This park was found by Thomas early on in the trip planning and was kept secret until the final week. For someone who loves finding parks, and apparently quite good at it, not being able to find this park did wind me up and Thomas was very good at sending me on wild goose chases. At one point he revealed the name as Parque del Surpriso which I didn't twig translated as "Surprise Park" and spent a day searching Mexico for a park by that name.
What made this more surprising was that it was visible and the easiest of the 3 we'd discovered to spot.
This is the showmen who operate this park.
and when we got to it this park was closed also. We'd quickly learned that these small parks open quite late in the day.
Same ticket sign as the Villa Alegria park.
The "Broken Neck Horse" ride was unwrapped but not operating.
and this was the coaster "Dragon Feliz" which is "Happy Dragon"
It was also closed.
So we sat around for about an hour waiting for the park to open and slowly random people rocked up started to clean the area and very slowly opened the rides. We knew it was worth hanging around despite Tal being scared of a couple of wild dogs who were also roaming around the area.
and with our patience being rewarded, the coaster was the last of the rides to open being operated by a young goth chap.
There wasn't much to say about this ride, it was very similar to the other two but being next to the main road we were getting some odd looks from passers by. We didn't care, it's just one of those things we have to endure for to say we've ridden it :)
A quick walk around the rides revealed nothing extraordinary and as we'd spent hours for 10 minutes of riding we decided it was time to head back to the park we'd visited previously to see if it had opened.
Nice find Thomas!
