Bogota', Colombia April 2001 |

It was a fun little park that they will take many of the students to for their "fun day" at the end of the school year. And with an admission price of around $6 for unlimited rides, you can't beat it! |

| An overview from the intrance to the park. You can see the coaster going up the hill. The tower is for the Condor ride, and there are bumper cars in the castle underneath it. | The coaster itself was a fun ride, with a nice drop that had a sharp turn at the bottom, a helix (360 degree turn) through a "rock" cave, and some bunny hops on the way back to the station. The drop was fun in the front, but when you were in the back it really gave you a good throw (enthusiasts would call it ejector air, since it feels like its trying to eject you from the coaster) | Another view of the park. Again you can see the coaster, with the Merry-go-Round and the Airplane ride in the foreground. |
 |
Other rides that you can't see included an Enterprise, full size go karts, kiddie go carts (made just for the real little ones), and a bunch of other kiddie rides. |
 |
| Above- the spider ride- similar to our Octupus rides, but not as fast.
Though they gave us a good ride, long and varied in pace, that made it
a lot of fun.
The staff at the park was great- very friendly, helpful, and doing their best to make sure we had a great, memorable time. |

Above- one of the kids rides. These are little train locomotives
that they move by cranking handles on the "drum" in front of them.
In this case all the kids were funning all together, but were obviously
having a great time.
Left- the condor in action at night. You can't see it real well, but each of the 4 arms has several cars in it that you ride in and go around. There isn't much that holds you in, and as you go up the tower spinning around (not real fast) you realize it's a long ways down! |
