Where to begin where to begin....

La Ronde. Much better then Canada's Wonderland can ever dream of being. I have to say I really enjoyed my time at La Ronde and would love to go back. I don't think I saw anything anywhere that even mentioned that this place had anything to do with Six Flags, but hey my SFKK season pass worked.

Operations at La Ronde could use some work. Le op's clearly didn't give a shit about meeting the hourly capacity of the ride and the line could stretch all the way out of the park and they wouldn't do much about it. This caused me to not love La Ronde but just mearly like it. I mean some employees were better then others, but overall the majority just kind of sucked, and they sat in plastic chairs and talked instead of doing their jobs.

La Ronde has a ton of food choices, I wish I could have tried more then I did. They even have a Mcdonalds, which is awesome because Mcdonalds is awesome and it wasn't even that expensive! Le cha ching!

Credit wise I didn't do so well, Ednor (The new SLC) was running one train and had a 2 hour wait, we got in line and it wasn't moving at all so I said screw that. I didn't get the boomerang either because everytime we got in line it broke down and then the 3rd time we got in line it started raining and we left the park. Also I didn't ride Dragon (I think?) because I didn't know it was there. It's alright though because I got all the important rides like....

GOLIATH! The french pronounce it like "gunyick" not even joking it was so weird, even the pre recorded speil in the station said it like that. Anyway, THIS RIDE IS AMAZING! Better then Diamondback and Behemoth put together, and even I thought I would never say that knowing how much I worship both of those. Seriously Don't think this ride is meh because it's not even a true hyper coaster, It grabs you by the balls and takes you for one hell of a ride. Might be the ride with the most airtime that I've been on, every single hill even the turnaround gives pure ejector air in the last row. Screw the people that say it has an unoriginal layout, I don't need anything but awesome airtime hills, and that's pretty much what Goliath is. Match made in heaven. Currently my third favorite coaster, right behind X2 and El Toro!

French Batman, a little rough around the edges but definetly very very intense. it also had a really long line

Le Cobra was better then I expected and I actually enjoyed it

Le Monstre. Ok What the hell, I was sure this ride was gonna suck, but it's soooooooooooooo good, I don't even know why, It's like the beast all rough and outta control except there's actually some airtime and the drops are really steap and the entire ride is just crazy and insane. I LOVE LE MONSTRE and I was 99% sure I would never say that. La Ronde is full of suprises

I'm tired of typing. Just go to La Ronde and be suprised. Pictures....

I think B&M hypers with the old trains like Nitro and Goliath are much better in the last row, and the newer ones like Diamondback and Behemoth are much better in the front two rows

Great pictures as always. La Ronde seems like a great park to go to.lol. But looking at those Goliath pictures makes me want to go and ride it.

Wow, I've heard nothing but horrer stories about La Ronde... Good to hear you liked it, other than the operations which are supposedly the worst ever. Your review of Goliath is surprising; I've always thought of it as the stupidest, most pointless B&M Hyper ever, now I really want to ride it for the air-time! It's also great to hear that Le Condor is a huge success for the park.

It's also great to hear that Le Condor is a huge success for the park.

Though he did say it was 2 hours with one train... so its probably like 45mins with 2...

But the fact that they didn't run 2 puts them in the bad operations category.

Yeah I always thought there hyper was pointless too but it turned out to be really really awesome, I wasn't expecting much but it blew me away, it really flies over those hills!
