and it was kind of poetic that our trip finished at the park we visited at the start as we returned to Bosque de Aragon to ride the new finds.
As we walked to the rides in the north-west we could hear the train running and noticed the park was much more busier than our earlier visit. We were definitely here at the right time on this occasion.
The coaster was quite frankly atrocious, with the second hill whipping everyone's necks more than it should. It didn't help that the ride was run for about 6 laps. So far we'd done OK on the pain front with the Chinese Corkscrew on Mexico day 1 being the worst, but this took the crown.
See for yourselves. This isn't sped up at all. Ow ow ow!
Quickly leaving that behind we made our way around to other collection of rides.
and the coaster here was running too. A quick conversation with the girl running the ride had her going off to check that it was OK for us to ride. This one struggled to make it over the hill and the girl had to turn up the motor and another chap had to come and give us a push. A little bit of rocking from us helped get the coaster over the hill and were soon on our way.
This ride was next door was ridden by two teenagers whilst we were on the coaster. Now when teenagers are on a ride they usually make some noise, but these two weren't doing anything. They were just hunched over the front of their car. That usually means one of two things. The ride is too intense to make any noise or its extremely boring. Judging by the speed it was going around there was no way it could be the latter so I thought it would be a good idea to ride it.
It was the most intense centrifugal ride I've ever done and it hurt. The cars were just the right height to press on your ribs and the forces pushed you outwards ensuring the ribs would get hurt. It took some effort to keep upright and we weren't strapped in. Over compensate in getting back up and you could fly out the top. I was feeling the blood running from my head and at one point I somehow started sliding down into the floor of the car, and when you thought it was all over and had composed yourself back into your seat ready to get out then run it backwards.
We were very glad to have survived this ride, and I think I'd happily ride it again now that I know what it does. A unique and fun way to finish the trip.
That's one proud ride operator. I tried to find out how many Gs it put us through but he didn't know. It must have been at least 6.
So we'd finished where we started much like the hobbits in Lord of the Rings only without the eagle bound return leg. I was pleased that we'd gotten what we labelled the airport set. It's hard to believe there were three, possibly four, rollercoasters literally under our noses the whole time.
From here it was time to say "Adios" to Mexico as we dropped off the rental car and headed to the airport for our flights home.
