- Ever since their Quimera roller coaster derailed in 2019, costing the lives of two people. The park has remained closed ever since, with most of the rides being sold and moved off site. The only ride that remains is Montaña Rusa, an old classic wooden roller coaster with a mobius layout. Join us as we walk around the property to see what we can find!
We made a movie! This is How We Roll is a feature length documentary about the history of Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC). For more information and to get yourself a copy, please visit vimeo.com/ondemand/thisishowwerollmovie

I’m from Mexico, currently living in Texas but I love to see you guys exploring the places I used to go when I was younger!!!
As someone who has lived his entire live in Mexico City, La Feria de Chapultepec, was an iconic place that was semi popular, since Six Flags bought Reino Aventura and converted it, a lot of people stoped going to Chapultepec, the only reason in didn't closed it was because of two things, it was supported by the government and in 2018 it made a deal whit Sesame Street to remodel the park to it's image but keep it mostly intact.
It felt like even if it wasn't going to be as popular as Six Flags it could have the chance to be a more affordable and family centered place so it would have it audience, but the
maintenance of the place was poorly done to not be vulgar, to save as much money as possible, even inviting a really big youtuber called "Berth-OH" to visit the park and show how much "care" they were putting in the park (If you want to see how the park looked like I would recommend watch his video), they also hosted events to other youtubers like Maire Wink wich married a cake in the park (Yes like it sounds), not even 2 months after the accident happened.
The accident was caused for poor maintenance and putting too many cars in the attraction when a similar accident had already happened in Canada with the same coaster model, the wheels of the cars broke and it started flying while still attached to the cars in front until it hitted a pole, it was really tragic and disturbing to think about because one week before this happened I went to a job interview and the manager never showed in the 3 times I went, so it was really abandoned by the one managing the park, it's even sadder because it went from this hope that the park could find its audience to it closing forever.
Oh wow so you must know all the rides that were there and the names I'm looking for the caterpillar Ride that was there don't know what it was called though
Great video. Fun fact, in this park an episode was filmed of the Belgian 'game' show called 'De Mol'. Contestant had to do several challenges in the rides. Including on Chimera. Was kind of cool
Based on this footage alone you could've said the park had been abandoned since the 90's and I would've believed you. Insane to think this place was open just 2 1/2 years ago! Goes to show just how quickly the Earth can reclaim untouched land.
AY DIOS MIO
Taylor getting the permission to be let in to the overgrown and rusty Six Flags New Orleans would be the cherry on top the shake of him exploring abandoned amusement parks. If only security was not so strict on that property…
Jake Williams from Bright Sun Films has an entire documentary movie on the history of Six Flags New Orleans and filmed his exploration of the place. Of course he partnered with a film studio to make it, but I believe that was mostly for crew, high quality equipment, and additional funding. He still was the creative lead for the film. It's called Closed For Storm and is available for free though Amazon Prime
It's good to see Quimera at a new home where it will be treated much better. That ride had 4 homes.
This park is never reopening.
agreed
RCDB says the ride is SBNO, not demolished. But maybe they changed it after you visited and found it was still SBNO?
they did
Anyone remember the trials red bull motorcycles driving on Montaña Rusa video?
Montaña Rusa has been partially demolished. I think the brakerun and station is gone.
All of it is still there, also if you look on rcdb it is under SBNO
@@RapidZCoasters i've seen pictures of the partial demolition.
It certainly looks like this park was dead decades ago. Wild to see. I don’t know the full extent of the renovation plans and how reliable they are, but it’s going to take a lot and I hope it prospers.
What shame this couldn’t have been RMC’d 😀
Can't believe I'm going to be riding a former coaster from this park this year.
Anyone else see this coaster in 3D back in the 90s on VHS?
Montana Rusa. Spanish for roller coaster is an icon and the inspiration for the OG Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountian. They were both designed by the same manufacturer NAD. It’s a disgrace how the park allowed it to fall in to ruin. The fact that it’s a mobious loop makes it ahead of it time when it was created. I would have loved to have a ride on it even if it was a shell of its former glory. Perhaps my some miracle somebody will buy Montana Rusa and refurbish it ans run it independently much like Cyclone at Coney Island.
