Bingo Browaty, staff

Singer, songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen has touched the hearts of millions with his insightful, spiritual music, penning classics like the constantly covered “Hallelujah” and the love ballad “Suzanne.”

And now, his legacy will touch the adrenal glands of thrill-seekers visiting Montreal’s La Ronde theme park.

The Six Flags outpost has announced the construction of their new Leonard Cohen Land, honouring the Montreal legend with a collection of rides, restaurants and attractions based on his enduring work.

The featured rides will include the “Screamin’ Hallelujah” roller coaster, which launches poetry fans at 78 km/h into a series of loops, corkscrews and helixes. It’s said to be one of the most intense roller coasters ever built, sure to draw a “hallelujah” from your lips.

The arctic adventure-themed “Avalanche” bobsled ride will take its passengers on a ride as bumpy and thrilling as the spiritual tumult described in the classic song of the same name from Songs OfLoveAndHate

For those with less of an appetite for G-force, there will be a gentle animatronic trip around the globe based off “First We Take Manhattan.” leonard Cohen land is set to open in spring 2025 according to Six Flags Canada.

A cafe on the premises promises unlimited cigarettes with the purchase of a coffee and typewriters on every table for visitors to write down their musings as they watch the world go by.

Be sure to stop by the gift shop for your very own “Famous Blue Raincoat,” “You Want It Darker” sunglasses and a commemorative Six Flags-branded Torah.
