with them and im like...wow! But in this case... However im glad to see B&M expand on their speed coaster line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 What is with B&M and making both new Goliaths have 9 airtime hills? It's basically an Apollo's Charriot with an extra airtime hill and no helix. Not that I'm complainin, as Apollo is an awesome ride, and definitely my favorite at BGW.

BiCoastal Kid Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 ^It would appear to me that 9 is all their space would allow. I'm surprised nobody mentioned... What's with B&M making both new Goliaths sans MCBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Glad to see both lack the mid course brakes, nothing to kill the pace of the ride. The 2 Goliath coasters are about 1000' shorter than let's say... Nitro or Silver Star which run three trains often. 2 trains is all it could really run without stacking. By the way, does anyone know what the actual color scheme will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'd assume that it will match the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Benny Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yay for my home park getting a decent new coaster! That ride is going to be awesome at night with the skyline of Montreal in the background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadmos Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I know alot of people are saying this is a pretty but you have to take into consideration that La Ronde doesn't have alot of room left for twisty sections or an elaborate layout. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.525202,-73.535753&spn=0.007212,0.013576&t=k&hl=en In no way do I think this will be a coaster that gets into peoples top 5 list but I think it will just be one of those genuine, fun rides that everyone will like, no matter where it is on their list. The only thing I am a little dissapointed about is that it isn't Canada's first true 'hyper' coaster. But oh well, looks like a great fun ride anyways!

OzCatter Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 What's with B&M making all of thier coasters without MCBR's? Patriot aint got one either Am I the only one happy it's not a clone and that it actually looks more fun than SFOG's? -Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
