Le MONSTRE - La Ronde, Montreal - POV

Front Row POV of Monstre at La Ronde, the largest wooden roller coaster in Canada and the tallest two-track coaster in the world. This roller coaster can be found at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The ride can be seen from many of the buildings in Montreal, as it is situated on an island in the middle of the city, once where the World Expo took place. #rollercoaster #laronde #montreal #quebec #amusementpark #amusementinsider

Le Monstre Wooden Coaster POV, Front Row On Ride, 4K Ultra HD

[@elephqnt]

"It's smooth so far" Famous last words

[@Karomix3]

I used to fear this ride growing up, then the one time my dad made me do Le Goliath, suddently Le Monstre looked nice next to that, so I went to do it, and it was fun. Did both tracks. I love doing it whenever I go there. One of the best rides, it's iconic.

[@tracts]

Amazing POV, I can see why everyone hates this ride now though 😂

[@zacharyrivas8074]

Are you kidding me? It's seriously my favorite ride of all time!

[@JMD422]

no c'mon its probably the best at Laronde. they've improved it a lot in the past years with new trains and all. Honestly, one of the best of this park.

[@celiacbabe58]

This is an EXCELLENT Coaster. So many dips & turns. WEEEEEEE

[@PikaJaune]

I love Le Monstre and i don't get the hate, a lot of part were retracked in recent years and it's smoother than it was before.

[@mikekelly7862]

Grew up getting thrashed around on this thing. It used to be a lot worse; considering how massive the structure is combined with its age, I think they've done a pretty good job on it in the past few years. I'll always love this thing. Still wouldn't be opposed to an RMC treatment... not that that seems terribly likely under six flags ownership.

[@samplautz5586]

It’s not the roughness from what I understand, it’s the boringness of the layout and the fact that some kiddie coasters have more elements than this ride

[@Segatari]

@@mikekelly7862Do you mean it was rougher before they replaced the Morgan trains (2013-2014 season)?

[@marcleslac2413]

@@mikekelly7862 it's due to parks canada, (and that comes from a friend who knows one of six flags co owners), behing idiots and incompetent!

[@mikekelly7862]

@@marcleslac2413 ah ok interesting. So it's less a license for RMC to operate in Canada thing and more just because (I imagine) the whole island is technically under parks canada administration... even though the park itself is leased by the city. What a convoluted situation. Very on brand for Montreal lol!

[@kathyevans3251]

That was great!!!

[@k1000tem]

what I learned from the video: wooow

[@alexwhereareyouu]

is this track 1 or 2?

[@weedle4736]

How did this thing won over X2 and El Toro as best ride in a Six Flags Facebook Tournament once.

[@gustru2078]

Easy. We love our old jank rides. This is the only big theme park in the entire province of Québec and Le monstre is our only wooden coaster + a piece of our History with a potential for 8 million votes. It ain't better than El Toro, it ain't better than X2, it's not the tallest wooden coaster (it's the tallest dual-track wooden coaster though), not the fastest, not the best airtime and it was built using very limited space, which is why the tracks pass through the structure so many times. It used to run 2 trains simultaneously on each track and just that alone with the old trains made for a very different experience than today. Trains were lighter and didn't cause an earthquake from putting so much stress on the structure + the restraint was only a single metal bar. It didn't squeeze your nuts for being so tight. And finally, La Ronde is not a Six Fucks park. It was bought out by them then left to rot. The only decent ridesWe don't care about the rides at six flags parks in the states and we overall don't give a shit about six flags themselves. Maybe El Toro is better but do we care? Nope. Someone made that contest known to more than just coaster enthusiasts and this is the result.

[@JohnFleming-sw7hn]

I loved the chainlift sounds! Remndns me of Texas Cyclone Astroworld alot!

[@Justarandompersonslayed]

Can u do boomerang in the 4th cart?

[@rustyshackleford6746]

Left turn followed by left turn

[@more_bumps_ahead]

Would a few clips from this POV be permissible to use in a new documentary about the ride? Thanks!

[@pittsburghcoasterfan]

is that rmc topper track on the first drop? I can’t tell.

[@plazasta]

(I was told it was supposed to be a secret, but yes, it was in 2021 iirc when RMC retracked that first drop with their topper track!)

[@IIISPKIII]

​@@plazastaHuh. Why didn't they retrack the whole ride?

