We took advantage of the $50 season pass, as a day pass was $30, so well worth the money. We've been twice and plan to go more times. Each time has been really fun! You'll probably not be able to go on every ride in just one day, so get there early to minimize a long lineup time. The first time we arrived 9:45am (park opens at 10am) and waited maybe 45 minutes. The second time we arrived after midday and didn't get in until 2pm! The best thrill ride is definitely Le Monstre so far. I waited 45 minutes for that ride and my partner waited a little over an hour. There are two tracks, first one is slightly higher and the second track is very similar but apparently knocks you around more, so I went on track 1. The Orbite is by far the most disappointing ride- one quick fall to the ground and that's about it! At least you can bypass the lineup if you're a solo rider like I did and waited less than 5 minutes. I had to ask to be let on however, as the staff just ignored me. Ednor and Boomerang are very fun! Tip: if you have long hair, make sure any hair-ties are positioned low so that you can put your head flush against the headrest, as otherwise your head will be thrown about rather violently, as I found out. The log ride I waited for about an hour and was NOT worth the wait! There's just one small drop, though you do get very wet, so that's fun. I think due to Covid, the lineup has gotten ridiculous, seeing as every other row on the log has to be left vacant, so only about 6-9 people can board at a time. The ride in the dark was very tame, not worth the almost hour wait time, more of an older kid's ride. I'm very disappointed that both times we've been, the monorail has not been running, why? It would be an awesome way to oversee the park and get your bearings a little! The kids' section of rides is ample enough, best ride is the tree swing. Definitely try and eat a lot before entering the park, as you're not meant to bring in any outside food or drink and if you get searched, it will be confiscated. And yes, food inside the park is super expensive. The first time here we spent over $100 in food for two adults and a toddler, ridiculous! The food court near the Loto Quebec fireworks section has the worst quality food and prices so far, poutine terrible and healthier salad bowl option in the big glass building was very unappealing with gloopy over cooked rice and they were out of some ingredients for my salad, not to mention the 30+ minutes wait! The second time going was on Sept 4th and there was meant to be a Labour Day fireworks display, yet when we asked an employee at the end of the day, they said they were cancelled. It would have been nice if they had notified people of this, as their Six Flags phone app said it was scheduled! Speaking of the app, it's good for directing you to rides etc but it constantly says 'closed for the season' on every single ride in the park, please fix this!!! Some other negatives: park is no frills scenery with run-down looking paintwork etc. Obviously the Montréal weather plays a part in this. More plants to make it prettier would be nice! Another negative is people do not respect the 2m distancing during these Covid times, which is frustrating, although since the vaccine passport has been implemented, I'm more at ease about the lack of distance, although of course you 'could' still get Covid after being vaccinated, but the risk is greatly reduced. It would be nice if there were staff to make sure people follow the Covid rules, as so far, nothing has ever been said to rule breakers, which is 90% of people! Better/ more signage for solo riders would be nice too, so that you don't queue up for ages only to later realize you could have skipped the long wait. I didn't see a solo riders sign for the adult swings for example and queued alone for almost an hour, yet there were many swings left empty... why not let solo riders fill them up and reduce wait times? Souvenirs are reasonably priced though, grabbed a nice long t-shirt for my daughter for only $5, it was on sale. Overall a great park!

It's an above average to good amusement park, and a poor to terrible theme park. I really wish six flags would put some investment into this place, the potential is huge for La Ronde, but sadly it's littered with crumbling pathways, abandoned attractions, random shipping containers and just general disrepair. I also absolutely hate how there is zero shade in basically every single queue. The lack of shade paired with the total absence of drinking fountains except at the front gate or hidden away in obscure corners of the park makes it feel like you're being extorted to buy 5$ bottles of Dasani. Do better, six flags. The coaster collection leaves a bit to be desired after a pretty big drop off in quality after the big 3 hitters in Goliath, Le Vampire and Le Monstre (which I think is a terrible woodie but it seems to be a crowd favourite), but the flat ride collection was a pleasant surprise. Titan is smooth and fast, but nowhere near as intense as some of the reviews will have you believe. Demon (top spin), Orbit (launched drop tower), Chaos (Larson loop), Manitou (huss frisbee), and Vertigo (Zamperla hawk) are all worth getting rides on. The log flume also has a pretty decent drop and will totally soak you on a hot day. There's also a couple spinning rides if you're into those, and everything was operating except for Gravitor. Overall it's a very fun place to spend a day, if the UV index isn't too high and the crowds are manageable. I was there on a Saturday, 7/15/23, at park opening and we were able to get 7 rides in a row on Goliath with just a station wait, a handful on Le Vampire with just a station wait, and managed to get on Titan after only about 15 minutes, which made us feel like we got our money's worth in the first 2 hours. We spent the rest of the day hitting up all the flats and then returned for more Goliath floater before going home. That being said, I can see how this park would be downright miserable if the park is rammed with guests, so I'll be careful to pick and choose my timing the next time I visit, we were lucky this time. My last bit of advice is to show up around 10am, that way you can get through the security and already be inside the park when the rides open at 1030. The lines just to get into the park can be extensive so just keep that in mind. Merci pour la belle journée, La Ronde!

