- The Continuing History of La Ronde: Montréal faces multiple challenges to put together one of the world's greatest events, Expo 67 and through its determination a new theme park is born, La Ronde. #laronde #expo67 #montreal
i'm an aglophone in Ontario, but I feel like I should say la histoire, je t'aime
I will meet you halfway and call it L’histoire… lol
This series is truly amazing. This is by far the most extensive and detailed documentary about my home park La Ronde. I cannot believe it didn’t pop in recommended feed earlier. Looking at all this history behind this park, it just goes to show how Six Flags has unfortunately been neglecting the place over the last decade, despite its history. It’s more obvious than ever in recent years, with “un-announced” closure of landmarks such as Pitoune, Spirale, and now Monorail last week. All missed opportunities of farewell goodbye to show some respect of the park’s history, which I’m sure many people from Quebec would have appreciated.
Do you have any plan to move forward with the series with a Part IV and beyond, from Expo 67 to today? It would be awesome…
Thank you! There is indeed 4 more parts to come including two very soon!
Worth adding that Le Galopant, the merry-go-round installed in 1967 (and built in 1885), has been closed since 2019 and facing an uncertain future. I spoke with La Ronde staff, and they've confirmed there are no plans to reopen it, just maintain it for now as a visual attraction. If it doesn't re-open for the 2023 season, I suspect it'll be sold and moved out of La Ronde at some point. It's historic value is too great to let it languish and deteriorate.
@@Apple2gs Part 4 (very soon to come out) mentions this :)
@@more_bumps_ahead - Really looking forward to it! Incidentally, there's some tragic events that happened at La Ronde you may want to mention (the blue collar strike that caused the death of 3 dolphins, the two drowning incidents at the Lake (in 1973 and 1979) and the death caused by Le Vampire rollcoaster in 2012. I added them to the 'History' section of La Ronde over on Wikipedia if you want more details.
@@Apple2gs I feel you will be both surprised and elated with the subject of our next video, and there are a few more tragedies at the park to add to these...
Vous mentionnez qu'il y avait un «bateau pirate», mais ce bateau était une réplique de «La Grande Hermine», la nef de Jacques Cartier. Après l'Expo 67, le bateau a été en montre au parc Cartier-Brébeuf de Québec, endroit où Cartier et ses hommes ont passé l'hiver 1535-1536.

Wow! Really awesome video! By the way it's La marche du mille pattes and not La Journée du mille patte lol
The subway was fully automated ... no driver in 1967 .... the first of its kind in North america
55 million visitors .... Montreal open up the world to Canada ... immigration started after Expo67 .... anglophones of Canada had never been to Montreal and was suprised to see french signs on the road .... in 2023 , anglophones have not changed ... still uniligual and ignorant about Quebec , its culture and the importance of Quebec in the history of Canada . Toronto was still at that time discriminatory againts Montreal ... it has not changed in 2023 .... still ignorant people of Toronto about Canada and Quebec world class engineering, creativity , open minded to the world and the best city in CAnada .
