La Ronde Review Montreal, Quebec, Canada - Coaster Studios Was La Wrong
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2022
- Many are familiar with the Coaster Studios La Ronde review. In fact, his review of Six Flags La Ronde along with others have given La Ronde the name of the worst Six Flags park and made it the laughingstock of the chain. However, I just went to La Ronde and think it might be the most underrated Six Flags park in the world, even more so than Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Rides such as Goliath, Vampire, Titan, Demon, Le Orbite, Le Monstre, Vol Ultime, Toboggan Nordique, Dragon, and Chaos were all great and the food, atmosphere, theming, appearance, layout, and operations especially deserve more credit. In this review, I will describe in great detail all of the great changes La Ronde has made since Taylor Bybee reviewed it. I will review many rides (including a Goliath review) and provide travel tips so you can also have a great visit to La Ronde. Enjoy this full review of La Ronde in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

No disrespect is directed toward Canobie Coaster or Coaster Studios, I am just using them as reference points because their reviews of the park have affected its image.
Quote from La Ronde review Coaster Studios: I didn't think a park could actually be this bad, but leave it to Six Flags to operate what I consider to be the worst theme park I have ever been to. - บันเทิง

Thanks for watching and I hope you gained a new perspective on La Ronde. I hope Coaster Studios sees this.
Also, note that I don’t mean to offend Coaster Studios, but so many people hate this park based solely on his review.
me too
Great Review Eric i Enjoyed La Ronde to i only ride closed when i went was monstre though but i made it on the others only ride i didnt really like was Ednör - L'Attaque i dont like the slcs ether if la ronde can put n a bnm invert and slc invert and dont see why canadas wonderland cant
@@zachguest8565 I’m glad you liked the park and the review
@@ThemeParkAvenue thanks so whats your next park your going to that ya havent been to
@@zachguest8565 I’m headed to Six Flags America today.
the golden age of La Ronde was 2002-2007, after that, laronde started to remove alot of coaster, didnt buy anything. Six flags doesnt care about us
It’s a shame, but at least a few rides like Titan and Demon were added to boost the park.
And this legit coincides with the time that Theme Park Review started talking shit about La Ronde on social media which is how the park started getting it's bad reputation in the first place. It's like if Six Flags noticed the negative reactions and decided to invest less and less on the park
well this is true for sixflags in general, they went bankrupt in 2009 and have seriously cut their spending in general. Lesser parks like La Ronde really took the brunt of this
@@TitanLRV lol no, the percentage of people who watch theme park reviews is miniscule.
@@caliorbustarika3310Yeah, that's how itnis today, but 10-15 years ago, Theme Park Review was the most popular coaster channel on youtube
La Ronde was last on Coaster Studios' Europe trip this year, will be interesting to see if they had a better experience this time.
Minirail is the oldest attraction there, it was built for the 1967 Expo.
Ednor was originally Serial Thriller at The Great Escape, and La Ronde very nearly ended up with Green Lantern before the pandemic delayed construction. Maybe Six Flags wants to put old rides there to save on costs.
Cobra and Super Manege were very old, and Cobra was rough- really banged your head. The park desperately needs some new coasters now.
I am very excited to see how Coaster Studios feels about the park now.
I met him at the park (Laronde is my home park) and it didn’t really seems like his opinion has changed lmaoo. They arrived in the afternoon and the park was already packed because of the fireworks show that was happening at night (half of the park was closed an hour before the show because some fireworks debris can fall on the rides) so it’s bad luck but I hope he’s going to at least give Laronde the creds for the fireworks cause it’s considered as one of the best in the world and as someone who saw the majority of the show this year I can tell why
@@enzosalangre5412 dang. Cool that you met him but I hope he recognizes the improved operations.
@@enzosalangre5412 yeah no I didn't get to meet him, but I know some who did, and he was not happy that day. One of the things that was mentioned was he said it was genuinely impressive how bad Le Monstre was
@@plazasta Hé probably got the yellow train. I went to La Ronde twice in a month this year, rode track one both times. First time we had the red train and it was pretty enjoyable. Second time I got the yellow and it’s probably the worst experience I ever had on a rollercoaster
Glad you had a positive experience, and it’s especially nice for me to hear because this is the last CF/SF park I haven’t been to yet, so I’ll get there soon enough.
That said, your positive experience doesn’t discredit Coaster Studios’ (and many other people’s) negative experience. Every park experience is different, and it’s good to hear lots of reviews to get a sense of the range of experiences.
