Montaña Rusa, Wooden roller coaster at La Feria Chapultepec Mágico, Mexico.
Montaña Rusa is a wooden roller coaster that extends through multiple levels of the park and takes riders over steep wooden tracks. The structure consists of massive wooden beams forming a dense network of curves and descents visible from outside the ride.
The ride was built as a technical marvel of the 20th century that fascinated both engineers and park visitors alike. Over the decades it became a landmark of the park before eventually closing.
The name Montaña Rusa means 'mountain railway' in Spanish, reflecting the park's cultural heritage. Visitors immediately recognized the ride by its distinctive wooden structure and the way it dominated the landscape around it.
Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and secure their valuables, as the ride is intense. Since the ride is a large installation, long queues can form, especially on weekends.
The ride had a special construction where passengers traveled on mirrored paths and each side offered a different perspective. This made every visit interesting since one could experience the same route in different ways.
