Six Flags México

Six Flags México is an amusement park owned by Six Flags Inc. It is the only Six Flags park operating in Mexico. It is located in the Tlalpan borough, on the southern edge of Mexico City. This Six Flags park is one of the most important theme parks in Mexico and the largest in Latin America. It was previously known as "Reino Aventura" and was a Mexican-owned and run theme park, during which time the orca Keiko was its principal attraction.

Reino Aventura History

Reino Aventura (Adventure Kingdom) Opened its gates in 1982, and is ever since the largest theme park in all Latin America. The Park's Mascot was a purple dragon named Cornelio. Since its opening no new attractions were added so attendance dropped. In 1992 the park was closed for an extensive remodeling as well as adding new rides and it opened once again in July 3 1993 with the new name El Nuevo Reino Aventura (The New Adventure Kingdom) featuring new rides like El Rio Salvaje (a raft ride), Viaje Inesperado (a motion simulator) and El Roller (a Vekoma Kiddie Coaster). In this year the feature film Free Willy was shot in the park. This attracted numerous animal rights organizations which pressured the park to free the orca Keiko. After Keiko left, Cornelio the dragon became once again the Park's official mascot.

In 1999 Premier Parks bought Reino Aventura for an estimated $59 million. Under new administration, the park's name was officially changed to Six Flags México.
