1967 is way off. Montrealers who know their city should be able to narrow it down to a half decade or so.

I'd say mid 80's actually .. Mostly cus La rounde (the amusement park in the for ground) only has a few Roller costers and today boast way way more ..
at first I was gonna say the 70s but I don't think the Heavy metal costers were around then....

Well one thing we know is that it was taken in September. In August, the trees are still green, and by October they are mostly gone.
Here's a hint. Does anyone notice 1000 de la Gauchietere? It is visible on the left side of the photo in the distance. The tallest structure in Montreal.
It was built in 1992. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Well, we've established that it's at oldest, 1992.
Thanks, but it's a postcard. I didn't take the picture! ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Great photo especially since if it was taken tday i would be able to see my house:-)
I was going to say 1984 but I re-read and if it's after 1992, I'll take 1995... but it seems earlier, maybe it's just the grainyness of the picture

See the traffic on the Jacques-Cartier bridge moving into the city? Much heavier than coming back.
It must have been snapped in the morning.

I'd say that the picture is most likely fall 1993.
I don't see the Cobra on there and it was installed in 1995 so figure preparations/foundations were done in 1994.
It's a wild guess since I haven't gone in AGES.

You're probably close! 1000 de la Gauchetiere was completed in 1992, and the exhibits at the aquarium (the little round building with the swirly top) were moved to the Biodome in 1992. The Aquarium was demolished shortly thereafter.
Also, there are a heck of a lot of newer roller coasters missing that were erected in the mid-90s.
So the picture is either from the autumn of 1992 or 1993.

It's required eating up here. We have it at least a couple times a month.
