Super Manège
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. The ride was located between Le Monstre, Le Boomerang, and close to the Manitou. The Splash ride's entrance was across the pathway from the entrance of Le Super Manege. History The ride originally opened as "Corkscrew". It was renamed "Le Super Manège," meaning "The Super Ride". This reflected its significance in introducing inverting rides to the park. The ride ended operation on August 25, 2019, and was slated to be replaced with an Intamin Zac Spin coaster called "Vipère". This plan was scrapped in 2022 when the park announced the cancellation of Vipère's installation. The life of Super Manège 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. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
