We arrived at the park around 2:30 PM. When we got to the toll, they told us to go to the back parking lot. We went in the back entrance. We relized how crowded the park was, so we went to guest relations to get the handicap pass. My sister has arthritis.

First we walked over to Le Cobra. This season Savannah reached 54 inches. We walked up the exit, and told us to come back at 3. We decided to go on Orbite becuase Savannah had never been on an S&S Space Shot. It was great. Savannah screamed the whole time, but she loved it. But Savannah started not to feel well. And started complaning . From Orbite, we saw that Le Boomerang got stuck on the first lift. And it kept moving back and forth. So Boomerang was out of the question, for now.

Anthony and I decided to ride Le Vampire. We still prefer Batman The Ride. But it's no where is good as Talon. After that. We sat down and ate. Poutine rocks! Le Vampire got stuck before we got on it. But it was only for one minute. Anthony and I couldn't go on Le Cobra with out Savannah. So we skipped it. We went in the Nintendo Dome.

We all wanted to go on Bob L'éponge 3D, so we tried it. We all hated it. I'll never go on this again! I don't like Spongebob that much, but that's not th reason. There were three preshows. The first one was just the main menu of the Spongebob movie. The main theater was much bigger. And it had a balcony for little kids who can't use the seats. The main reason we hated it was the harnesses. Yes! This ride had OTSR! They hurt! Also is was alot shakier, and the vibration when the jellyfish stings you, was so hard, that it made me scream! It reminded me of The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter.

We heard thunder, so Savannah, Anthony and I ran to Le Monstre. We got the last car on track 1. i got on ride footage of it. There are NO camera rules La Ronde. I don't care if this coaster has Morgan trains, it still rocks!

After that we ran to Super Manège. Got an other POV. It was a little rougher than usual but still good. After that I went on Manitou. Wow this gives you excellent airtime! Boomerang reopened. And i was the only one with this credit. But no one wanted to go on it because it was breaking like crazy. I went on by myself.

Wow this ride sucks! It hurt really bad. It bounced up and down like a really bad wooden coaster. I have on-ride footage from it though. After I got off, it got stuck on the second lift and it sat there for one mintue and rolled back two feet and sat there for an other ten minutes. Than Super Manège got stuck on the top of the lift for the fourth time.

After that we went on Le Dragon. This is still one of my favorite indoor coasters. I got an other POV. After that we went on the Minirail. We took one and a half laps. We got off and went on L'Pitoune. We didn't get wet.

After that. Savannah braved up and said, I'll go on Le Cobra. She figured she should get on her first stand up coaster. Getting in the stand up seats, Savannah was freaking out a little. Going up the lift she was a bit nervous. Me an Anthony put our hands up. Savannah screamed. And than we were both in shock. Savannah put her hands up in the loop. This was the best ride I ever had on this ride. Savannah was so happy she rode it.

Then we went on Le Vampire. Savannah loved this, and put her hands up on this too. Savannah and I went on Orbite again after Le Vampire. It was good. Savannah loves Vekoma! Expecially there Boomerangs, so we went on Le boomerang. Anthony doesn't care for Boomerangs, so it was just us two. I still don't like this ride. But Savannah likes it. She's now been on three Boomrangs.

Anthony, Savannah and I went on Le Monstre again. But we waited for the fron't row. It was good. Savannah and mom went on Le Spirale. So Anthony and I went on Le Dragon again.

After that. Savannah and Anthony took a ride on Condor. After that. Savannah, Anthony and I got our credit on La Marche du Mille-pattes. Wow this ride is good. It's a kiddie coaster with great airtime!

Mom, Savannah, Anthony and I took a ride on Joyeux Moussaillons. It was nice. Except at the end. Savannah and I got soaked on the little hill. While Anthony and mom laughed at us. The park closed so we went home.

I'm really looking forward to the new B&M hyper "Goliath", next year. It looks like a TON of FUN!!!
 
I agree. But I think Goliath in Six Flags Over Geogia looks better. It looks very similar to Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure (My home park, besides Coney Island), and I love Nitro (Even though Kingda Ka and Superman: Ride Of Steel at Six Flags New England are better), so it should eb really good. On my first trip when I ws 13, back in 2003, I rode El Diablo and The House of Glass, and those were amazing, and they were both taken away!

Also, the pictures and videos are on my site in my signature.

We are planning an East Cost coaster trip next summer and plan to visit Six Flags New England, Great Adventure, Hersheypark, Dorney, La Ronde, Great Escape and any little parks that may come in our path!
 

Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows what the admission prices are for La Ronde in Montreal. I couldn't find the prices on their website. DH and I are hoping for a trip in September in 2006. Nothing like planning ahead. :rotfl2:

You must go to my home park, ConeY Island. Cyclone is my #1 coaster. Also if you go to Great Escape, don't miss the Comet, it's awsome. Also, make a trip to Knoebels, it's my favorite park.

I don't know the ticket prices, I used my SF season pass.

Oh, we definitely will do Knoebels. Gotta ride the Phoenix.

I think it was about $29.99 but we had coupons from somewhere. It usually is quite reasonable. It looks like they aren't sure what the prices will be for next year.

Don't forget Twister and The Flyers. THEY ALLOW SNAPPING :banana:

Sounds like fun. Do you have to be strong to snap?
 
No yopu actually don't. I was afraid to do it at first, But my sister (9 at the time) and I sat together the first time, and she snapped it by accident, than figured out how to do it. Gave it to me, and I did it. It's alot of fun and easy!

Well, we will give it a try! Any other tips for the other parks we are going to?
 
Okay, try doing the Jersey shore. There are many parks. Go down to Wild Wood to Mories Pier. If your going to SFNE try to get to Lake Compounce in Bristol Conneticut(sp?). Rye Playland is an other one. If you credit ***** yourself like I do, than there are alot of kiddie parks too.

-200th post.
 
How many coasters have you ridden? Last summer we did the west coast coaster tour and had a great time. In two years we hope to get to Alton Towers.
 
My son has 170 and he is 16. We should add about 65 or so next summer!
 
WOW! As Napolean Dynomite might say: "LUCKY!"

My twin brother had 78 and my 9 year old sister has 57. She's braver at 6 then she was than me.
