WOW!!!! Thank you all for helping and make the proper correction about the manufacturer of this atracctions. Some of you requested more pictures of the river rapids, here they are: This one includes a panoramic view but I guess it must be at original size so it can be viewed without problem. Also, at this link you can se pictures of the construcction process from page 2 to page 5, and from 5 to 7, more pictures of the park: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=616794&page=3 I hope you like it!

A new Amusement park opened last week at Queretaro México. The new park, is called "Parque Bicentenario México" and it´s located at Santa Rosa Jaureguí, about 20 minutes from the center of Queretaro City. This park is operated by the goverment, and the total invesment was about 555 million pesos (37 million US dollars). The terrain of this park is 270 acres, and only a quartes is constructed. The atracctions are: -Loop, double corkscrew arrow coaster -Kiddie wild mouse coaster -Crazy worm coaster -Pirate ship -River rapids -Bumper cars -Carrousell -Antique Cars -Train -Water slides -Pools -Skateboard, skates, bicycle, area. -Kiddie Go Karts -Rowing Boats The park official opening was the last March 21, with special guests, and with a night show with a big band playing music from the Film "Star Wars", and with fireworks and laser show from an Island in the middle of the lake. Here are some pictures of this new park. COASTERS: GUSANO: SELVA DEL RATON: MONTAÑA RUSA: Álso. there´s You Tube Video of the coaster. No POV I don´t know the origin of the coasters, bot they have a SBL sign. Also, The name "Parque Bicentenario" is to celebrate the 200 years of Mexican independence the next year.

Finally the new coaster opened on March 19 with many local artist and with the VIP guest, Michael Antinoro, Executive Vice President, Entertainment and Marketing of the Six Flags Chain. On his speech, he told that the DKC is a family atracction that will bring truly emotions to the mexican family. The most relevant thing that he told is that in a few months they will unveil the new atracctions that will rise on all the parks for the 50th anniversary celebration that will start on 2010 and finish in 2011. The coaster is adapted on the old train area that used to cross from "Pueblo Vaquero" to "Hollywood". The theming ís in english language, similar of the colones installed on the other SF parks. The only thing that is different, is the video on the pre-show that the audio es dubbed in Spanish language. Here are some pics of the event: Overall, this coaster is a great adittion for the park, and the Mexican guests really enjoy the DKC!!!

I guess that this is an important celebration for Donkeys!! Source: http://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/sidmouthherald/news/story.aspx?brand=SMHOnline&category=news&tBrand=devon24&tCategory=newssmh&itemid=DEED05%20Mar%202009%2014%3A42%3A06%3A113 This is a celebration moment! I guess donkeys are OK!!

A bunch of news of this coaster: Check the latest pictures at this link: http://montanarusa.com/forum/index.php?topic=5914.75 Also the local TV commercials, shows that the coaster will open on March 21!

A new artwork shows a new visual concept of the water rides. Saludos Amigos! Milton

You´re right jedimaster1227, that´s an artwork of Sheikra. That´s why I send them an e- mail to check why they used this artwork for the note, and the answer is this link: http://www.elatedww.com/crimson_002.htm I don´t know if they do this to atract investors, or a B&M Diving coaster is proyected for the park. If this second option is true, maybe this could become the first B&M coaster for Mexico. Let´s wait for more information.

New Artwork!!! Check the new illustrations of Mayan Adventure! Source: http://www.parquestematicos.org/noticias/2009/ver-noticia.asp?id=120 The image at the left side shows a diving coaster, but the track looks like a Vekoma or S&S-Arrow. Maybe that´s a new prototype. I´m curious about this drawings!

WOOOW!! That´s amazing! Good job! You really capture the B&M hypercoaster essence. I have a question. How can I record a video with no limits with a white landscape? Yo mention how you do with pictures, but not with video. Thanks and congratulations!

I´ve heard that the observation tower that you mention, is the one that is operating at Cancun. At the moment there´s no info. that mentions used rides for this proyect, but maybe they can purchase any if they consider so.

New Update and now with artwork... mini-artwork! http://thisiscozumel.com/content/view/776/2/ I hope to see more artwork, but a little bigger.

Well, I have another theory. As you know, SF Mexico, is building the Batman Dark Knight Coaster that was originally planned for SF New England. Before this coaster was announced, the rumors claimed that the first B&M coaster for Mexico could be the next big project for this park. On the press conference, Shapiro told the media that another important atracction will come for the 2010 season: Source: http://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/ElFinanciero/Portal/cfpages/contentmgr.cfm?docId=155877&docTipo=1&orderby=docid&sortby=ASC Also there is somethings else that supports this theory. Batman The Ride is the only yellow track coaster of the park, and it will be repainted to change the colors at the moment unknown. The boomerang coaster is now at this process and will change from red track to purple, and blue supports to green. I have no more arguments, but as all theorys, this is one possibility.

