La Ronde is opening tomorrow.
Yeah it is. La Ronde doesn’t thrill me anymore. It doesn’t thrill any of my friends either. But I like to go on a ride with someone who will freak out. A freaking out face is always funny.
This year, there are six new rides, although four of them are only revisions of existing rides. Not exciting for teenagers, but kids should definitely love them.
Au pays de Ribambelle is La Ronde’s new concept. New characters, new rest areas and a restaurant for kids. All redesigned.
And of course, new prices. When I worked there, there were rumors about them setting prices according to people’s heights rather than age, since that is what determines whether a person can go a on ride. Well, apparently, it’s not coming this year. Over the years, I had so many angry clients and they are for good reasons. Six Flags has done a lot of good things since it bought the park from the city and now, the next good thing would be to set prices according to height. If a 40 year old woman measures 125cm in height, she shouldn’t have to pay $30.42 like everyone else. I think that’s only reasonable. She might be scared to death about going on the Cobra, but it’s nice to have the option.
Like every year, there’s a special on the season passport until June 5.
I should add that, La Ronde is one the cheapest park in North America if it isn’t already.
