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.

We are pleased to provide a new UPDATED park review for La Ronde, following another visit 5 years after this one. Check out that video here! czcams.com/video/v5dWZRRqRrI/video.html
40% "la ronde is not that bad"
10% "lol yes it is"
50% "POUTINE IS A MEAL"
I'm in the 10%. Perhaps people who like This park haven't been to other parks and think it's great. Before visiting many other parks I thought it was great but now I see it's terrible and it's just mediocrity
@@imnotcool2100 who's probaly not 99% Canadian?
@@imnotcool2100 that still doesn't answer the question, and okay I typed it quickly. Ironic you point that out when you write u instead of you just an FYI
Are u french
50% people speak French hurr durr
50% poutine
Children playing in a literal human waste catcher: no comment

u can’t judge it unless you’ve tried it
But like- poutine is amazing
Everyone’s focused about the poutine and not the six flags review lmao
"Reveiw" It was a rant about canadians and the park being popular..
No its not and shutup I'm talking to u Commun
It’s the Canadians
wait....
that’s me
@@communismkilled4xmorethanh141 that would make sense if he hadn’t given good reviews about other Canadian Parks and other ones outside the US. Your park sucks ass, hold this L.
@@communismkilled4xmorethanh141 You act like he hasn’t given praise to PNE Playland or Canada’s Wonderland, or he hasn’t talked about any park outside of Canada.
3:15 On that day, middle schoolers had a field trip at La Ronde.
EDIT : These were all of the teens with the orange and gray shirts.
Emanuel Vaccaro worst days to go there for sure
Exactly!! Like if you go in August or September, it would even be a line
Trust me as a Canadian. Not even a Quebecois, but trust me. Poutine is a meal here in Canada.
As a québécois I approve this message
im canadian too and it is a meal
Me to I am sure poutine is a meal
I went to la ronde and the poutine was way to small
poooooooooutine :)
I think you really need to understand the backstory to understand this park. It hasn't always been under Six Flags management, and they haven't put all that much money or effort into the park beyond Goliath. It was the amusement park left over from Expo '67, and has been added to little by little over the years. It was never intended to be a fully fledged regional park, much less a fully-fledged Six Flags park. The hope was that Six Flags would bring it closer to that goal, but they just haven't bothered. In fact, instead they took out some classic flat rides that gave the park character and had been there for quite some time. (Think: Six Flags Great America-style flat rides and you'll know what I mean.)
The real point of the park is to be a wonderful afternoon diversion from Montreal, itself. A place to go before or after food and cultural festivals elsewhere on the mid-river islands, or to watch the summer fireworks festival. On those terms it works great, especially before Six Flags when the older classic rides were still around, and Le Monstre was still being operated as a racing coaster. Back then the park delivered because it didn't overpromise. Right now, Six Flags over promises and that's the problem. It really needs to be under better management. FWIW, It's Le Vampire because of licensing issues. It really was supposed to be Batman.
On the other hand, you were in somebody else's city in somebody else's province in somebody else's country, so complaining that you hadn't bothered to learn a word of the local language--or bothered to learn that you were actually in an incredibly bilingual city and could easily have used English with anybody you encountered--that's really on you, not on the 2 million people who live in the Montreal region. Your cultural sensitivity in this video is essentially zero.
Michael Thaddeus Doyle Exactly. I almost felt offended watching this video being a bilingual montrealer growing up WITH LaRonde...
How very true sir ...i worked there for some 14 seasons until the Six Flag ...
Michael Thaddeus Doyle Well say !!
I kinda took it as not that he was mad that other people didn't speak only english, but that having an issue with communications on top of having all the other issues added to the stress of the day. Obviously still on him to learn some french, but Idk that's just how I understood it, I could be wrong.
Wow you're totally right mate! ENFIN UN COMMENTAIRE ANGLAIS QUI SE DÉMARQUE 😁!!!!!
“There were these obnoxious lines to get on all the good rides”
Yeah, that kinda happens at amusement parks.
Have you been to Great Adventure or Dorney?
@@gianfeliciano9816 yeah there's like no line for anything at great adventure this entire season
Lol no, this "park" is absolute dogshit.
@@kevinkujo318 because they raised the price
There are only two decent parks in the entire country. And this is one. Of course its busy all summer.
"I don't think I have ever waited so long to enter a park."
I think Busch Gardens Tampa on Spring Break is a worthy contender for longest wait.
Now imagine this spring break because iron gwazi is also opening hahaha :(
I've seen videos of the entrance line going all the way back to where Montu is. If I got to the park and I saw that line, I would leave.
I'm not sure if I'll ever go to Lake Compounce again after a 1 hour wait to enter the parking lot.
Disneys magic kingdom during Christmas is…
There's a very good chance that those French speakers knew English. Heck, even in France it's not all that unlikely. We anglophones are the only people who tend not to learn a second language.
Also, I mean, it's a francophone region so obviously people will speak french
Yeah exactly, as for me I live in Montreal where LaRonde is located and i can speak decent english.
Unfortunately, Quebec is known for language snobs who know English but refuse to speak it.
While that may be part of politics and Union rights, it's not a nice way to treat visitors.
@@JLvatron Not only in Quebec, french speakers in general tend to refuse every other language than french. Very noticeable also over here in europe, if you go to France and Belgium.
@@Shackwe k but it's kinda unreasonable that he EXPECTED for people to speak English. Sure some people speak both but whenever I went the majority spoke french only.
@@chip3003 9/10th of Canada speaks english, Montreal is a very international and tourist heavy city, it's not unreasonable to expect English at Amusement parks run by an American company in the second largest city in Canada. If it was in rural Quebec, that would be unreasonable to expect English, but he wasn't.
im from quebec and i have to say that the lines are very long at La Ronde because it's the only one park that we have in quebec and because it's the only one , we have to appreciate it
Edit: Wow, so many likes! Thanks!
Julien Lévesque damn right
Julien Lévesque i live at 10minitutes from their and all he says it's true but I used to it cause I got their since 5yeurs old
Julien Lévesque I live in Quebec to
Julien Lévesque Same! I’m also from qc
That's true, but the way he said poutine and Montreal and La Ronde bothered me so much, I'm from quebec too btw
Being from montreal, La ronde used to be really good before six flags got involved, it had more of a local fare feel to it. Once they started to remove timeless rides and replace them with remnants of rides from other parks. For example for the 2020 season we are getting the 4d Greenlantern ride which has been deemed horrible by so many. It's as if la ronde has become six flags' dumping ground for stuff that doesn't work.
well..I guess Green Lantern would have been better than nothing now :D
Lol it’s getting green lantern
Lmao best ride of the decade
I KNOW WE'RE SO UNLUCKY WTH
god bless their souls
Six Flags is so smart. Their thought process was lets make a park experience as bad as we can and then ruin the only good thing about it (the decent coaster collection) by removing le monster and the intamin standup which is a rare credit and replace those with the worst coaster of all time!
Sending a bad coaster to a bad park
3:33 says he isn't giving the park a hard time and then complains that he doesn't speak French
no lol he's upset about the people being rude and stuff
@@macias7125 The French speaking crowd is a compounded problem.
