Montaña Rusa was a wooden roller coaster located at La Feria Chapultepec Magico in Mexico City, Mexico.

History

The ride was demolished in 2022. A large curve of the ride was rebuilt in steel as a homage to the defunct ride and is now a thematic sculpture at the Aztlán Parque Urbano park that replaced La Feria Chapultepec Magico.[1]