Enjoyable review.
I hope you enjoy your time when you go here. Also, you are right about this not discrediting Taylor’s review. However, my main goal was to show people that not every trip to La Ronde is like his because there are many who call La Ronde the worst park without going based on negative reviews. I just wanted people to know that the park might be worth giving a chance. Also, the title was just too funny for me to pass up on.
Used to like Laronde when I was a kid. LE Monstre always felt like it would collapse at any moment hahaha, still pretty fun for an old ride. But yeah, Six Flag did nothing great to the park beside building the Goliath and a couple of flat rides (while removing iconics ones). The park lost a bit of it's nostalgia feel and became more of a generic Six Flags park over time.
If you come during July/August, stay for the fireworks competition !
I would put it in the category : If you are visiting Montreal and like theme parks, give it a try ! But this is not the kind of park you go out of your way to go to.
I can understand that. It’s definitely worth a stop if one goes to Montreal, and I loved that city.
When they removed La Pitoune, i was pissed off 😂😂
@@_pic0_301 I was too and same for Cobra because a lot of mechanics at La Ronde told me that they had completely renovated the ride during the winter and that they pretty much fixed all of the major problems that the ride had for years. And they were even planning to reopen the ride with VR goggles on it. But they made a last minute decision to close the ride to expand the parking lot and they used the excuse that the ride was in a bad condition to be operational which is bullshit. If it got removed it was because the maintenance was too expensive, it being under the bridge put too much stress on it's structure due to the bridge vibrating the ground around Cobra too much and also on crowded days, La Ronde doesn't have enough parking spots for new guests trying to enter the park which forces them to park elsewhere. But thankfully they didn't put a parking lot in that spot but instead it became a ride graveyard.
Here's why we like to staple people :
Yesterday I was working on Vampire and literally every single cycle, I had guests on multiple rows asking me to make their harnesses tighter after we had already completed checking the restraints. So at some point I just said : ''fuck it'' And started stapling everybody cause we were loosing too much time rechecking like 5 people each ride
If stapling improves efficiency, that’s totally fine. I am not bothered by it, but some of my younger siblings were.
@@ThemeParkAvenue yeah no I'm friends with Goliath's ride ops and they said the same thing. Most people complain when you don’t staple them, plus the superiors want them to staple people, so they'd get in trouble if they didn't anyway (if I had to guess, it might be because Goliath has no safety belts)
@@plazasta good point. Either way, serious props to the ride ops for doing an excellent job.
@@ThemeParkAvenue thank you so much! We try our best!
This is a really great, detailed review! I rarely hear anything about this park and I’d be a lot more willing to visit after seeing that it is possible to have a good experience here. Montreal is REALLY far from California but if I ever do end up in that part of the world I would definitely try and make time for a visit.
I’m happy you enjoyed the review. This park definitely surprised me.
There's a reason the MiniRail still exists but is not maintained. It is one of last souvenirs of the original La Ronde and Expo 67 and carries a lot of historic and nostalgic appeal. Six Flags, apparently unwilling to maintain or update it, would be facing even more (justified) criticism if they tore it down. They recently claimed they want more families in their parks, not just thrill seekers. They could start by improving and expanding the MiniRail which, during Expo, dipped and ducked around and behind waterfalls, glided over lakes, and went straight though the US pavilion at a height of around a hundred feet. It was so popular that a system had to be devised to encourage people to get off and try other attractions.
I didn’t know all of that history, so thank you. I assume the ride typically operates?
@@ThemeParkAvenue No idea. Haven't been to La Ronde in ages, but visit the islands any time I'm in Montreal. Lots of nature and wildlife when they're not hosting yet another mega-event. (It's a big issue in Montreal.) If you can get there in the fall, it's fantastic for cycling around and is seriously appealing to families. There's even a swimming beach on Ile Notre-Dame.
THEY’RE TEARING IT DOWN THIS YEAR IM SO ANGRY 💔💔💔 I grew up going to La Ronde and the Mini Raille has a very big historic importance here. Most of the OG 7 are historic; Pitoune (taken down after an incident), Super Manège (taken down and was to be replaced with Vipère), Miniraille (☹️), La Spirale which is the lookout tower and isn’t really in use, and the last three are kiddy rides: Le Tchoo-tchoo, Joyeux Moussaillon and Marche du Mille patte.
