Italpark, Family amusement park in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The park featured numerous mechanical rides, including roller coasters, bumper cars, ghost trains, and a prominent Matter Horn attraction spanning multiple hectares.
Established in 1960 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the May Revolution, Italpark operated on the former grounds of the Japanese Park.
Throughout the 1980s, Italpark represented a central entertainment destination for Buenos Aires residents, drawing 15,000 visitors during weekend operations.
The park maintained operations until 1990, when a fatal accident involving the Matter Horn ride led to municipal intervention and permanent closure.
Following its closure, several rides were relocated to other parks, with the Super 8 Volante roller coaster finding a new home at Argenpark in Luján.
