If you ever find you self in Montreal and you can't speak French, then you will want head over to La Ronde, on Saint Helen's Island in Montreal, Canada. The park originally opened for Expo 67 in April of 1967. The city of Montreal ran the park until 2000 when strikes and picketing with employees made the park close. The city of Montreal held an auction in 2001 in which Six Flags out bid Paramount Parks, Cedar Fair entertainment, and a French company called Parc Astérix. The park had no 2001 season because of renovations to the park, but when the 2002 season came in, guests found a newly renovated entrance and a new coaster. Le Vampire a B&M inverted coaster that is a clone of The Batman roller coasters in the Six Flags chain lit of the French Canadian sky and caused a real increase in park attendance.
The park boasts 10 roller coasters. Ednör - L'Attaque a Vekoma SLC roller coaster is the park's newest roller coaster. It was added in 2010. In 2006 the park's signature coaster was added called Goliath a B&M hyper coaster. The La Ronde's cheapest and most attractive restraint is McDonalds which is in the center of the park. La Ronde operates a private marina for access to the park for a rate of $25. In 2012 Vol Ultime a clone of the skyScreamers at Six flags opened. In 2013 La Ronde opened the first Aqua Twist in the Six Flags chain. For 2014 the park will open Demon a top spin ride. Six Flags has a lease on the park until 2065. That maybe awhile but Six Flags will surly add in new thrills that will make memories last. |