We’re down to 4 😔
Well, they did. Now the whole city and citizen are mad against Six Flags, even the mayor
This is why I don’t trust coaster studios😂 I think the fact that he’s been to a lot of theme parks he criticizes parks harder then they should
@juiceboxer100 his channel really went down hill it’s kinda sad
His review was a bit too harsh and I feel that he kind of ruined the reputation of the park for everyone. I really just wanted people to know that they should give the park a chance.
JB, any chance you’ll be at Over Texas on July 4-5?
@@ThemeParkAvenue maybe I have no idea yet
@@JBThrills I’m going those days so it would be cool if I ran into you and I was just curious.
Looking forward to going to this park when I head to MTL for the Rammstein concert and your review has given me some pretty good info for when I go
Thanks! I hope you have a great time.
Vampire's queue is similar to Batman's because La Ronde was officially supposed to be a Six Flags branded park back in 2002. Vampire was going to be Batman the ride and Vertigo was going to be The Joker and a joker statue is even currently inside one of La Ronde's storage buildings because the park was unable to install it in front of Vertigo. This is because Six Flags wasn't able to brand La Ronde as a Six Flags branded park because of the 101 law in Québec which forces every business in Québec to operate strictly in french. And because of this , they weren't able to properly give the Bugs bunny and DC theming to the park but they still managed to be able to sell Bugs bunny and DC merch.
" the 101 law in Québec which forces every business in Québec to operate strictly in french."
That's not true. It requires french to be the prominent language and the first language but not the exclusive language. It has NOTHING to do with statues and a name is a name, they can use Six Flags if they wanted to. I remind you that Bugs Bunny and DC cartoons play, to this day in French, on the main TV channels in Montreal.
I feel like Six Flags should've waited a while to put an RMC Raptor in Ednor's plot of land instead of filling it with an SLC in 2010.
It almost could’ve been the case because initially, the SLC was supposed to go to great escape, but they couldn’t install it so it got moved to the closest park. We really could’ve had something better in its spot like a B&M flying coaster or something like that.
That would have been an improvement.
@@mailion thanks for that information.
@@ThemeParkAvenue no problem
They couldn't wait. The reason they gave us an SLC was due to their contract with Montreal, which gave them 10 years to invest X amount of money into the park. In 2010, they were approaching the deadline, and so they were scrambling to find a ride to help them fill their investment quota, and that’s how we got a recycled SLC
And yeah I've operated Ednor a few times this season and tons of people get lost trying to find the main entrance, it's frustrating lol
Also here's a fun tip: if you’re lucky enough, like me, to be tall enough that your head clears the restraints, then riding at the back will give you zero headbanging and Ednor actually becomes really fun (no seriously SLCs have easily the most underrated layout in the entire industry. If it weren't for their roughness and headbanging they would be on par with Batman clones)
Also fun tidbit (no idea if I'm actually allowed to say this lol), but the reason why Ednor is so rough isn't just because it's relocated, it was also improperly built. My group leader told me the station is literally too short, and so there was a gap befween the station and the track, and instead of modifying the length of track to compensate, they just squeezed everything together, thus making the ride extra shaky
Awesome, thanks for some tips and rides! I’m going today, and I’m pumped for it!!!
That’s great! I hope you have fun. If you have any more questions, comment them and I can try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Great video! I love the location of the park! 😍
If you go to La Ronde, definitely start with Titan first because the ride itself literally lasts 5 whole minutes. And it takes about 2-3 minutes for customers to leave and for new ones to board the ride and then for us to check the restraints. So a cycle is about 7-8 minutes. So the lineup moves once every 7-8 minutes which can make the lineup on Titan very long towards the middle of the day. On normal days we get about 40-60 minute lineups. And on busy days about 2-3 hour lineups. But early in the morning, even if the lineup looks a little long, it's probably just about a 5-15 minute long lineup
Also, you might have felt Monstre a little slow because you went on it early in the day when the train takes about 70 seconds to cycle the ride. During the night it takes about 58 seconds to cycle the ride and towards the end, it feels like the coaster is trying to speed-run itself.
10:22 Vampire got installed in 2002 as a brand new Coaster. Ednör (which is Ronde backwards with a fake story of a monster in Lac des Dauphins) had already been in 2 parks before being st La Ronde. We were about to have the Magic Mountain Green Lantern: First Flight here as Vipère in 2020, and i’m so glad it’s still isn’t installed. SixFlags has been basically trying to “rejuvenate” the park with not the best selection thinking the locals won’t know about their fails in other parks. I would have been quite happy to have one of the DéjàVu giant inverted boomerangs back here instead of Ednör as the second inverted.
