"Since Expo67, the Pitoune has thrilled young people and grown-ups alike. The cars can accommodate four adults or six children for a total of 1,200 persons per hour. This is the most popular family ride at La Ronde. The cars climb a first incline and run along the track between the foundation slabs, dropping and curving until they arrive at the top of a huge incline, poised for the ride's final big splash."