Well, it seems that no used rides will be used in this project. The latest news of this new park mentions 3 new and unique coaster rides specially designed for Mayan Adventures: http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/45656/ Sounds good this dual project of a water and theme park!

Source: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/eve/988261101.html Finally a company decided to build a new park on this beautifull place located at the Mexican Caribbean!! I´ll post again if something new is announced!

Well. I guess I can answer your question. Medusa is considered the best wooden coaster of Mexico. Maybe thats nothing special if you consider that we only have 2 woodies on the country. But Maybe this experience could help you: When Superman El Ultimo Escape opened on November 2004, Steven Urbanovics (RIP) was invited as the VIP guest for the inauguration. He rode both coasters, Superman, and Medusa, making that the number 700 of his personal coaster count. When he finished riding the coasters, he told me that Superman was his number 3 steel coaster, and Medusa, his number 1 wooden coaster. In my personal opinion, Medusa is an excellent wooden coaster that take advantage of the terrain to make the first drop higher, and the rest of the ride smooth and thrilling. If you want to know something more, just let me know!

Well. This are 2 different atracctions, The new atracction will be themed as 'Van Helsing'. The park, will use the castle loctaded ath the center of the park, to create this walk through atracction. The DKC is moving on, and here you can see some pictures: http://montanarusa.com/forum/index.php?topic=5914.30

Finally!! Some track pieces are at the park. The first truck with track arrived yesterday to the park. Here are the pictures: http://montanarusa.com/forum/index.php?topic=5914.msg37557#msg37557 Also the structure is advanced. The roof is complete, and the walls will be installed at the same time with the structure. More info coming soon.

lol Well actually, there is a big theory about it. Before Shapiro arrives to the company, the directors of Six Flags Mexico travelled to Magic Mountain to ride Tatsu and other coasters. They caw and compared all the coasters to see which kind of coaster fits better to SF Mexico. The rummors told that the first B&M coaster for The park and the country, was on the designing process. Then Shapiro arrived, and we know the rest of the story. No one knows what happened with the proyect, but maybe the answer can be given at 2010. Well... NOW HERE ARE THE NEWS!! Official Video: Official logo: Official press release in spanish: Soon, more pics of the construcction, and traslation of press release!

Hey guys!! I have to eat my words, cause it´s now official!! Batman Dark Knight Coaster is now official for Six Flags México!! The official announcement has been made on various sites, and some pictures and a video are online: Pics: http://www2.esmas.com/ninos/fotos/dark-knight-coaster-six-flags-mexico/10558 Video: http://video.esmas.com/video/the-dark-knight-coaster/4/35820#canal_video The anouncement: http://www.esmas.com/ninos/reportajes/774608.html Shapiro said: "Te coaster will open on Spring 2009. This family coaster will be located at SFM because it recives 2 million visitors each year. There are important invetments for this year, and other important atracction is planned for 2010 seasson" That´s all for the moment!

Well. Usually the new rides and atractions are opened for "Semana Santa" (2 weeks that usually are given for vacation on March and/or April) That´s the most crowdwed weeks for the park in the year. But sometimes, external situations change the plans for the park, and important atracctions have opened in different Months. For Example: Medusa CCI Wooden Coaster- Opened on June caused by a delay on construcction process. Superman El Ultimo Escape Chance-Morgan Hyper Coaster - Opened on November caused by a 2 year delay for political and corruption reasons. Maybe this coaster will no be offically announced soon to avoid the same political problems, and maybe on January or February when the construcction is more advanced, they decide to announce.

Saludos desde México! Well, the word "Grave" is usually used to express a critical situation... just a cultural comment. About the new coaster, there is no official announcement, but there are different clues. 1st, clue: Work at the site. at the montanarusa.com forums are several pictures showing work near the "Rueda India" (A Ferris Wheel), and the station of the defunct "Tren Santa Fe" (A Train): http://montanarusa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5523&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=105 2nd. Clue: A Local news paper, showed this note last week: http://www.milenio.com/node/109611 "The economical situation won´t affect the growing plans for Six Flags México. Next Week (This Week) Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro will visit the park to present the new investment program and the new atracctions for the park." If there´s something new, I´ll tell you!

I´m Shoked!! All that Vekoma Information is like Gold!! I need to know something, if someone can help me. The Picture of the boomerang coaster, shows a model that maybe opened in 1984. The only Boomerang coaster that opened that year and at the date, there´s no picture available, is the one located at Puebla, México. I was wondering if that boomerang is picture is of the one that was located at Puebla, because the colors of structure and train, are the same of the Boomerang relocated at Reino Aventura (Now Six Flags Mexico). Any information that helps to find a picture of the Boomerang at Puebla will be apreciated! Thanks!

Well. I dont know if the Vekoma Boomerang is considered as a 6 inversion ride or 3. (Boomerang, loop, and backwards loop, boomerang.) Also a SLC. (Batman the ride) @ SF Mexico. 5 inversions, also described on previous posts.

Black Mamba Stealth @ thorpe park Same reason of most of the posts! Regrds!