Awesome vlog! Looks like it hasn't been in use for 20 years even though we know it has
As a Mexican I’ll always say it: Cedar Fair should buy this thing. I love Six Flags Mexico but they have absolute hegemony over Mexico City. I hope Aztlan really makes it great though
It's sad to see la feria just sitting there abandoned and falling victim to vandalism.
Montaña russa: Most original roller coaster name
I mean if it ain't broke. Plus THey did try to change the name to Fire Snake in the 90's but people HATED that.
2:44 that was a wild mouse
6:11 that was the queue entrance for montaña rusa
When this park closed, there was a contest in which the interested of purchasing it submitted their ideas for the park, Six flags even entered the competition but they gave the “award” to another company
No.... Not the iron gwazi of Mexico that joke was too funny I had to hear that at least five times lol
Her Spanish is good 😊
They should retract that wooden coaster to give the new park a thrilling coaster.
Awesome video
Man, this is sad. This park is in a sort of way suffering the same fate as Japan's Expoland did back in 2007 when Fujin Raijin II derailed. All it took was for the derailment of a roller coaster to cause the park the close down.
I know that Expoland didn't immediately close forever after the accident like La Feria de Chapultepec did 12 years later, but it almost feels as though history had repeated itself. All I'm hoping for is that somebody buys this park and restores it to its former glory.
Six Flags can't buy the park as they already have Six Flags Mexico, which is like, a nearly 40-minute drive from La Feria. IDK if Cedar Fair is interested in buying the park, but since they own one park that is not in the US (Canada's Wonderland), perhaps they can give this one a try?
It's been said that they're keeping parts of the structure for landscaping or so, but just like the two mayor turns. Everything else is getting demolished.
Fun fact: someone did motorcycle stunts on this ride for Red Bull
If they're planning on re-opening the park why can't they preserve Montana Rusa?
A wasted opportunity for an RMC
La montaña Rrusa is going to be partially demolished, 2 of the corners will be reused like scenario for the new virtual "really low risk" park.
N.a.d. also built colossus at magic mountain but it was called international amusement devices by the time it was built
There many videos of people breaking in which are really cool, too bad you did not enter lol
Will you ride the triple looper at IB this year?
Going to the Chernobyl park next?
I'll feel the same way about this place as I currently feel about Conneaut Lake now that Blue Streak has been demolished if they tear down Montoña Rusa. ie That's not something a park can come back from.
It such a shame to see such a unique park go under and then get abused with graffiti. I also hate to see a really unique woodie go to “waste” now.
Just found this video I don't know if you remember but when you were there did you happen to see a caterpillar Ride there cause if there was could you tell me the name of it
They should save Montaña Rusa from the wrecking ball #SaveMontañaRusa
Montana Russa was partially demolished
Did you vlog your visit to Parque Diversiones un Costa Rica??
definitely should have asked the guards if they could have escorted you into the park to see what is going on inside the park
we actually did- they said they didn't have the authority to let us in, we would've had to contact them way in advance about it
@@CoasterStudios rip, I’m proud that you took the correct precautions and still were very coaster nerdy about it though haha
How were you allowed insidd?
We weren’t allowed inside. We never went inside.
this is sad to see
I got all the credits before it closed. To be fair the park operations was very poor.
If I was rich ill bring the park back lol
If this is not a sign to buy this and open your own park idk what is
No, isn't going to change, at least not in this administration with Claudia Sheinbaum at the government of CDMX in a period of 6 rears. (3 years remaining).
Noooooooooo. That park has a zozo. Look in planet coas tree r if you don’t know what it is.
The real name of that ride type is a Loop-O-Plane
It’s crazy to see eltororyans experience compared to this.
If Mexico closes your park because it's too dangerous!
maybe they delayed demolishing it because of the pandemic
