	La Ronde
		(11/10/04) While we have no details, Six Flags did mention in their 3rd Quarter Report that they would be adding a “children’s area” to La Ronde in 2005.
		Six Flags also stated that they will spend big bucks on the park in 2006, which would indicate that the Flagging may happen then and not 2005.
		(8/11/04) While nothing is known about 2005 at La Ronde, Six Flags did mention spending money on La Ronde in 2006 as part of their purchase agreement, so I’ve got to wonder if this is when they rebrand the park with a Six Flags name.

		It was an attempt by Six Flags to capitalize on the early 1980's tourist boom in Baltimore's Inner Harbor; it came too late to meet the boom, and it completely misjudged the nature of Baltimore tourism.

		Creepy, gothic names aside, if La Ronde amusement park’s newest high-thrill roller coaster ride, the Vampire, was a car, it would compare favorably to a surprisingly smooth-handling Lincoln Town Car.
		La Ronde supplies maps for exiting through Parc Jean-Drapeau on the Concorde Bridge near the Casino, and continuing to Autoroute Bonaventure, and then to 15 South on the Champlain Bridge.
		Compared to La Ronde’s wooden roller coaster — which travels at speeds up to 60 mph — the Monster reminded me of my first ’67 Chevy Impala in need of some shock absorbers.