Also, the Park was indeed absolutely worth it at the end of the 90’s till 2008. Nintendo was an official sponsor and we had the “Mega Dôme” with game activities and contests, we had an Intamin Stand-Up coaster that was rough in the later years, but a lot of fun in the 2000’s. This one is now SBNO. The Log Flume “La Pitoune” which was an original ride since Expo 67 (when the park was created) was a great one too! Medium thrill selection was also much better.
As for the language barrier, I still cannot believe some of the comments I read on other videos. The majority of people in Québec know very well that tourists from all over won’t exactly speak french on the first go. It’s as if we were compared to the people who dared to say “go back to your country” in the US or “Speak English” in the TH-cam section. There’s hate on both sides for various reasons, but even with different opinions, I get along very well with my anglophone friends from all over Canada. I feel sad when I hear bad stereotypes towards us like that 😂
I’m really glad you had fun. This park was an awesome value back in the day. If only the owners gave more love and care to ignite the flame it once burned.
Also, a tip, Orbite, we don’t pronounce the “e” at the end 😉
Thanks for this comment. I did deduce that Ednor was Ronde backwards, but I didn't pay much attention to the theme. I appreciate your information and will definitely keep it in mind the next time I talk about Orbite.
Oh yeah, I remember going to the megadome as a kid in the 90s. Was great to see Killer Instinct and Crusin’ USA as what we could expect on the soon to be released N64! I now go as a parent of two kids in his forties. They still have fun, but a bit of investment wouldn’t hurt. It’s still fun for them at least. I feel just a bit of additional investment would do wonders considering the great location of the park and its history.
Cool vid! Maybe one day I’ll get out here!
I hope you enjoy it if you do go.
The reason the parks rides resemble DC so much is actually quite interesting. The park was originally supposed to get a bunch of DC rides for the 2004-2007 seasons. This was part of the very aggressive expansion of Six Flags pre bankruptcy. For some reason though, the DC licensing fell through and the planned rides were renamed. It is interesting to speculate though, on what could have come if the DC licensing worked out
That is a fascinating story. Thanks for sharing.
Do you recommend a flash pass for a week day in the summer?
From my experience, no.
I’m going Very soon so it was nice to hear this good review.
I hope you have a great time
@@ThemeParkAvenue thanks!
- Mom can we have Le Vampire?
- We have Le Vampire at home

What music did you play in this video? Hard to tell since its instrumental. Great review btw!
I’m going to the park in a few days and won’t have fast pass so can anyone tell me wait times on the top rides?
Go to Titan and Vamire first. They can get to hour waits sometimes.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Ok, thanks. Also, what would be a normal wait time for Goliath because I’m hoping to go on a couple tomes
@@grahamfalsetto8235 15-20 if operations are normal
@@ThemeParkAvenue thanks for letting me know👍
Just visited la ronde a couple weeks ago and had a great time. Regarding the loose articles policy, my home park six flags over Georgia has a pretty similar policy to la ronde. The difference is it seems every other time im at sfog, some ride has to be stopped because someone took their phone out
What was the song playing in the review? A bop for sure
Was going every year but stopped like 4-5 years ago, they remove a lot of great rides like La pitoune ( kind of splash mountain but faster) and I kind of stopped going after that. it is a good park for one day if you visit Montreal but I would not travel just for that.
I loved the Montreal area a lot and just found La Ronde to be a nice day trip area.
This is one of many parks out there that many people say is run down but has plenty of potential. While I haven't been here yet, I still have to agree based on everything I've seen in this video.
There have also been rumors about Six Flags possibly selling off a few of their parks in the future, and while I am not sure those rumors can be fully trusted, I must suggest that if they were to sell one of them, it should be this one. I don't understand the point of them operating this place if they're just going to neglect it all the time, and I am sure they could easily find a new buyer that would be willing to make this park world class.
This is probably the first park Six Flags should sell. It’s so different from the rest and, like you said, had potential to be much more than it is.
Damn I work on Titan so I probably saw you lmao. I definitely saw myself a few times in this video hahaha
If you remember a guy in a black t-shirt with yellow text in the early morning of June 11th it may have been me.
Speaking of Ednor, it is said that it's due to the name of a sea monster we saw at the park on March 30th 2010
Very interesting.
Nice review of Six Flags La Ronde.
Thank you
My kids like to go (7 and 10) so we go pretty often as we live right next to it. It’s certainly not a top tier park but there’s enough stuff to do for them to have a lot of fun. Considering the great location and history of this park, I feel a bit of investment would do wonders.
