The Best Rides to Do at La Ronde

Before going on a ride, check the minimum height requirement. If a person is too short, they will not be allowed on the ride.

The flagship attraction at La Ronde is Le Monstre. It is one of the highest wooden roller coasters in the world, offering a quite memorable adrenaline rush.

The Goliath ride, another roller coaster, is located at the far end of the park. It is built of steel, and the train propels its passengers at 170 km/h with a force of 4G!

The Titan is a ride that resembles a giant pendulum! It spins, rises, and falls up to 45 meters in the air at a speed of 112 km/h.

The Ednör is another style of roller coaster where the passenger is suspended from above with their feet dangling.

The classic Boomerang starts by going backward, and when it is far enough, the train is released to be projected forward… then backward again!

Next, the most popular and beloved are the Vampire, the Toboggan Nordique, and the Dragon.
