AmyUD06 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So in other words, the rides will be left to rot (without even the pitiful amount of maintenance they previously received), for an extended amount of time, making them worthless in the end. Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKvillalba Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 A friend of mine captured the following drone footage of the current state of La Feria (April 2020), as you can see, six months after the accident, the park remains in the exact same state as the day it closed, with no rides removed yet and even Quimera's fatal train still valleyed in the spot where it's last car finally detached.

Habreno Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Those cars on Quimera aren't moving until a final report is issued on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I thought there was already a final report?? Lack of maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It really is impressive how many rides they crammed around Montana Rusa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is there a pile of garbage in a swimming pool in the middle of Montana Rusa? Why did anyone go here when the nicest Six Flags park ever was right down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 ^ Yes the park uses the middle of Montana Rusa as the park's graveyard. You get this great view on the log flume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyebrows Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is there a pile of garbage in a swimming pool in the middle of Montana Rusa? Why did anyone go here when the nicest Six Flags park ever was right down the road? Yeah the only reason I can think of to go here is Quim- oh wait...

Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 ^ Quimera is still arguably the most intense coaster I ever rode. Thankfully MindBender at Edmonton is close, but that one doesn't haul through the finale like Quimera did since La Feria ripped out the brakes.

coasterbill Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is that log floating or just rolling down a hill in an empty trough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 ^ The trough is pretty much empty. Here's a better shot showing just how little water they use. Â That long flume was such as spectacular disaster, I loved it. There's also a part where you need to duck when it goes under a building (think Knoebels Motor Boats clearances). And the final drop is profiled so awkwardly. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I guess no water is better than dirty water. And it also keeps the ride time high since you move so slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKvillalba Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Well, that is strange, of all the times I've been to La Feria I had never seen Los Troncos run with that little water. Usually, the water level is just "normal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenturyFlyer Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I don't want this to become the main discussion thread for La Feria, but I thought I'd share this listing of Cascabel (Kennywood's former Laser Loop). https://www.usedrides.com/rides/217016?fbclid=IwAR06NCkg25gu-uMcmEqdyxkIk5G4AqY9z7Zm1Av3UFrs7kOigUTnLHkHtYw I haven't looked to see if there are any other rides from this park listed. Â 490k. For a forty year old coaster. With a flywheel launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I wonder if they will try to sell the Quimera or just junk it. With a complete refurb and new trains like they did for SDL over at Hershey, it would be a good addition for a small park here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roller coaster headcanon is that Olympia Looping ends up at Knoebels after it retires from the fair circuit. A refurbished Dreier Looping would be an acceptable substitute.

MKvillalba Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hello everyone! Although the removal of rides at La Feria has been going for about a month, starting this week it has taken full speed with the beginning of the disassembly of Quimera and Raton Loco. More pictures here It seems likely that they are planning to remove all the rides before the official announcement of the winner of the concession agreement for the construction and operation of the new park to be located here, the announcement iwill take place on november 29th. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I liked that park, with all it's rides thrown together on both sides of the main coaster. Sorry to see it being all dismantled like that. And some U.S./Cdn park has got to name their mad mouse Raton Loco. It's too good a name, not to use again. Marvin the Clown, and me. I miss him and the park. TPR 2013 Mexico Tour. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanthonyam Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Here is a recent video update. I cant believe they left those Quimera trains still sitting there on the track midcourse!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The fact that they're carefully dismantling Quimera as opposed to just knocking it down makes me optimistic that it's going to find a new home somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
