Trip Report
Well....I'm currently in my hotel in Montr?al, and I forgot my laptop charger...and my battery drains quickly, so I shall keep this short and to the point! We first went on Le Cobra which hurt a lot, and I'm happy that there are not many Intamin Stand-up coasters...though Anthony wanted to keep riding so I ended up riding it two more times during the day!

Super Man?ge and Le Boomerang...Vekoma...nuff said!

You know what...I'm tired, most people aren't even reading this so I'll skip to more interesting things.

Le Monstre! We sat in the last car, and got bashed around in the rain...not fun! The second time we rode, I got knocked over and I had my hands up, so my arms went out, and my hand hit a piece of the structure on the 3rd drop...OWE! But you know what, I really love Le Monste, I just wish that they were running four trains instead of two!

Now for the almighty, GOLIATH! I'll admit, the first time, we all sat in the last row, and it was good. Not amazing, but good! Then it broke down, and didn't reopen until we were leaving the park, so we ran back and sat in the 2nd row! Now this suprised us! We did not expect the amount of ejector on this! It was incredible! definitely the best B&M I've ever been on! Now I shall give you all photos while I eat my poutine!

Oh yes Dan! La Ronde is one of my most favorite parks in the world! This is the 3rd most unique park I've been to (Behind LaQua and TDS). And one thing...why does everyone insist on writing Le Ronde as Le Rhonde? lol.
