La Ronde
Montreal | $$$ | Website
La Ronde was opened in 1967 as a part of Expo 67. Today, the park features 39 rides, including 9 roller coasters; among them Le Monstre, a 40 metre (131 ft) high wooden double-tracked roller coaster which currently holds the record for highest double-tracked roller coaster in the world.
La Ronde was owned and administered by the City of Montreal until it was sold to Six Flags, an American theme park chain, in a deal completed on May 4, 2001. They acquired all of the assets of the park for $20 million USD and have a long-term contract to lease the land from the city. Before the announcement of the Six Flags purchase, the city had considered offers from other bidders including Paramount Parks, Cedar Fair, and Parc Astérix. Since then Six Flags has invested millions of dollars in new rides and improvements, such as Vampire, Splash, and Goliath as well as a new main entrance.
Since the takeover by Six Flags, prices of admission as well as on site food and beverages have skyrocketed, some prices of beverages are precisely three dollars per bottle. One of the most popular restaurants at La Ronde is the Mcdonald's in the center of the park due to its relatively low prices compared to other franchises in the park.