[@plazasta]

@@IIISPKIII cash most likely

[@clubcoaster]

Unpopular opinion, I miss the the Morgan trains. Like was the ride always this bad, or was it better with the Morgan trains(as in smoothness)?

[@vitorricci]

It's a janky coaster but I like it honestly, especially the track 1

[@plazasta]

as much as I love to dunk on this coaster, track 1's double down has some of the best ejector I've ever felt

[@vitorricci]

@@plazasta The first time I rode this coaster I had not yet memorized all the layout, and this double down took me by surprise lol

[@divineeyeadventures]

I would like to use a 10 second segment of this video in a video that I'm working on. Would you be okay with me doing that if I give your video credit and link it in my comments section?

[@AmusementInsider]

Sure that is fine , thanks!

[@divineeyeadventures]

@@AmusementInsider I will post the video etc here when it premieres. Thank you! If there's a particular way you'd like me to credit you, please let me know. 🙌

[@nyamuch8640]

Wow....

[@Laueee95]

J'ai brisé le 3/4 d'une de mes dents dans cette ride. Me souviens plus si c'est la 1 ou 2 par contre. C'est super smooth come ride allez-y 😂

[@rickychardzz]

Last time i tried it I’ve got this back pain afterwards! 😂 Glad to see I’m not the only one with those comments

[@ID_Playz]

Yeah u need to hold on tifht or else the whiplash

[@JayDub42]

That ride used to be good until they changed the trains 10 years ago. The layout isn't the best but at least it was smooth and enjoyable, now it does nothing other than beating you up. Hopefully they RMC it one day.

[@Sokobansolver]

Ew, that first drop looks shallower than most chain lifts. Also looks like a boxing simulator.

[@DisasterVR]

I did this and it’s not as bad as it looks, it’s actually pretty fun.

[@plazasta]

I love how yoj can tell from your voice how rough this coaster is, this thing is absolutely ridiculous

[@marcleslac2413]

I hope Eventyally rmc can do coasters in canada and give this the treatment.

[@andrewschannel4259]

This thing needs to get RMC'd.

[@IIISPKIII]

ABSOLUTELY

[@patatebanine4278]

Back then, the ride was smoother and people enjoyed it at the end of the the ride. Now, the ride is irritating and aggressive. Le Monstre have no choice to be upgraded to a RMC or La Ronde should bring back the older version of the train that was better

[@ImmelmannImages]

Is this ride really that bad

[@CoasterHorizons]

looks pretty brutal

[@ImmelmannImages]

@@CoasterHorizons ikr

[@plazasta]

I mean I have fun on it, but it is one of the roughest coasters I've ever been on and the layout is mostly (outside of one airtime moment on each side) pretty boring and uninspired. The train just meanders through the second half

[@billchief397]

Looks about as fun as mean streak....time to RMC this thing..ha.

[@plazasta]

@@billchief397 pretty sure Mean Streak was better than this

Pain: The Ride

[@VanillaCakeOS]

The definition of jankiness

[@brianfoss571]

Wow, the prelift passes literal *dumpsters*

[@spittinvenom9843]

To be fair, the entire park is a dump

[@Sean-mclaughlin]

Anybody who gets on an old wooden coaster and expects the ride to be smooth lives in a fantasy world. These were never smooth unless they’ve been modified. Just enjoy the ride on a vintage old school coaster.

[@lalapopo2]

I WETN IN IT ITS AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE CART

[@crybirb]

Ride is cool but jesus I always gets bruises from it. So I started avoiding it.

[@PhasmophobiaHACKS]

I know right, I rode it yesterday and I was bleeding from the nose. The ride is way too rough.

[@crybirb]

@@PhasmophobiaHACKS I get bruises on my sides every time that take weeks to clean off hahaha

[@Zahra-dv1gm]

Ça fait très peur

[@MrNemis2003]

it sounds rather painful...lol

[@adelbenaida9160]

My bro got hit on shoulder lol

[@crybirb]

It is, I went twice and got bruises twice. Went this weekend and have a HUGE bruise in my entire lateral.

[@ant_coaster_cal5548]

RMC IT

[@ScootamonCoasters]

profiling = zero

[@Ihatethoosies]

This ride is hilarious I laughed the whole time.

[@spittinvenom9843]

This ride is as close as anything comes to forgettable, RMC could turn this into its shining star given the unique layout and track length but LaRonde is the worst park ever so there’s that problem

[@mattyorshin]

Terrible coaster.
