La Ronde is ****ing vile. The end.

I went with IFC back in 2007 and it was actually pretty good then. But when you've got a park that isn't bringing in the revenue required to maintain it, I can see why it ended up beating the **** out of everyone who's been on it in the last 3 years or so. Even when we rode it, the place was...

There's so many failiures at so many levels, it's almost beyond belief. Sadly it takes stuff like this to happen to make sure it doesn't happen again. I rode it in 2015, and even though the safety procedures were very well enforced by the staff, the fact the ride was allowed to be built in the...

Yeah this is surely gonna be one of the best coasters in Europe. Shame that Tulireki isn't being spited as well, but you can't have it all.

That's a shame, cos it's fab when it's not trimmed to death.

Here's my thoughts after riding it today. So if you don't want spoilers, unplug the internet. The theming is really good. The back story isn't overly complicated, the centrepiece of the ride looks great and the pre-show is short, sweet and goes straight to the point. The station also looks...

Good grief, that thing is ridiculous!

This is looking better and better all the time. And such good PR from the park to help promote it with the construction tours for pass holders.

Try going to La Ronde. That's really ****. Completely agree on the cred front. For those of us well-travelled folks who've been there, Canada's Wonderland does have a lack of good creds. Apart from Behemoth, Leviathan and Vortex the rest of the coasters are mediocre to awful. (I'm excluding...

^Sounds like a good plan - and it's a weekend I can do! Not sure if anything has been mooted for an Xmas Live yet, but Bakken have posted their opening times for the year, and I'm really tempted to do a Tivoli/Bakken weekend in Late November/December. From Bakken's website:

Ronde de Rondins took me 3 goes. 2005 - didn't have time to ride it when it was at Parc Asterix. 2014 - broke down while I was waiting in line for it at Fraispertuis City. 2015 - went back to Fraispertuis City. +1. Weirdly I've never been spited by the usual spiteful creds such as Odyssey or...

Alton/Blackpool in late April/early May sounds good. Liseberg in August isn't great for me unless it's the first weekend as I'm booked up on all the other weekends, but will get there another time if the Live happens when I'm not free. If Bakken is gonna be open around the Danish autumn...

Added Shambhala a few weeks ago, so my count is now up to 82.

As long as it's not slow as **** like the crap top hat on Blue Fire. Anything is better than that.

Mammut at Tripsdrill does nothing. Literally nothing.

Christ, I look ****ing gross. Great report Matt - I'll forgive the unflattering photo as it was a top weekend with a great bunch of people!

Technically I didn't do Coney Island for a week after La Ronde because I was sick of doing parks. And some days were dedicated to driving cross country. But they were all on the same trip. Forgot to add Baja Amusements, Jolly Roger Amusement Park, Jolly Roger At The Pier, Trimper's RIdes and...

I did the trip with Ben, but tagged a few parks on before and after: Before: SFGAdv SFGAm Little A-Merrick-A Adventureland Worlds of Fun Elitch Gardens Lagoon Lakeside Park Cliff's Amusement Park Wonderland Amusement Park Frontier City After: SFGAdv again Jenkinson's Boardwalk Casino Pier...

Haha, yep that's it! It's been sold out all over half term just gone, and currently weekend sessions have to be booked at least a couple of weeks in advance.

The name reminds me of when you make slightly more effort than leaving your new ride called Wooden Roller Coaster 1 in RCT.
