History

Inaugurated on 1973 under the name of "Parque El Salitre", and located between the 68th Avenue and the 63th Street, near the Parque Simon Bolivar in Bogotá. It was then considered as one of the most modern parks on Latin America. Some years later, the park was closed to the public in 1999, in order to be remodeled. Its reinauguration took place on December 2000, under a new name "Salitre Mágico", with a total of 29 rides located all over the park, among these there was a roller Coaster nicknamed "the Screw" due to its helicoidal form which was imported from the USA and reassembled in Bogotá; some other new attractions such as a giant Chicago Wheel called the "Rueda Millenium" (Millenium Wheel) with a total height of 40 m which offers a panoramic view of the city. The Salitre Magico also offers aquatic attractions and a wide variety of mechanical attractions and shows for children and the whole family. Close to the Salitre Magico, a brother park was inaugurated, the Cici Aquapark, which offers aquatic attractions including a sea waves simulator and several sledges. Both parks are currently part of the Mexican emporium Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento.
