LA RONDE
Montreal, Canada
Six Flags Theme Parks
 Park News - (1/20/12) In addition to a new ride announcement (see below), La Ronde has started to use a new logo on their website, using the Six Flags style red letter font.
(1/2/12) Screamscape sources tell us that Condor at La Ronde may be removed over the winter, possibly to make way for some kind of new attraction. Anyone know more?
(7/27/10) The thought has crossed the mind of most coaster riders at one point or another… what would you do if your restraint popped open in mid ride? It happened this past week to a 12 year old on the Boomerang at La Ronde just as the train began it’s backwards plunge into the second half of the ride. He tried to close it again, closed his eye and hoped for the best… and as designed, the centrifugal force kept him in his seat through to the end of the ride. Apparently the restraints released on two other riders in the same car as well, though the riders departed before they could be identified as part of the incident.
2012 - Vol Ultime - (1/20/12) La Ronde has confirmed the rumor about adding a new Star Flyer ride this week and will name it Vol Ultime. Guests riding in the 16 different twin-seat units will be spun and lifted 45 meters (148 ft) into the sky. Vol Ultime will go beside Disco Ronde, right behind Vertigo.
(1/6/12) I’m told that the German attractions publication Kirmes Revue has written that La Ronde will be adding a 45 meter tall Star Flyer ride (Sky Screamer).
(1/3/12) I’m not certain yet, but the latest rumor swirling around La Ronde suggests that the park may add a SkyScreamer ride, similar to the one’s going into Six Flags Great Adventure and Fiesta Texas this year.
