La Feria de Chapultepec (transl. Chapultepec Fair), simply branded as La Feria, was an amusement park in Mexico City, Mexico. Located in the middle of Chapultepec Park near the Constituyentes Metro station,[1] it opened in 1964 as Juegos Mecánicos de Chapultepec (transl. Chapultepec Mechanical Games) and was originally operated by the Mexican government. In 1992 Grupo CIE bought it and changed the name to La Feria Chapultepec Mágico (transl. Magic Chapultepec Fair).[2] In 2015, it was bought by Ventura Entertainment and renamed to its last name.[3]
On 28 September 2019 an accident on the Quimera roller coaster killed two people and injured two others.[4] An investigation determined that design flaws by its designer along with a lack of maintenance by the personnel were likely to blame for the accident.[5] On 13 October 2019, the amusement park authorities announced on their official website the definitive closure of the park after the Mexico City Government revoked their license.[6][7] After Ventura Entertainment lost the license, the government sent a message to other park companies such as Six Flags, Cedar Fair, and Seaworld to take over the license of the property.
After Bosque de Chapultepec reopened, most of La Feria's furniture and fences that separate the attractions are being dismantled and the property is being cleaned, and the new owner is yet to be announced, since the six companies that were interested asked for the period of selection, which was meant to be until 20 April 2020, to be extended because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the government is yet to announce the new date. The replacement is expected to be named Aztlán.[8]