Did you ride Ednor in the front row?
Almost but not quite front
Thank you for calling out the boomerang. I hate that coaster. Painful ride.
No problem. I enjoyed the park, but I must admit that that ride was awful.
Looks like a fun park. The title of this vid 😂
I’m glad you like the title.
ednor feels like a 17 magnitute earthquake that doesn't stop
fun fact I think they named Vampire that way because its a bat man, and i got more headbanging on that then the boomerang
but yeah, honestly I think la ronde is a great place
La Ronde is awesome and I guess there is a little headbanging on Vampire.
@@ThemeParkAvenue it definitly did but in no way did it ruin the ride
Going in September for the first time and I can't wait! My home park is Wonderland. Coaster Studios did smear this park. I enjoyed this review. I'm leaving my expectations open. Not every park has to be a Cedar Point or a Kings Island.
Thanks! I hope you love the park when you go. I am eager to see Coaster Studios review the park again after his revisit.
Le Monstre was great with the original trains. After Astroworld Houston was closed they moved the trains from Texas Cyclone to La Ronde and put them on Le Monstre. The coaster is still on my top 10 list, but it isn't the same.
Ednor also came from Astroworld - it was Serial Thriller there, and got moved after Six Flags closed that park.
I have no doubt that if Astroworld had stayed open, then the original trains would probably still be running on Le Monstre, and the SLC at La Ronde would not be there.
Great review of my home park! I've been going to La Ronde since the 90's, and the best era was the 2000's before Six Flags started removing many fun flat rides and 2 coasters (in 2016 and 2019). Boomerang isn't so bad if you ride it directly in the last row (for those G's when it goes backwards) and if you know beforehand how to properly hold your head throughout the ride. Vampire is awesome for the G's, and Monstre track 1 is much smoother and more fun than track 2. Those weren't beavers that you saw, they're groundhogs and they live in many areas throughout the park (and on the island in general).
Thanks for the information on the groundhogs. I’m glad you enjoyed this review!
Yup, also, Monstre 1 has the little double-down which gives some good negative Gs as well
Looks like a vibe tho idgas about the coasters as much as the atmosphere thats just me
The atmosphere and location are wonderful. Also, your channel name implies you do care about coasters.
Ednor was built basically for a very stupid and unecessary reason. Six Flags had promised the city of Montréal back in 2001 that by 2011 they were going to invest a certain ammount of money on the park. By 2009 they were no-where near achieving that ammount. So they just decided to take Serial Thriller from the former Six Flags Astroworld park that had recently closed and they installed it at La Ronde as a last minute decision. And even after doing this, they didn't manage to invest the ammount they promised.
I mean his review was a few years ago and also it was just a bad day when he went.
You are correct, and I get that he had a bad day. However, the popularity of his review means many assume that the park is bad just because of him. I wanted to inform people that the park is not necessarily as bad as he said. Granted, I’m sure the park was not run quite the same back then.
@@ThemeParkAvenue true, great video though! The title is absolutely gold though 👌😂
@@pixelmine2 thanks. The review was fun to make, but the title was just as fun.
LaRonde is my home park And i love it!
Awesome!
Sarah made him take her to La Ronde today since she's never been there. Now he's back in that park.
I heard. I'm very excited to hear his updated thoughts.
I was there but I didn't see him. Most of my colleagues who talked to them told me that Sarah had a pretty good time but that Taylor seemed miserable the entire day. I feel like he already makes up his mind about his enjoyment of the park before even entering it. So when he's inside the park, he only focuses on the negative and ignores the positive.
There a chance my friends and I were the people line cutting
I worries. It only happened once at the park and tons of people do it. It’s best not to do it, but it doesn’t bother me a ton. I was just pointing it out for the sake of the review. Were you at the park on June 11th?
Based on ride line-up alone, this park looks pretty bad still
It’s not the best in the chain for rides, but the lineup is underrated as the flat rides are fantastic.
@@ThemeParkAvenue I'm sure. I am not a big flat ride kind of guy though, although the one's you mentioned did look fun. My home park has a pretty incredible frisbee in the form of Pandemonium, so if Titan is anything like that, I am sure it is a great ride.
@@Alex-eo7my Titan is like that, but I like it more than other frisbees for the setting.
What day did you go on?
Saturday, June 11th
La Wrong.......I'm still laughing at that, Hilarious!!
Thanks! I’m glad to hear that.
