La Feria Chapultepec Mágico
La Feria de Chapultepec La Feria de Chapultepec (transl. Chapultepec Fair), simply branded as La Feria, was an amusement park in Mexico City, Mexico. Located in the middle of Chapultepec Park near the Constituyentes Metro station, it opened in 1964 as Juegos Mecánicos de Chapultepec (transl.
Chapultepec Mechanical Games) and was originally operated by the Mexican government. In 1992 Grupo CIE bought it and changed the name to La Feria Chapultepec Mágico (transl. Magic Chapultepec Fair). In 2015, it was bought by Ventura Entertainment and renamed to its last name.
On 28 September 2019 an accident on the Quimera roller coster killed 2 people and injured others. An investigation determined that design flaws by its designer along with a lack of maintenance by the personnel were likely to blame for the accident. On 13 October 2019, the amusement park authorities announced on their official website the definitive closure of the park after Mexico City Government revoked their license.
After Ventura Entertaiment lost the license, the government sent a mesage to other park companies such as Six Flags, Cedar Fair, and Seaworld go take over the license of the property, while Disney Parks, Experiences and Products is interested in the park.
