In May 2017, on what would have been its 50th anniversary, Six Flags announced the ride had reached the end of its useful life and would not reopen.

[2] During its final season in 2016, it was one of the original rides of La Ronde still operating.

Only 5 original rides remain, with 3 still in operation: Joyeux Moussaillons, La Marche du Mille Pattes (previously Petites Montagnes Russes), Le Galopant[note 1], La Spirale[note 2].

At the end, riders followed the flume, which brought them back to almost ground level during a series of gentle falls and turns, and after another conveyor belt, riders ended their ride with the last chute.

The ride was themed around the chasse-galerie, a popular French-Canadian tale.