I love the title 😂
Thank you. It’s one of my favorite parts of the video
@@ThemeParkAvenue I love your park reviews because you actually go through your whole day which gives a good idea of park quality
@@Jackp499 I’m happy to hear that. I always enjoy sharing stories about trips so it’s great to hear that that style works in a review format.
I think you got lucky on your monstre ride because as a local who rides it quite often it is definitely the worst wooden roller coaster. I remember riding my first ever woody after le monstre and I was like wow woodies can actually be smooth and enjoyable. Not only the smoothness but the layout is just extremely boring considering how huge the layout is. It definitely deserves some rework and would be an amazing rmc conversion. For such a famous and fan favourite roller coaster in the park, I think people deserve better.
That’s unfortunate but I know I’m one of few fans of the ride.
Wonderful
Indeed
They should add launch coaster
A launch coaster could be excellent and help the ride lineup a lot.
it is a groundhog not a beaver
Oh. Thank you for the clarification.
@@ThemeParkAvenue I am surprised you saw one i was there today and they were not there
@@shmuelkaufman9082 Interesting
which day of the week did you go?
nvm you answered this at 12:38 :D
I was about to type Saturday, but I guess you found out!
Maybe Coaster Studios Had A
Every Unlucky Experience And You Just Got
Super Lucky
Maybe, but I feel that Taylor was unfair with some criticisms and because many shelve the park entirely because of him, I wanted to show people that the park is not as bad as he said.
Man's been dissin on Bybee lately! Everyone's able to have different opinions and experiences which is cool but is there like a grudge or something you got against him?
I do have something against Taylor, but for this particular video I felt it was important to bring up his criticisms. He is probably the first thing people think of when they hear “La Ronde” and his review kind of tarnished the reputation of the park for half a million people. He acted quite objective and arrogant with his criticisms of the people, food, and layout and I understand that was just his experience but he still made the park look bad and acted a bit objective. I feel that he could have been less harsh on the park. For example, in my Great Escape review I made it clear that there were factors that made the day worse than it could have been and apart from the title tag line and maybe my comment about Canobie Coaster, I feel I was not too mean and gave advice on how to have a better time than I did that wasn’t just “don’t go here”. My issue with Taylor was when I first did a YTP of him, asked permission to use his clips, and he threatened to take down my channel before I had started making the video. He also just seems to be a bit rude and arrogant toward others, though that could be related to his immense sub count. He also makes so little good content now so I can’t say “at least his videos compensate for his attitude”, but that’s subjective. Also, I don’t recall dissing Taylor much before this video. If you are referring to the rap battle, that one was honestly meant to be a positive video for them. It may not come off as a tribute, but it had to have disses. What else did I do that dissed Taylor?
@@ThemeParkAvenue I understand that people lately aren't in love with Taylor and there had been a point where I got a little annoyed with the channel last year. However, keep in mind his review was from 2017, so the parks had time to change. Yes I think he sets the reputation for many rides/parks, often not in the best way. However, people need to know they can be opinionated and feel differently, even checking out certain things for themselves.
@@hedgehogcoasters7239 I agree. I don’t think he should have said things that were false to make the park look better, but I want people to know that they should give the park a chance. It’s just that so many people tell me La Ronde sucks when they haven’t gone, and I imagine Taylor is the main reason they hate it.
To be fair coaster studios made his review 4 years ago and things change
I agree. That said, his review is still the one most people use to learn about La Ronde, so I think the improved operations needed to be mentioned in an updated review.
I think people should go to the park and make opinions for themselves and I use reviews more of what to expect about the park and then base my opinions on the trip
@@EtaM29 I’m glad to hear that. I feel that his particular review made a lot of people hate the park.
Not a beaver that was a groundhog🤣 people tend to think they are beavers bcuz its canada ,but those are mainly by little rivers
Thank you for the information. A few people told me that.
@@ThemeParkAvenue😅no problem
Those weren't beavers but groundhogs lol And La Ronde also has foxes but they stay away from customers
Went Friday... THE OPERATION WAS HORIBLE... We did Orbite yes... but we waited 1h30... To then wait another 1h to get into titan. But anyway everything else was good. The line outside was a little big, if only the guy that was doing our tickets didn't took 20 minutes obligating us to get an account that we didn't even needed to then see that nothing was working and giving up by sending us somewhere else where we waited 1h15... The rides were fun but everything else exept the food was fine. Oh and they took my dollar store chair for some reason... I guess they tought I would kill someone with a chair... Anyway
This has been a tough week for Coaster Studios 😂
Wait, what else happened?