Doesn't half of the parks he goes is from other countries? Also theirs a part of cananda where people speak French
I like you Taylor, but some of your complaints were quite ignorant. First of all, poutine is a Canadian staple. It's a meal. It's not just fries with cheese or bacon, it is fries, cheese curds and gravy and it is really filling. Sure, a small portion could be considered a side, but in general, it is eaten as a meal. Secondly, you can't get mad at people for speaking French and English in a bilingual province. Not everyone in the world speaks English. If you were to go to China would you be mad that they were speaking Mandarin or Cantonese? I'm sure you didn't mean to offend, but judging a park because the patrons speak their native language isn't a valid complaint.
He's just mad about Canadian's people, he sound dumb and ignorant as well.
I'm Canadian. Poutine is NOT a meal, it is a snack, and the only time it could be considered more than a meal is when there's more meat then fries. Especially considering that he got a theme park poutine, which is probably much smaller than a snack size poutine
PizzaProGaming If poutine isn't a meal, how come so many restaurants serve it as such? It is a meal. It can be both a meal and snack depending on the portion size, but it absolutely is a meal.
I'm from Quebec, and yes, poutine is considered a meal. There are amazing ones out there, such as pulled pork poutines (which is nothing like the crap they serve in La Ronde. And yeah, the comment about the language I must say was completely ignorant. Even in Ottawa, people speak French. Bienvenue au Canada mon ami!
Also this guy was most likely treated bad because he was a yank lmao
so it has been 2 years since this video was posted, and i think some rather large changes have been made:
-they need to improve on up keeping of the rides. (still)
-they still use the same entrance methods but it is way faster now.
-i only spotted a few problems with fellow park goers (also all teens may i add) with jumping the lines, which staff was all over and made them go to the end of the line
-the music was a reasonable volume (and i do agree it was oddly loud in 2017)
-i believe the meals have been changed to things more filling.
-it is still unaesthetic to look at (like most six flags)
-the bathrooms were slightly unhygienic but like any other public bathroom. (said both genders.)
-ques are still slow due to their loading process.
-they have better employees
-There's plenty of lost kids
Tips to take with you to La Ronde, if anyone is looking to go:
-line up to enter an hour early if you want to enter the fastest.
-line up for the rides you want to go one first when you first get in.
-scope out the park before going
-study up on French, and English (most employees speak only french with minimal English)
-security at the gates most often only speaks french (from my experience)
-don't talk about vampire's name (it is a copy of batman, but had licensing issues)
-just be a good park goer
-HELP THE LOST KIDS (this happens too much)
please keep in mind, this is my experience, and yours may be different. for reference i went on June 23rd, 2019, and they have improved since i last went in August 2017. this is not supposed to be a hate message, but instead informative, this is a note for recent park goers considering La Ronde
i would like to congratulate you on making it to the bottom, thanks for reading
ok I can understand the snack food employees not speaking English but the SECURITY?? WITH ALL EM LOST KIDS?? Thats just plain dangerous!! its the most widely spoken world language, french is not, so if a person dosent come from Quebec, chances are that persons knows at least a little English, not to mention its the second language of Quebec itself. And there wouldnt be anything done about the fact security dosent speak english, because Quebec has a grudge against english, thinks its loosing french when its totally fine, so opresses english and its speakers. vice versa with french and the rest of Canada, particularily Ontario.
@@tornadodee148 You don't need english in your daily life so if you don't practice it you will lose it eventually. Most people do know english, some are perfectly bilingual and some are so bad at it and have a very pronounced accent that you just can't understand them.
take the chill pill man
@@Boby9333 its. SECURITY. guards. it should be a standard for every employee of an EMERGENCY type of job to at least know some english. We are a billingual COUNTRY. As a SECURITY guard, the person that you are trying to help is at high risk of speaking french, but is also at a high risk to only be able to communicate with you in english, since,you know, YOU'RE STILL IN CANADA. and since your job is to assure the SECURITY of the parc, well, its kinda important to know what that person is saying if he/she is in distress. so yes, I am a bit shocked that a SECURITY guard does not speak a bit english.
@@tornadodee148 "opresses english speakers" lmfao 😂.
@@tornadodee148 just learn french, it wont kill you
Getting annoyed because people are speaking french in a french speaking city , wow. You must be American.
Nadia Arkison god you are annoying.
David Baines you must be American too
he wasn't annoyed that they spoke french, he was annoyed at the guests being obnoxious
@Eating food is wow most people from montreal both speak french and english
Julien Boisvert how is he supposed to know that?
10:45 -- if the park made a 360° change ... It would be right back where it started. I think you meant 180°.
Yeah, that’s cringey.
This comment killed me hahaha
Yep
It's just the same as saying I'm giving 200%, mathematically it makes no sense but it's to express exaggeration.
in the time it took to make a 360 degree change he changed. so why when he's back at the start is he not changed. you are just repeating the same phrases over and over again and it's getting old.
Sorry mate, but being from Quebec, I can say Poutine is one hell of a meal. Most popular meal in all of Quebec actually.
Why does every non Canadian hate it
JuggerSnake because the non canadian version is made with barbecue sauce
Yeah that must be why. I guess plain brown sauce is a canadian thing as well?
E.T The Extra Terrestrial he probably didn't find it filling which may be a portion problem on the parks part
JuggerSnake nice try most people loves it
Taylor: i hope it makes a 360 degree turn
Me: 360 degrees is a full circle
No one said he was smart lol
The fact that a Vekoma boomerang is there logo is truly tragic
2001 A Waste Of Space definitely shows the quality of the park. Going there tomorrow so I’ll see if he’s right
Yes remove it
@@Coastersguy And how was it?
@@SirDella He was exactly right. It was horrible, but also I guess alot of outside factors made it that way. I went in October and it was raining so most of the coasters were closed. Too many people to really get on any rides that were operating. Long lines for food and drinks too. I've been to seven six flags parks but La Ronde is the worst. Never going back, even for the credits.
@@Coastersguy Thanks for sharing your experience. This park (from this video only) reminds me a lot about my now defunct home park which is located in south america. It shares many of the bad stuff shown here like one train operations (expected 2 hours to ride an slc), long queue to enter the park, bad food service, and ironically, it even is built around a body of water, in a compact piece of land (is that how it's said?). It's sad because the experience could've been a lot better with relatively minor tweaks
The worst thing at la ronde is that the poutine is 11$ and usually it’s 5$
Is it part gold? Because for 11$ it better have something precious in there
probably because the $6 more goes to laronde for building new roller coasters and probably staff payment
Everywhere I go the poutine is 10$+ and laronde HAS THE BEST POUTINE so it’s worth it
Wolfy Cake you should taste the poutine at benny&co, its the best for me🤷🏻♀️
You can get fully loaded Smoke's for like 8 bucks...or at least that was how much it was back when they still had a store in Los Angeles. I imagine they are like the McD's of Poutine, but you take what you can get in the US.
Taylor: poutine isn't a meal
Canada: hold my beer...
Edit *I didn’t see other comments I thought it was original sorry*
Brady Hutton don’t steal other people’s comments

