Earlier reviews prepared us for an underwhelming experience, and La Ronde delivered just that. Previous experiences at other Six Flags had given the impression there's little to no effort made in story, but for teens & tweens there'd be plenty of thrills to offset that. Not so much. Effectively five rides that deviated from the spinners for older kids were operational most of the day. Those filled up very quickly. As others have said, the flash pass is very expensive. Since there are so few rides, if you really want to ride them all two or three times more, it could be worth it. For us, we prepped the kids in advance it'd probably be a relatively short day. We pulled the rip cord accordingly once the new ride excitement was gone. There are a number of former attractions that have clearly been removed and not replaced. Fairly clear that's an economic decision that I'm sure the short summer Montreal season doesn't help. Still, considering the park controls the north end of the island, pretty much solely, you'd like to think they could find a use for the extra real estate beyond crab grass and fenced off ruins. Among the sad commentaries days gone by is a former pop-a-shot style basketball setup, fallen into disrepair you walk by any time you're headed to the west park. You'd think you could at least demo it. But no, like the Expo-era now closed food court it just slides into disuse. To the good, if someone's looking for a dystopian theme park for a zombie movie set, not a lot of modifications would be required. Did it, won't be back.

Very understaffed. Line to get in was over an hour and so many kids were cutting the line but there were no security or park staff to monitor this. Waited in line for 90mins for food because every food kiosk was understaffed, usually with only one person behind the counter to serve 50+ people in each line. Also, ride operators looked unhappy and often didn’t try to fill ride seats, so the wait time was even longer than it should have been. Poor management overall. I have been going to LaRonde since I was a kid and I must say that it is getting worse every year. Six flags has ruined what used to be a great amusement park.

Fun rides. The lineups for the rides were not too busy at all. Guess it depends on the day ; we went on a Thursday. Start at the back and make your way back to the front gates. To avoid the expensive parking and wait time for entering and exiting the parking lot, we took a bus 769 to/from the Papineau metro station which dropped us at the front doors of La Ronde. Metro and bus were only $7.00/adult return and kids are free. Food prices almost comparable to restaurant prices. Plenty of food vendors to select from. Overall, we had a good day.