Also, while I did throw shade I wasn’t trying to insult him but rather inform people that his visit should not be the literal face of La Ronde’s reputation like it is now.
It keeps deleting my comment to you. It's the fiasco with CS ticket website endeavor. Got shutdown yesterday and he was getting destroyed on Reddit.
@@floridamaddogg oh dang. I was unaware of that. I don’t suppose you got swindled out of money, did you.
@@ThemeParkAvenue they are refunding money to,the members that joined, but No, I never signed up for it. I already have Sea World platinum pass, cedar fair platumim pass, as well as fun spot pass. I don't need any tickets right now😂
Coaster Studios has since done an updated review of la ronde, and it is a slightly more favorable review of it.
I enjoyed that video. He was very mindful of several park aspects and I’m glad he didn’t act as if there are no good visits to La Ronde.
That's not a beaver, that's a Groundhog. Beavers are way bigger in size.
A few people have told me this. Thank you for the correction.
Bro canobie and Taylor had to wait 2 HOURS and Taylor said he saw people playing in the restrooms no wonder he thought it was shitty park
Absolutely. I did not have those issues, so I just wanted people to know that not every trip to La Ronde is like theirs. I know the title implies I am discrediting Taylor, but I honestly just couldn’t pass up the pun.
Dude I work there. And yes the lineup can get up to 2 hours during our most crowded days which is pretty rare that it gets to that point. It usually takes about 15 minutes to get into the park on average. Taylor also went on one of the most crowded days of the year which was on one of the days that schools from all over the metropolitan area of Montréal come to visit the park. So imagine, the park was packed of school kids with very little supervision... But again, it's rarely like this. Taylor pretty much just went on a really bad day
Flash pass? Worth it?
Not unless it’s extremely crowded. If you are going soon it’s probably not worth it.
@@ThemeParkAvenue going there September 3rd. Thinking of getting it or not. Don't want to waste time standing. 😂 Thanks.
Bro that’s a groundhog not a beaver. Unless you did see a beaver and didn’t show it in the vid.
My mistake. I don’t see many large rodents where I’m from.
@@ThemeParkAvenue yeah man. Canadas wonderland has a lot of groundhogs as well.
La Ronde became a Six flag only in 2001....it wasn't that bad before...got worst after six flags got in....they don't give a dine of that park and it is a petty because the view is so great and the park have a lot of potential if they tried...but I do understand our park don't stand a chance versus other park that are open more than 4 months a year...
❤❤❤👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🥰🥰😭😭😭😭😭
La ronde
😊😊😊😊
And don’t hate on coaster studios it’s his opinion
I didn’t hate on Coaster Studios. He is allowed to hate the park, but when his review ruined the reputation of the park, I think people need to know that it is worth giving a chance.
@@ThemeParkAvenue oh ok well I apologize for being rude I just thought you were hating on him
@@number_1_audio_person281 no worries. Thanks for watching.
Monstre is NOT pronounced like Monster, at all. Not even in English. Also, the mini rail WAS the atmosphere of the park. Since it's removal, there is no soul.
I have learned the pronunciation since making this video, but thank you.
ORBITE!
Nope the Poutine portion hasn't changed in a decade or more literally
That’s good to know and makes the Coaster Studios review surprising. I don’t suppose you’ve seen his review?
@@ThemeParkAvenue Oh yess I saw it. It was even shared in our employee facebook group so literally the entire park has seen it lmao
@@TitanLRV Late reply but I suddenly became curious: is that review sort of a joke amongst employees that is sometimes referenced out of the blue?
@@ThemeParkAvenue Haha that's fine. I remember it was back when it first came out. I remember hearing employees discuss the video in the cafeterias. Pretty much everyone seemed to agree and disagree on the same points
In the last few 3-4 years most of La Ronde's older employees left and La Ronde started hiring a new generation of younger employees who never even heard of coaster studio's video. So his review is pretty much forgotten now amongst employees
@@TitanLRV perhaps we should remind them.
Just saying, Monstre’s track one is better than track two, and the yellow train ruins the ride for some reason
I rode Track 1 and liked it.
I finally joined ace
Cool
@@ThemeParkAvenue and congrats on the growth! You deserve it! It has been a long journey and it has payed off! Almost at 4,000! Can’t wait to see where you are in a few years. Just remember me when you get there!
Six flags killed the nostalgia and has never tried to fix the park so it’s near the bottom for six flags parks for me
Who is Taylor?
