Super Manège (The Super Ride) is 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 was constructed by Martin & Vleminckx.[2]
Ride
The ride starts by climbing to a height of 75 feet. After a small drop and a curve, riders are taken down a steep 68 foot drop and a smaller hill. They then experience two corkscrew inversions, the highlight of the ride. The coaster ends in several high-speed turns and helices, followed by a long brake run and a curve into the station. Most riders experience pain due to the shape of the restraints and the corkscrew inversions.
Location
The ride is located between Manitou and the Le Monstre wooden roller-coaster, and is close to Le Boomerang. The popular Splash ride's entrance is across the pathway from the entrance of Le Super Manege.
Etymology
Literally translated, "Le Super Manège" means "The Super Ride". This reflects its significance in introducing inverting rides to the park. The ride originally opened as "Corkscrew".
