Sad to see a Schwarzkopf just sitting there rotting away.

I've read reports that Vertigorama did open briefly in the 90s but it was rough as hell and closed down soon after. I've looked for years for proof of this but so far just have peoples written words. I guess it's a bit of a coaster Urban Legend. I just wonder which is better... Vertigorama or Orphan Rocker :p

You both are so true :( :cry: :( .

Really sad to see, among other things, the Non-Loop-Coaster (but nevertheless with the classy and original headrests) "Aconcagua" in these conditions...

Anyway, thank you for your nice and interesting (and report) pictures, Mrenata!

In fact Vertigorama never opened, since it's electrical parts never came to Parque de La Ciudad.

I've gone pantless!

I think he did, and is now in seclusion, mourning quietly.

Awesome report! I've always been intrigued by the parks from around the world especially parks that we don't hear about everyday. Can't wait to see more!

We all have that one coaster that we're ashamed to ride, but we love it anyway!

Awesome reports!!! I need to just travel more like you to parks. You inspire me to want to travel on my own to parks.
I may not know everything about coasters... what I do know is they are my life...

Buy cool t-shirts here!!!

I'd more likely fire up that blue coaster and catch a ride on it than pet a tiger and kiss a lion :lol:
