At the start of the trip we visited a park under the flight path and I made a comment that people landing into Mexico City might be able to spot the coasters. Some of you may have thought "what if you were on the other side of the plane?". Well I thought of that too as I found a coaster south of the airport.
South of the runway is a park called Lago Mayer Alameda Oriente. Like the Aragon park it includes a number of rides around a lake.
There was just the one site here.
But that definitely looked like a coaster at the south-west end.
and when we got there we were pleased to see a coaster called Cruco in attendance.
Cruco doesn't translate to anything in Spanish but the train doesn't look like a crocodile so it can't be that.
That Winnie car looks to be scraping the ground. That can't be good and for the record it was like this before I got near it. I didn't do it!
More kid rides. This one with El Chavo characters stayed flat so wasn't a coaster.
This was a pretty interesting pirate shop variant and yes it did go all the way around. I don't think I've ever seen something like this before.
We took an interest in this ride called Bigfoot which had hills and drops, albeit small ones. It was powered but we believe it would meet the coaster criteria. So we rode it, once we figured out how to get into the cars without derailing it.
As we were taking pictures of this a woman came over demanding to ask why were taking photos. A response of "Nos gusta montana rusa" (we like roller coasters) and "no comercial" (no commercial reasons) seemed to be good enough for as she nodded, walked off and let us carry on. But we had pretty much done what we wanted to do anyway so headed off to the next park.