Just went to Laronde. I went with very low expectations due to this review. I was pleasantly surprised. Low crowds, and Le Monstre is actually open now! Didn't expect to get that credit considering it's been closed since 2017, so that was nice. The meal plan worked out well for me and my group. I liked the flat ride selection as well. Titan is pretty insane. I will say though, the park needs shade for the queue lines. Much of the park looks very old and run down with overgrown weeds and old buildings that are empty. The park has potential to be very solid. Refurbish or tear down the old rides and scenery, get that Zac Spin up and going, RMC Le Monstre (unlikely), and get rid of that empty parking lot in the back beside Goliath. Throw a S&S free spin in there and maybe a dark ride, and you got a very solid park. One I'd gladly go back to.
I think that they should open an amusement park in Laval .There is so much space people are getting a bit bored with LaRonde ,It was an amazing park many years ago but with the different managements through the years it hasn't been outstanding like it once was/(Remember it once even had an Aquaparc with water slides)
I got to ride Le Monstre a few days ago and thought the park was supposed to be removing it, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Project Vipère is CANCELED!
Taylor in 2017: La Ronde sucks!
Taylor in 2022: La Ronde is pretty lit!
He never said it was good, He gave credit due to the firework show. He has made another update stating how the park is still horrible.
@@joeyharper4976 I know
Buddy...hah...hah....
Did you say poutine can’t be dinner?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...surrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee
Kasra .B Ikr REEEEEEEEEEE
Kasra .B he's never ordered a poutine from Benny rôtisserie.
jaymtl79 damn right he hasn’t
The "regular" size at ashton is like a goddamn buffet.
jaymtl79 criss que oui
Well, he's right. It is just french fries when it comes down to it.
Actually as someone who lives in montreal I can guarantee you that poutine is an actually lunch/ dinner
Not just as someone who lives in Montreal, more like someone who lives in Canada 😂
Yeah it is
Poutine is fries. Fries aren’t a meal. Don’t call it poutine it’s called loaded fries not poutine.
Ryan Mai wow..
So your saying that ever where else has to call it LoAdEd FrIeS
Lol yeah sure....
Well that’s what it is. The Six Flags chain is American not Canadian here in America it’s called loaded fries and it’s Better than GrAvY.
La ronde may not be the best park but poutine is a meal, you crossed the maple taffy stick now buckaroo

The reason why you can't go around the lake is that they're using that space to setup the bi-weekly fireworks. As you can imagine there would be certain risks to letting people anywhere near that. ;)
Then don't do the fireworks....or move them to a different place!
@@Gen-x-press this competition is one of the most famous international competition running since 35 years. Im pretty sure Six flags would be happy to stop it and put more ride instead, but seing those thousands of people gathering near the park 2 times a week from june to august, I dont believe they will cancel or relocate any time
Thanks atlesse someone knows
@@jaydenchrist6152 They can't! The bleachers for the crowd to watch the fireworks are right across from the lake, which gives a magnificent view on the fireworks and their reflection in the water. There's tons of pyrotechnics setup at ground level too so they take advantage of that reflection. It's one big installation that they just can't move anywhere else, since they're stuck on an island. If you're so inclined to ride that shitty monorail all around the park, you can do so outside of the firework season. ;)
@@atomicshroom I don't want to ride that shitty monorail because I don't want to go back to shitty laronde the park sucks the employees are rude and the coasters are boring except for vampire goliath and endor in my opinion monster is boring and the rest of the coasters are boring there flats are better then most of there coasters is that a thing in Canada because that's the issue with Canadas wonderland but the only outstanding flats in laronde is Titan and demon the park is crap now that six flags came

