I'm so glad you guys like it, it was my pleasure. Yes, they take good care of it. It's the main ride at the park. I wouldn't say it's smooth, but it isn't painful either. It's very enjoyable. Bogota it's usually cold weather, 8 million plus population, capital of the country, a lof entertainment, and Salitre Mágico it's right in the city, it isn't a big park, but has nice rides. Cartagena it's a beautiful colonial city.

Last saturday I went to "Parque Nacional del Café" located in Montenegro, Quindio (Colombia), which is one of the top two Theme Parks in Colombia, the other one being Salitre Mágico in Bogota. Quindio is one the states where famous Colombian coffee is grown, that's why main Theme of the park is coffee. Parque del Café its home to one rollercoaster (former zambezi zinger, WOF) and with 787.3 m lenght stands as the longest in the country, and one of the main rides at the park. Entrance prices vary betweeen $11 and $27 dollars depending on what you want. Enjoy: On our way. Hour and a half trip in car to get there from my city. You don't see much of the park from outside, since most of it is down the mountain, and the entrance is up. Observation tower it's right next to the entrance, and top of the mountain the park it's located at. Skyride it's the most popular way to go downhill, where the rides are. Chairlift and by foot are the other two options. We see you new river rapids. Coffee! I love coffee. Bolivar square! Downhill, the park is divided in three big sections, you have to go through bridges to get to each one of them Our first ride of the day was teh Log Flume. 14 meters tall. We got wet. It's always fun to get wet OK we are here. The former zambezi zinger. It's name Broca now, but most people call it just roller coaster and so the does the park. Sexy Twistyyy It's a fun ride, specially last row. Spiral lift hill porn Next we headed to "Cumbre". 40 meters tall is the tallest freefall in Colombia. Lovely colours River Rapids is the new ride, and only of its kind in Colombia. The line moved fast. Park started to get crowed by 11am. Nice theming Bumper boats! RCT anyone?. They're fun to ride and fun to watch because some people don't get how to drive then and just spin in circles. Too bad it's a capacity nightmare. There is a playground for kids, with a "mini log flume ride". Lunch time! Go Karts through the trees Park was packed after midday. There are Juan Valdez Cafes all over the park. Octopus You can also go horseback riding around the park We´re going back up The park has a beautiful landscaping. Going up hill (or downhill) by foot you get to see a "Native American Indian Cementery" and a "leyends and myths forest" statues but we were tired. Hope u like my photo trip report. And let me know if you come visit Colombia. I'll be happy to help The park has other rides like double karts (for adults with kids), more kids rides, landscape and coffee related rides and shows, but we didn't went to those. Hope you enjoyed it. Bye!

How well do you handle hangtime?
JuanSe_Colombia replied to Vid_w's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember I freaked out a little on Deja Vu when it started climbing the lift hill, but it was exciting as well. Same when they let you hanging upsidedown in those Fire/Super Loop rides, but again I find it more exciting than freakish. -
Vekoma Boomerang! A first?
JuanSe_Colombia replied to GrapesLie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My first boomerang type was Deja Vu at SFMM back in 2008, I had a blast on it. Same year I rode Knott's Boomerang and it was awful my friend and I got dizzy, and I've never gotten that dizzy on a rollercoaster. -

It's 360 degrees, you are able to see the track in front of them, you have to drag it with the mouse to get the angle you want. Awesome video, didn't know they could do that. -
Back in 2008 I went to Vegas and we decided to go to the Stratosphere Casino Tower. We decided to try X Scream first and to me it was the scariest thing ever, like seriously I was like I'm gonna die (overreacting). It was cool, like in a way athat I can say I did! Hang over the edge hundres of feet over Las Vegas, but I think is the one ride I wouldn't do again if I have the chance. I was just super scare.
