Montaña Rusa, Wooden roller coaster at La Feria Chapultepec Mágico, Mexico.
The construction included a height of 33.5 meters, a drop of 24.4 meters, and reached speeds up to 85 kilometers per hour along its wooden track.
From 1964 to 1976, this engineering achievement maintained its position as the highest wooden roller coaster structure in the world before its closure in 2019.
Engineers Aurel Vaszin and Edward Leis designed this National Amusement Device Company creation, which influenced future roller coasters like Screamin' Eagle and Colossus.
The roller coaster accommodated 1400 riders per hour, making it an efficient attraction for the numerous visitors at La Feria Chapultepec Mágico.
The track configuration followed a Möbius strip design, allowing passengers starting on the left track to return on the right track and vice versa.