You can only go in the The maison rouge the day of Halloween u are supposed to get spooked it’s not opened all year around🤦♀️
It was suppose to be. Originally.
you got to understand why the lines are so long, its one of the only major parks in canada
Hey. We speak English too.
dphcMMD yeah but not all canadians do fair point tho I love the canadian accent my gf is from Canada.
Canadian accent? We don't have an accent we sound the same as you Americans.
Chibi Aisling we pronounce a few words differently.
He literally said that when he complains about guests he's not talking about everyone
eagleman I actually pronounce basically everything like an American
Because you think when french people go to usa they speak french with us
Well , some of them yes. But eh , who cares ?
If you meet a french person and he doesnt know english, at all, in a bilingual country hes probably pretty dumb... so just leave im be
Maybe in border states or New Orleans
@@ignorant5369 No. Bilingual means you learn it in school. That is all. It's usually three years of French in most of Canada, and in this area it's likely three years of English.
@@ignorant5369 The English speakers in Canada don't speak a word of French. So does that mean they're all dumb by your standard? :P
I'm American and Poutine is super yummy. I have a few Canadian friends too who love it.
As someone who grew up in Montreal I can explain you why there is so many teenagers (and obnoxious ones) at La Ronde.
The Thing is that La Ronde might be one of the few Six Flags that is closed to a subway Station. So makes it easy for young teenagers to go without having to rely on their parents. So every kids from Montreal , lets say age 12-17 will go with his group of friends in an unsupervised trip to La Ronde. Imagine your 14 and for the first time your going out with your friends without any parents to a theme park: you get the picture.
"if you like dirt you'll love this park" - Taylor 2017
Six Flags: LaDirt
Well, most of the landscaping is just dirt as well
Best quote of 2017!
Seriously, stapling you on a coaster with airtime.
This is bull s**t this parks better than great escape , so not the worst and the b&m hyper is amazing in the front row your just s hatter and yes this is my home park
La Ronde is not even close to my fav park but your review is way too biased against the other visitors and not really about the park itself.
it's called a hyperbole
Do you even know what hyperbole means? Holding a bias against other patrons as an excuse to diss the park is not even close.
Because the guests are part of the park.
Shawn The Park wasn't stopping any of the line jumpers and the staff was rude plus the park has almost no good rides and their best roller Coaster Goliath is just a smaller and slower version of Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland
@@kav2001c he was talking about the visitors because the park did not do anything about the visitors behavior
in 2023 the park is amaizing , people are nicer all rides are open , super manège got removed cobra got removed and Le monstre is reopened you should go there again in 5 years the park changed a lot
I feel like a lot of people missed the point of the whole review. So many dislikes over poutine lol. Look, he said he was dissatisfied with the portion size. A cheeseburger is considered a meal in America. But if you got a small burger like a slider, you would be upset that that’s all you got. And then even more upset if you were to find out that a full size burger was NOT included on the meal plan. Meal is about portion, not the item itself in my opinion. But beyond that, his poor review what NOT centered around food. It was centered around long lines, bad aesthetics, rude employees and fellow guests, closed rides, and the ones that were open were only running one train and slowing things down further. That sounds like a horrible day if you’re spending the $60-$70 PLUS parking it takes to get into a typical Six Flags park lol. It’s $64.99 plus like $20 parking here at Six Flags St. Louis and it is considered one of the worst Six Flags. Get over yourselves, dislikers. He had a bad experience. He told you about it. Not up to you to tell him how HIS experience was.
finally someone who gets it
Absolutely beautiful
So you're saying he had a bad day? Look, he was ranting about our fellow Canadians talking French, why can't he respect the we talk in 2 languages in Canada? He needs to understand that some French people can also speak English.
@@braillebuddy6530 he didn't mean that he was bothered by people speaking French. He probably couldn't speak French, which would probably add another layer of frustration. Especially if they act as obnoxious as they did that day (there is no excuse for that bathroom incident).
@@thekingofmovies193 well, he does not know any french. It's just, he should have taking a french lesson. Then he would have had a good day
As a french Canadian, WE LEARN ENGLISH AT SCHOOL ! We can understand you. Just ask as simple it is: Can you stop your kids please... Or: Please, stop. French Canadians are not stupide and can understand at least the english basics. We fought so much back in the days for having the right to speak in french out loud in Quebec. It was almost a crime in 60's to 70's to speak french in public, french canadians were judged, cursed at... But we fought. And now, we have our rights, saying that we can speak our native tongue in public. Now we are accepted and then you juste come and say that french is one of the reasons why you don't like a freakin' theme park ? And then we still learn english at school better than you learn french at yours. Bro, sorry for going this far, but hearing you saying all those things about us make me so angry. I couldn't stay in front of my computer and hear what you say about us un this video, I had to write what was in my mind. + Poutine is a meal for us in Quebec ++The workers are amazing and well treated by their employers.
perd pas ton temps mec. pour les americain(pis les anglo du cacanada) si tu parle pas anglais té rien. Ils sont le nombril du monde... gang d'attardé mentaux
that's so rude not every person was born into an english speaking family
So I have respect for everyone. If you speak french or english, it doesn't matter. The only thing I want is the same respect from people who were born in families who speak another language. Your language doesn't mean you're good, or bad or shitty.
Anonymoose, humans are not made to be assimilated, they are made to survive. Would you like to hear it if someone says to you "Let's all assimilate everyone who speaks english !". If english is part of your culture, than french is part of ours. All we want is to defend our culture and keep it in our family as much as possible. Same thing as you want for english.
Et en passant, Darthdeschenes, je suis pas un mec. Ma photo de profil c'est des membres d'un groupe si ça t'a fait penser le contraire. C'est pas grave.
Pain Doré Tu as totalement raison!
PainDoré Totally agree... I know english people who thinks I don’t understand 1 single word in english so they try to speak french and I always need to tell them I SPEAK ENGLISH DUDE
not to rant, but poutine is usually eaten as a lunch or dinner and not as a side
okay thats just dumb
Coaster Studios how is that dumb haha? That’s such a close minded thing to say
Coaster Studios Poutine is actually very caloric and fat so people eat it as a Meal.
But for the Beaver tail you’re right, it’s basically a funnel cake in another shape. And funnel cake is a snack at every six flags.
What...wow...
Coaster Studios yep
Back here after the most recent visit 😅
Me too
Y’all gotta understand that us speaking French isn’t our fault and also most people speak English. Poutine IS a meal and u should be strategic about what day u plan on going because kids are usually there on weekends and the guy in the video went during a field trip.
Steps to visiting La Ronde:
1. Don't
2. Go to Canada's Wonderland
3. Don't
Dooble Well said Coaster Bot
Just because Canada's Wonderland is in Canada doesn't mean it's close, it's about 5.5-6.5 hrs away.
W Christman I know. Still go.
well the thing about canadas wonderland is it has nothing on the monster and or the vampire lol. plus the titian is better then the one at canadas wonderland lol.
LOLOL , my home park is Canada's Wonderland !