Went on a Thursday. Me + 5 people The lines were anywhere between a 30-minute to 2 hour wait. The line for the Titan took way too long. I had to leave after waiting for 35 minutes because the line would not move (see image below). Ednör was fun, but it hurt my shoulders and my head, I recommend pushing your back up against the seat. The line for this ride was short. As soon as we got off the ride, we got back in line and didn't have to wait at all. The Goliath was a lot of fun! The line may seem long, but it moves very fast. I was also impressed at the length of the roller coaster. It felt like it took a while to get through the whole thing (which I personally love). It's definitely worth the wait!! The Demon is exactly what it sounds like. It was extremely painful. The bars press up very tightly against your shoulders and chest (not made for female anatomy). The ride lasted too long in this case and got boring near the end. The Vampire was very fun. The line moved super quick! Wish it could've lasted longer. 30-minute wait The boomerang was a lot of fun! Canada's wonderful has the same ride, but it's called The Bat. This ride goes very fast and has a few loops. The wait was around 35-45 minutes. Tour de ville (swings) was our last ride of the day (15 minutes before close). Average carnival ride. Nostalgic and fun. Lasted a very long time. No wait time. Went to Athenas Greek Kitchen for Lunch. Waited in line for over 40 minutes! We ordered 2 Gyro (one beef and one chicken) combos (Gyro + fries) with two $6 drinks on the side. $45 for 2 people. The food was very good. They gave A LOT of fries. In a total of six hours, we went on rides 7 times. The Vampire ×1 The boomerang ×1 The Demon ×1 Ednör ×2 The Goliath × 1 Tour de Vile × 1 Overall, the lines were long. We didn't go on many rides, but we had fun. If it's your first time at an amusement park, this could be a good start. However, if you enjoy bigger rides and you've been to somewhere like Canada's wonderland, nothing in La ronde will compare to that.

My review’s main purpose is to help you prepare better for your visit, and hopefully keepyou from making some bad decisions like I did. I went during the Halloween Fest with my husband. There were a lot of people, the crowd was gigantic! My advice for when you suspect that will be the case is to arrive there before the park opens and wait in line, and try to go to the “best” rides as soon as you pass the entrance. We got the shuttle outside Papineau Station at 1:15 pm because we missed the 1 pm shuttle by a minute and we noticed it was not as busy as the one we got 15 min later. There was a lot of traffic going to the park from Jean Cartier Bridge. We arrived at 2 pm in the line to go inside, it took us 1h40min to reach the gate. Our tickets had been bought the night before. Inside the park, we saw two Booths selling tickets for the Fright Fest, it was possible to pay $35 for the 5 Haunted Tours, or you could buy each individually for roughly $10. It was early and the lines in the booths were small, so we didn’t bother buying them, which Was a big mistake. As it got darker the lines started getting bigger and bigger, in the end we would have to get in line to BUY the ticket and then go through a SECOND line to go in the tour, so we just gave up. We went to 4 rides total, we could probably had gone to 5 but we decided to leave one hour before the park closes to avoid traffic. If we had arrived before the parks open probably would have squeezed a couple more rides. The park and the rides are fun, everybody we talked to spoke both English and French. I wouldn’t go back in busy days just because I personally hate waiting in line. So probably on a weekday maybe. They do offer a Fast Pass, which I would recommend if you can afford. I did wish they handed a map at the entrance.

We visited on a Thursday near the end of August hoping it wouldn't be busy. Boy we was I wrong. Any good thrill ride was an hour wait except the water coaster which moved along in 30 ish minutes. Food is expensive and they post no outside food or drink but they weren't checking to aggressively. The park layout makes it difficult to efficiently hit all the rides without doubling back multiple times. I kind of wish theme parks had paper maps you could carry around. Some of the ride entrances were not obvious and in so e case were on the opposite side of the ride. We waited 1 hour for The Beast as they were running only 1 car and 1 track. Park seemed understaffed which affected ride wait times. The Tobbagon Nordique wait time was an hour and 20min, most definitely could have loaded and unloaded that ride more efficiently. I considered getting a fast pass however tha top pass was tripple the park entry fee. The next tier was double and the last tier was $20 bucks more than the entry. There isn't an explanation on how any of these work anywhere in the park or website that I could easily find. As a tourist I opted for single day but a seasons pass is definitely worth it if you go 3 times it'll pay for itself. The rides we did ride were great The Monster wooden coaster was pretty good, a bit rough but worth the wait I guess. The tobaggon was ok, the Splash was good, soaked us which kept us cool for an hour. We'll definitely visit again annually as my daughters get old enough to ride the big coasters. Overall it's what I expected. Unfortunately staffing issues and short hours effected our experience. Closing at 6pm on a Thursday seems way to early. 8pm ok but 6pm is lame.

La Ronde: Montreal's Six Flags park is a destination for families of all ages and the young at heart. Conveniently accessible by public transport or vehicle, this amusement park offers a diverse range of rides that cater to different preferences, from peaceful to thrillingly extreme. It's a must-visit entertainment venue for locals and tourists alike. While parking can be a bit pricey for non-season pass holders, the plethora of restaurants available on-site, accommodating various dietary needs, makes dining a pleasant experience. Considering it's a Six Flags park, the prices are quite reasonable. One standout feature of La Ronde is its commitment to accessibility. All park entrances and main areas are wide open and wheelchair accessible, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the fun without limitations. The park's cleanliness is commendable, as the grounds are immaculately maintained at all times. Moreover, the staff's friendly and positive demeanor creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors, enhancing the overall experience. Though some areas may need a touch of fresh paint and cosmetic improvements, it doesn't detract from the enjoyment. However, it would be great to see the administration invest more in these aspects. In conclusion, La Ronde offers an excellent, fun, and safe environment for seasonal family fun. I've had a season pass for many years and have only had positive interactions. With its thrilling rides, accommodating dining options, and dedication to accessibility, it's definitely a 5-star destination for me.