Taylor Bybee is the creator of the channel Coaster Studios. He hated your park in 2017 but went back last month and might re-review.
I need to disagree, i hate La Rondre (not bcs of CS)
I've been 2 times to this park, and what an ugly park. There was garbage everywhere, it's dirty, the paint was poorly done, not a great park to look at. The only positive point i can say for now is the location, it's pretty unique on an island.
The operations.... What a disaster... I've waited 3h30 to do Goliath and they said only 1 hour!!! It's an incredible waste of time!!! They were running only 1 train on this ride, and we were waiting ouside, right under the hot sun... The wait was endless
The entrance, i've waited minimum 45 minutes just to go in, the line was endless again.
So, if ONE DAY, they will add a good coaster, i will return, if not, i won't (and i live near, like about 5h, i can go easily)
That does sound really bad. I am happy that your dislike for La Ronde is actually based on experience though, so I respect your opinion.
@@ThemeParkAvenue I would prefer spend alot more money to go to Canada’s Wonderland. La Ronde really desapointed me
@@_pic0_301 5h it’s not really near but ok 😂. And I understand your point on lines like some days there’s a lot of people and they’re missing staff so the wait takes forever. But it’s rare. For the dirty part idk every time I went there it was pretty clean so maybe bad luck. And for the paint…..like they don’t paint like each month and not even each year and with our winters and raining days it’s normal that the paint it’s not like flashy….even more….it’s a park created in 1967
@@fifasimulation8460 (Je suis français, tu me sembles Français mais je vais répondre en anglais mdr)
When i said like i live 5 hours away and i'm near, i was comparing myself to Theme Park Avenue that lives in the US.
For the paint, i'm used to Walt Disney World (went there multiple times) so i'm used to clean parks with good paint. La Ronde just looks abandoned. Not a great place to be at . I'd prefer spend my money to go to WDW of even Canada's Wonderland
They took out La Pitoune too!!! I was so pissed off!!!!
@@_pic0_301 Well I mean you are comparing the paint job on buildings at La Ronde which made almost no profit at all during the pandemic to that of Disney parks which are owned by one of the richest entities of the world
Le Monstre is terrible they need to demolish that giant piece of garbage they had to add so much padding to the carts the entire frame shifts on one turn and they keep having to patch it up
AND IT TAKES A MASSIVE CHUNK OF THE PARK
also I sat in the very back of the Ednor and it was nowhere near as much of a head smasher as flight deck I've been on the Ednor numerous times and I can confirm flight deck is way worse
and the staff at La Ronde are often pissy and rude not all of them but a good portion because most of them are 18 and just generally kind of careless for example just one of the things I witnessed at La Ronde was a girl that got sick and fainted in the line right in front of an employee and I literally had to tell the employee to get her water or ice or something because they were just standing there like headless chickens.
If La Ronde is your local park I'm sure you understand
I agree with you mostly, but I’m from Ontario, and I just got back from Quebec. I tell ya, a lot of Quebecers hate English speakers, especially Americans, and especially outside of MTL.
Taylor Boobee having a whack opinion? who would have thought.......
Lol. Granted his was clearly based on the fact that he just had a bad experience. I just want people to know that his opinion is not the only one in regards to La Ronde.
I would rather punch my TV than go to this La Embarrassment of a Six Flags Park.
I take it you’ve never been? What have you seen or heard that makes you hate the park?
@@ThemeParkAvenue I live in Pennsylvania why would i pay hundreds of dollars JUST to go to this Park? Same thing with Canadas Wonderland. I dont find myself ever going to those parks because A. I don't have family who live there.
B. It's expensive to go there.
C. I've seen Carnivals with a better ride lineup.
@@gianfeliciano9816 I’m not saying you need to go to the park (though a trip to Montreal is always wonderful if you get the chance), but the point of this review was to show that people on the internet who act like you can only have a bad time at the park are not correct. The park can be fun and the ride lineup is underrated in my opinion. I am not invalidating haters, but the park should not have too much shade thrown at it until it has been experienced to some extent.
@@ThemeParkAvenue I honestly think i have a better chance of going to Six Flags Mexico thh because i gave family who lives there
@@gianfeliciano9816 that park looks quite fun. If you get the chance to go, I hope you love it.
What the heck is stapling???
It’s when a lapbar is pushed down on your thighs to the point that you have no wiggle room and often feel pain.
That place looks trash
Why Ronde! You english speaking white boys pronounce it wrong, La Ronde? It's French, LA Rondé!