Arrow Dynamix In french that's should be Le regret and in this video that's don't make sens. I propose in french Le désastre(you can traduce this)
It’s a play on the park’s name “La Ronde.” It’s a joke
Mackenzie Fritz Yes I have understand the joke and it's pretty fun but I just said that in french, the joke don't make really sens (can you said to RMC that my country need a coaster by them please)
+Furius Rider we don't work at rmc we can't just tel, them to give u one
Well said
Oh poor you! The king that doesn't like to wait. Don't come back here and you'll be happy.
Guys, we understand you had a different experience, but acknowledge that this is not your experience, this is Taylor’s.
Canadas wonderland is the best canadian theme park in my oppinion
Navraj Dhaliwal of course it is. It’s amazing
Yup! I'm going there next week and I can't wait!!
Navraj Dhaliwal omg omg omg Navraj ur soo my best frend! I'm Canadian too and I just luv Canada's Wonderland soo soo soo soo much I'd do any ting to go there
Navraj Dhaliwal my fav is playland PNE
Mary Kishore So do many other people like Canada Wonderland. Doesn’t make him ur best friend.
You can only really enjoy the park if you live in Montreal and can go every week or as much as possible if you have a season pass
Totally agree, La Ronde is not a tourist attraction, Its a Hangout place for local teenagers
Agreed. I feel like it's just in this weird limbo of replacing old rides and not getting new ones other than the few roller coasters at the beginning of the SF purchase. I had a pass from teens to early 20s, kind of stopped going and started getting a pass a few years ago to go as a family. I noticed how many family rides have been taken away (they were old, pieces are hard to find, I get it) but never ever really replaced with anything else. Cool we got some new thrill rides, but I feel there's missing those rides for 5-9 year olds, or even for those that are slightly older but like milder rides. Those who are getting a little too old for ribambelle but not quite old enough (nor tall) for things like the pirate ship.
There are a bunch of narcissists and ignorant people saying that Taylor complained about people speaking a different language than him. If you actually pay attention, you would realize that he actually said was "Look, I've never been one to hate on teenagers at parks because I know not all teenagers are like that, but it certainly felt that way at La Ronde. There was no respect for personal space, they didn't care, and it doesn't help that you get a weird mix of people speaking French and English so not only are they being obnoxious but you can't tell them to please stop because they speak a different language than you." This is a direct quote from the video that cannot be disputed. Time code: 3:17.

Well, In My Opinion I Love It! Sorry That You Didn't...

