Super Manège was a steel roller coaster at La Ronde in Montreal, Canada. It was built in 1981 by Vekoma as the park's first inverting roller-coaster.[1] The ride ended operation on August 25, 2019 and will be replaced with an Intamin Zac Spin coaster, called "Vipère". The life of the coaster ended abruptly just a few hours before its scheduled closing, when a rider's restraint failed in the first climbing stage. The ride closed for the remainder of the day for inspection, never to reopen, and was soon demolished.
Ride[]
The ride started by climbing to a height of 75 feet. After a small drop and a curve, riders were taken down a steep 68-foot-tall drop and a smaller hill. They then experienced two corkscrew inversions, the main highlight of the ride. The coaster then went into several high-speed turns and helices, followed by a long brake run and a curve into the station. Most riders experienced pain due to the shape of the restraints and the corkscrew inversions.[citation needed]
Location[]
The closed ride was located between Le Monstre a wooden roller-coaster, Le Boomerang, and close to the Manitou. The Splash ride's entrance was across the pathway from the entrance of Le Super Manege.
Etymology[]
Literally translated, "Le Super Manège" means "The Super Ride". This reflected its significance in introducing inverting rides to the park. The ride originally opened as "Corkscrew".
