Seeing that Schwarzkopf coaster in its current state makes me sad. :cry:

Wow! I loooved this report, im from Buenos Aires and i was very surprised to see this.
The majority of the rides (rocket simulator, the super 8 volante coaster, the racing cars, etc) at Lujan are from ItalPark, a parked that was in the middle of the city of Buenos Aires and closed down in 1990 after a girl died in a ride called the matterhorn.
You missed the Parque de la Costa, its the biggest park in Buenos Aires and have a few good custom coasters, like boomerang and the vekoma inverted with 5 inversions.
You should all visit Argentina, its a very beautiful and big country.
Thanks for this report!

btw, Aconcagua was the first "big" coaster i`ve ever rode.
It was back in 1996 and i keep it in my heart! I should go to the park and hae some pics of it since i didnt know you can actually go inside the area of the coaster!

I've visited Parque de La Costa in 2011, so in 2012 I decided to focus on the least famous parks. I missed Republica de Los Niños though. :|