At least the park opened on time when you went. It opened 45 minutes late when I was there.
Lucas Bradley I have never been to a park that has opened more than 10 minutes late. Usually, they open exactly on time. Forty-five minutes late is disgraceful. I wonder if that was an emergency/fluke.
yikes
StamfordBridge Most of guests seemed to treat that as normal.
Lucas Bradley Ridiculous. If it were a place with a lot of credits, and I had traveled for a one-day, one-time visit, I’d be pretty angry at losing 45 minutes - and it’s that golden hour when the park first opens but the crowds haven’t arrived yet. I’ve sometimes gotten in half a park’s credits in that first hour.
StamfordBridge It was opening day, most likely crouds were already there
I went twice this summer and didn’t have a single problem. The maximum wait time was one hour (for the Titan and the Monster for example). A lot of nice rollercoasters took only 15 min of wait time. I think you went on a day where schools had organized events.
Advice for everyone: if you want to go, go on a Tuesday/Wednesday. The other days are pretty busy.
And for those who think Montrealers can’t talk in english, they can. Most of them fluently or at least, they’ll understand what you’re trying to say.
Have fun guys! A review should never be a final decision for you! (:
(Btw Poutine here in Quebec is definitely a meal. It’s like you can eat pizza, lasagna or poutine you know)
I have been dozens of times and I have almost never had problems like that. And by passing Coaster Studios, poutine can be a snack or a meal.
La ronde is la trash lol. I was about to go there this summer but then I relised how awful it is.
@@rexon5218 so you can call something trash without actually experiencing it. Seems logical 😒
MrShowbizguy well no I was assuming that is was bad because one of the biggest coaster enthusiasts with about 700 coaster credits sad it was terrible and the worst park ever.
@@rexon5218 Form your own opinions, wonderboy visits 1 day and calls it the worst. So now the first video that pops up while searching LaRonde is a complete burial of the park, and you won't visit because he had a rough 6 hours in an amusement park designed to amuse visitors
This review reeks of three things: entitlement, expecting everything to be catered to you specifically, and apples to oranges.
I went for the first time in my life yesterday and had an amazing time. Rides were open, lines were not too long, AND every worker I spoke with spoke both English and French.
And you went to Montréal without knowing anything about poutine, the rides and services offered at La Ronde, AND you're complaining about all the French?
No, bad review from a bad reviewer.
Absolutely!
Yeah, and he's said some racist stuff in the past as well. It doesn't surprise me one bit
i dont remember having long lines for laronde tickets🤔
LaRonde is my local park. Poutine is considered a meal here in Quebec. It is still an amazing park. BTW Le Monstre had one track closed not all of it. Also I’m sorry for the experiences of the bad guests you had here. You should give it another try in a couple of years when it gets better things here. Sometimes of their operations can be slow but the Goliath and Vampire are the quickest.
i agree
littlemonster 01 I agree, same situation here. This is not the peak of Laronde’s history AND I mean the history of Laronde is pretty rich and even started in 1867!! That’s the year when Canada was created!!
littlemonster 01 and also the Monstre is the highest wooden two way rollercoaster in the world. It might not be as grand as the king da ka, but I mean it’s still cool...
littlemonster 01 true it’s mine too and it’s actually a great parc!!!
Ouiiii comment on peut dire ça de LaRonde?? C’est un classique ylala 😠🤪🤪
Should you visit LaRonde? No. Should you go if you have the chance? Yes. So which is it? 😂 as a side note, there were broken trains and stuff just lying around. I don’t think that’s guest friendly.
Yes, it was not a park that was appealing to the eye. As for clarifying what you should do...go for the creds, but it should not be anywhere near the top of your list of "must visit" parks. Visit if you're in the area and you got nothing to do. Just so you can go once. But don't go again after that. You won't want to.
Hey, good Halloween themeing is good. If its Halloween.
What he means is you shouldn’t make effort to go there. If you’re in the area you might as well to get the credits but you shouldn’t travel to it.
Jack Rosner GP probably be like," Omg, do they use those on the coaster!? I'm not riding that!"
i actually live in montreal so yeah this is the only park i can go too lol.
dude i live in montreal and here, our first language is french, so it’s normal if there’s a lot of people who speak french and a little bit whi speak english
Mustafa Alam yeah but we are in montreal and HERE we speak french
@@victorcanuel4364 🐸 🦵🏿 stop playing victim French boy
I don't think u can complain about people not speaking your language in an area where... people don't speak your language
He wasn’t complaining about them not speaking French. He was just commenting on the fact that he couldn’t speak to them.
Living in Montreal, I used to go to La Ronde ALOT when I was a kid. There was a magical ambiance and I actually felt welcomed (and I'm pretty sure it's not childhood nostalgia). All the game stalls were open, rides were rarely closed, employees and people weren't rude. Having experienced it in the last 2-3 years, I've noticed how much Six Flags just didn't give a sh*t about this amusement park. They cut on everything. Everythings looks dead or on the edge of death/closure. Seriously, they don't even clean up after themselves: there's ride corpses EVERYWHERE. I really don't know what to tell you about the people though, I noticed that too. From what I gathered and figured out, most of them are from the south shore (450) and I felt everytime I entered La Ronde I was in a jungle with a bunch of primates. It is now a sh*tfest and I'm really sorry you had to experience this once magical park (at least to me) in it's current state.
Your video hits way too close to home... except for poutine, I stand by it.
Lol @ ride corpses. I wonder if it’s opened today with how horrible the air quality is.
i went to that parc like a thousand times, it’s not as bad as he said, maybe like he went on a bad day but i always go and is never like that oh and i did the monster one u juste went on the wrong day! So like he should stop judging cuz he went only one time!!!!
There is a problem when LaRhonde has a hyper but Knotts doesn’t have one.
Nathan Schaum Knotts is still an amazing park, in fact it’s Cedar Fairs biggest park
Zombie Slaya no it’s not
Yasin I. It is, Knotts Berry Farm is the most visited Cedar Fair park
Zombie Slaya oh wow I didn’t know that. That’s probably due to its location, otherwise I’m not a big fan of Knotts Berry, I prefer Cedar Point or Canada’s Wonderland
Yasin I. It’s also really popular with the GP

I live in Montreal and I go to this park every year. This park is not for tourists. People do not come to Montreal to go to La Ronde, so it is predominately filled with locals. Oh, Quebec is French, so get over it! This park is crap because Six Flags doesn’t care. Yes, there are a few great rides, but it is run down and dirty. Broken rides like the Cobra and Le Pitoune are left there to rot. The employees are not pleasant either. There is also not enough employees at the front gates, and it takes forever for the baggage check. If Six Flags would hire better management, it could be a lot better. A coat of paint could help! I seriously believe Six Flags writes La Ronde off as a tax loss. This park has a great history which is lost by owners who don’t care! It’s a real shame, and considering there are no other amusements close by, we are stuck with this one. Please somebody buy this park and restore it to its glory days!
omg, yes, I walked in La Ronde and the first thing I said to my friends "this park could use a paint job"
I live in Ottawa and visit Montréal quite frequently, but I have never been to La Ronde. Montréal has many other great things to offer, and I guess it makes sense that it is more of a local park where you can even take the Métro and bus there.
I am a fan of Expo 67 and La Ronde did seem like a very fun park back then, especially in the photos of the Kennedys riding La Pitoune in suits! It is sad that they are not mainting that part of history.
"The employees are not pleasant either." Ahh the French, terrible and hostile to anyone they can pretend to assert superiority over others
This is North America and the problem is French in Quebec is used way too much .It should be English first and French should be used as a novelty language , the French complain about things going sour in Quebec ,it is due too the silly closed minded of the French .
@@Jay-vr9ir Dude, what the hell is that take ? hahahaha. I'm a big proponent of bilinguism in the province but your take is just awful.

