CoasterCrazy Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Shouldn't this thread be titled "La Ronde's Superman Construction photos"?
Canadmos Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 It is some contract with WB. A park must have Six Flags in the name for a superhero name. Since it is just La Ronde, they can not. That is why Vampire is not B:TR. lol, and have you read this contract?
MSLSM Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 ^No, that is just what I read on screamscape. The coaster probably has Superman colors since SF is trying to put put the SF name in La Ronde.
Skyscraper Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 When Six Flags bought La Ronde, they agreed to keep a theme that would please the Quebecers, keeping Expo67 spirit in the park. I think it's a good thing that the park will not be "flagged", the park has it's own personnality. And there's rumors that Looney tones, Marvel comics can't be used by Six Flags in Canada...
cactus Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 New pics added on La Ronde's web site. Want to see more? http://www.laronde.com/en/virtuel/album.asp?album=7 Goliath.....superman?
Canadmos Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 yay, I can't wait to see this thing topped off! Also, I just noticed this rendering on rcdb http://rcdb.com/ig3385.htm?picture=2
ECZenith Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I'd really rather see the name stay as Goliath than see a Superhero themed ride. My #1 coaster, SROS at SFNE is themed to Superman (theming = 2 cutouts of superman andof course the colors) and I just really can't stand the colors/name. Hell, I'd rather see it painted orange and teal with Goliath slapped over it. And WHY is "Batman the Dark Knight" not in the DC section... I'm just gonna stop now... but congrats Canada, looks like you've got another great B&M layout on the way.
cactus Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 New construction pics on La Ronde's web site http://www.laronde.com/fr/virtuel/album.asp?album=7 the lift hill is taking shape...
CoasterGuy06 Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 New Pics Goliath's lift is up! http://www.laronde.com/en/virtuel/album.asp?album=7 Pretty Superma....er.......Goliath lift!
CoasterCrazy Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 It looks pretty cool on the lake but I can't get use to the superman colors. IMO, superman colors look out of place on a coaster than has the name Goliath!
Skyscraper Posted December 21, 2005 Author Posted December 21, 2005 It looks so small... but can't wait to ride it anyway !
Shockwave Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Superman in disguise is looking good now! Cant be long till the rest of the track is up.
lexington Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 The lift is so supportless compared to other hypers like Morgan and Arrow.
cactus Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 New pics added on La Ronde's web site! ( www.laronde.com) The 70.0° drop is almost done! Almost done....
TheGreatOne Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 ^Wow! That drop looks outstanding! I'm sure there will be some good airtime in the back. -Bryan "maybe a trip to Montreal is in order" Wood
CoasterCrazy Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 The drop looks like its going to be a lot of fun! Maybe I should think about going on a coaster trip in North East coaster trip and hit Canada while I'm at it!
woah_killa Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 This makes me jealous because the drop looks better than the one in Georgia!
DATman Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 wow, talk about a random way to build a drop... Well, at least construction is moving pretty well!
coasterguy618 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 ^I was just going to say that. But yea the drop looks steeper than 70 degrees. Superman errrr...... Goliath "hopefully" will be a fun ride with lots of airtime!
ParkTrips Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 This makes me jealous because the drop looks better than the one in Georgia! yea, cause it's soooo different :'> I may jet up there this summer to visit TGE and La Ronde (well, I have another thing on my itinerary that is really drawing me up there), I haven't decided for sure yet.
cactus Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 70* first drop is now 100% done! Want to see some pics? http://laronde.com/en/virtuel/album.asp?album=7 weeeee
Carnage Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I like the turn right after the drop. I'll definetly be making a trip up to La Ronde this summer.
Shockwave Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 That turn looks pretty sweet! Still a lot of snow to move to get the rest of it done though, but that'll be easy for the Canadians. God knows how badly that ride would get delayed if it was built in the UK with that level of snow!