Abby Dumas and it's mostly not the park's fault if people were impolite with him .-.
In quebec the people generally speak french and a a bit of english
A bit of english now these days English and French people are bilingual!
“What dont you like about the LaRonde”
“ There were kids having fun ”
Any day at a bad theme park is better than a good day at home
Lol the people speaking french totally understand and speak English. They just didn't want to speak with you.
sounds about right.

SESH Tanguay They still were the problem, because they were being rude...
La Ronde makes Darien Lake look like Cedar Point
Maintenance Shop / Darien Lake is actually La Ronde 2.0, they got :
Intamin Hyper instead of a B&M
Motocoaster instead of Wildmouse.
An Arrow looper instead of Vekoma corkscrew.
Both have a Boomerang and a Slc, a bit smoother at Darien Lake.
Both have a bad woodie.
Both have an S&S spaceshot.
Both have the same ferris wheel.
Both were abandoned by Six Flags, yet for La Ronde they don’t admit it.
You forgot Tantrum, too.
Maintenance Shop I actually enjoyed Darien Lake. Sure they ran one trains on all their coasters, including the Boomerang, but the ops were stellar and friendly too.
Don't ever compare Viper to that mess of a ride at La Wrong Viper easily ties with ride of steel.
Wait what??? No just no. Darien lake is underrated af. ROS is my number two behind toro and actually, I consider ROS almost as good as toro. Darien lake is beautiful in a majority of the park and, is a fun place to go. Darien lake is going to be gaining a ton of attention with the new owners
I had a good experience . There was this employee Violette (I think) at manitou and vol ultime that gave out a great ride experience. All the lines on my favorite rides were super short,the staff was cool and they took down Cobra. Staff at Vampire keeps saying other rides to joke XD and many new rides were added.
I think the trains you saw will be the new 2020 ride,where Cobra was.
Entry line : 3:45:12 minutes
Monstre : open and fixed (I remember is breaking when I rode it)
This was my experience at La Ronde.
EDIT : one day Le Monstre’s personnel made us skip the line cause they needed 2 people at the back row (where we planned to go)
Oh hey this comment from 10 months ago got 2 likes yay

6:00 I’ve seen that kind of thing happen before. When I first went to Cedar Point three years ago, they took a train off on Rougarou because one of the restraints wasn’t working properly. There were two trains left after that, so lines weren’t a problem.
La Ronde needs to be la GONE.
It just needs a serious La Refurbishment.
Or Six Flags needs to La Sell it.
La Garbage
Kaiden lol
So true
I'm liking this side of Taylor, go ahead and call these parks out, people are paying good money to go to these places and it shouldn't be substandard.
totally agree!
Like, bro you probably went to La Ronde on a weekend. I actually waited no more than 7 minutes for the Goliath on a sunny wednesday. Also if you wanna complain about the kids and the adult that was using the frickin' stall for too long, you should actually blame it on them instead of making the park's reputation go down. Also we're in a bilingual region so you should understand that we speak another language than English.
P.S. Le Monstre is a very 'fragile' coaster since it's made out of wood so it's super normal that they close it often to check if everything is OK. Like the roller coaster is almost a 100 years old so I suggest you just shut your mouth.
PAD FinnTastic it's called Goliath not the goliath
What about the Steel Coaster?
Thank you. His review was soo garbage. I've been to la ronde, Canada wonderland, disney when I was a kid, about 13 yrs old, and I can say that la ronde is not a bad park. It's one of the best amusement parks in canada. I've been to lalonde multiple times because I live close to Montreal, and I cant believe how wrong his review is.
Fraidoon Amiri it’s not THE best

This park doesn't need that haunted house because the park is way more scarier on its own.
They're removing it for next season
Uriel Galindo It's seems as the staff realizes that since the experience of the park as a whole is way more scarier than that haunted house ever will be, so to the GP it's like a beautiful rainbow. That's how low La Ronde has gotten!
+Coaster Studios Thanks for loving my comment I made on La Ronde!
Coaster Nano Yeah, those random old trains in the middle on no where is scary enough. In fact those are probably scarier then the haunted house
James Sanders he actually feels special because he got commented. 🤣 I’m dieing 🤣
"it felt like a Six Flags park" you put it perfectly. The things that always bothered me about going to a SF park- branding everywhere, minimal landscaping, reskinned flat rides, intrusively loud music, trash, tolerance of questionable behavior from guests and overall poor guest experience- always just felt like a half step up from going to a county fair.
I have to disagree with you CoasterStudios. I grew up with this park. It's my park. It's the only Six Flags in Canada and were grateful to even have one. Montreal used to have two theme parks but the other one closed a long time ago before i was even born. It's all we have. Don't like it don't go back but I am defending my park.
Jai grandi avec laronde jy allait a chaque été quand jetais petit et jadore laronde mais malheureusement il a raison. a comparer aux autre parc dattraction quil y a dans le monde laronde fait dur ! pour le prix que cest rendu. sa ne vaut meme plu la peine dy aller..
Poutine is not a meal?!😂🤦🏾♂️try to finish a medium poutine
Maybe glance at the comments before you post. 🤦♂️
Well, to be fair, compared to what the Americans eat, a medium poutine would actually be a snack.
Lucario 2005 yeah true 😂
Even a small.
I’m an American that weighs like 275 and I can’t even finish a medium poutine! 😂😂
I went there back in 2013... It was my first ( and only ) American/Six Flags style park ( I mean that a such amount of thrill coasters would be unbelievable in France, my home country ), so I appreciated it. The drop on Monstre - track 1 is my favorite drop on a coaster ! I agree that this might not be the best SF park, or even a perfect amusement park, but it's still the one that put me into coasters, so that's why I've such a good memory of it. If I've been in plenty of better parks before coming to La Ronde like you've done, I would certainly be as disappointed as you...
I really enjoy this park review, this my favorite. I can't stop laughing when you talk about the children playing in the bathroom 😂😂
My two favorite things about the park are Monstre ( I didn't ride Goliath ) and... The pass booth. I remember that we were getting our passes on machines in a room right after the main entrance, and I really like that ! For instance, I waited way to long in the main queue at Universal Hollywood and in a specific booth at Disneyland Paris ( only one employee out of the 5 - 6 max ) for the same kind of passes.
This review made me laugh so much 😆 sorry about your experience, of course. It's just too funny.
No... it’s a Classic of Montreal in Québec, everyone have been there and even most of tourists appreciate it... It’s the only park we’ve got too... from sixflags (That is near of our houses) Maybe this guy didn’t have a great experience at this moment because everytime I go there, I’m always excited. (I just want to say that I’m excited to whatever park I go to too! :p) His experience doesn’t mean that this park is like how HE experienced at THIS moment. So his judgement is his. It’s not because he said this that everyone has to hate... Anyways still a Classic y’all hate won’t change anything... 😉🤩
Edit: Sorry for the faults, I don’t really use appropriate words to my sentences sometimes, lol.
i only go in the evening and it's always great!
If youre excited when you go to this park then its probably the only amusement park youve ever been to
This is exactly why SixFlags will never fix or improve LaRonde: because all Quebecers go there because "it's a classic". Quebecers would even still go there if they tripled the price.
NONSENSEchannel Mhm. I go to many others parks too, but this one is just the nearest of my home. (45 mins) ...
NONSENSEchannel And by the way, there is new attraction/rides every years. In 2016, it was the « Gravitor » (for family). In 2017, it was the « Titan » (kinda extreme). And this year it is the « Tourbillon » (family). So YES, they improve the park. Next year, it might be a roller coaster, located where the « Cobra » was. 🙃
But poutine *IS* a dinner.
I wonder if La Ronde would be in better shape if the park was owned by Cedar Fair and not Six Flags.
Oh I’m sorry for your bad experience at La Ronde but if you actually have talk to french people in english they will understand because we are all have done english classes at school, no worries. And some of us are bilingual.
Also you got a point about the “teenage immature pack” vibe that no one seems to care. It’s so annoying and frustrating. Absolute no respect on every rules, it’s a big shame.

Luke Minosky yeah I agree. Now I know where NOT to go

@@GuillaumePerrinLeclerc c'était meilleur! Plus propre, moin cher..des fun rides
babz T et bien 😂 j’ai jamais eu l’occasion de faire le cobra et j’en suis triste 😢
JoNathan Limoges in many sens and for nostalgia yes ; but it was on the verge of bankruptcy... it was on the way to close ...and That would have mean no Vampire no Goliath no B and Ms which are pretty much the only 2 great coasters remaining ... I could go for hours
I live close to Montreal and this is the only park I have so I'm grateful for it and I love it so much literally my favorite thing to do in the summer
Verdict: we all feel like dirt
LaRonde is the closest park to my home, Canada’s wonderland is at 7 hours of car ;_;
It's worth it. My home park is Wonderland, and I think the flat rides are actually better than the roller coasters, and we have really good coasters
Canada's wonderland had bad rides during the paramount days
@@jasonsun4468 awesome flat rides at Wonderland. I love Sledgehammer...although it always breaks down. And just a spotless and safe park in general.
Well, Taylor. You have to consider that you’re in another country. It’s not their fault they’re speaking French.
Tinsote I don’t think he’s mad because they were speaking French. I think he’s mad because, he wanted to use the bathroom and the people were behaving unacceptably towards him not respecting other peoples need to use the bathroom
Tinsote what do you mean it's not our fault that we speak french
and he can't tell them to stop
You’ve clearly never been to Southport PleasureLand
I just went to La Ronde and maybe I got lucky, but this park had the best operations of the 8 Six Flags parks I've been to. They ran two trains on so many coasters, including Ednor. The dispatches were solid as well, no rides ever broke down apart from Titan for one day, and the line to get in moved much faster than when you went. I believe the park's operations have improved greatly, the staff and guests were both nice, and the poutine was more than large enough to be dinner. I think you should give the park another chance, maybe if they add a new roller coaster.
Themepark parody?
Larsy 2703 yes
I'm sure of it.
Yes please!
Larsy 2703 yessss
OMG, Yes Six flags Parody as well
La ronde was one of the best park in the past because there is the best wooden coaster and a lot of flatride, it was magic, but with time with six flags, the maintenance has been neglected, Laronde ceased to receive a good ride, it doesnt follow his time, put decorations of 1$store, for exemple, the Demon, they put only a poster behind it...
Gole Zozol true
No Monster isn't the best I prefer El Toro and The Beast over monstere and canadas wonderland has better flats and wonder woman lasso of truth at six flags great adventure
Pretty much everything you said is accurate, sadly. The rides are pretty lame, and the staff are ridiculously rude. If you don't speak French, they'll pretend that they don't speak English, and treat you like complete garbage. My thoughts on the place entirely was; "why bother?"
But, as for the poutine... "it's just fries with stuff on it... it's not a meal." CLEARLY, you have never had proper Canadian poutine before. I don't know what sizes they serve there, because I didn't eat a damn thing, with their overpriced menus. But, real Canadian poutine is be served like Italian spaghetti. Plate; LOADED.
THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG THEY JUST DIDN'T SPEAK FRENCH. THAT WAS A LITTLE KID
I learned about this place and had to do multiple work pages about it in French class. And now I see this
