**Aguila Loco** - Vekoma SLC - 1997

In 1992, a few short years after El Grande made the ranks at this park, rumours began to arise once more about the possibility of a new coaster to hit the park within three to four years. Speculation arose even further in early 1995 when pictures leaked of land being plowed.
The officials at the park contacted a few coaster architect companies. Information poured out from the bystander stalkers that noted that the officials were looking at Arrow Dynamics, the company who produced the park's suspended swinging coaster. As plans had begun in 1992, it was confirmed that Arrow Dynamics would bring the park a 'flying' type coaster. It had been named 'Quetzelqoatl,' but after the ride were finished, and open for only one season, the flying coaster crashed to the ground as an earthquake hit the park in late '93. Many coaster enthusiasts were crushed to know that 'Quetzalqoatl' had failed. it would take time, as park officials, after the collapse of the flying coaster, scrambled to find another coaster to build as the park was losing revenue from it's commercials for Quetzalqoatl. '96 brought promise. Names were strewn about in the head room of the park. Names such as Intamin and Vekoma were tossed around. It was eventually decided that Vekoma would sport a coaster. Enthusiasts wondered what Vekoma would produce this time. Shortly after the new year, leaked images made headway as it captured Vekoma's SLC trains laying sideways on the ground, near many bits of green track. Soon after, even though everyone knew, it was announced anyways. It did not take long to complete and the name 'Aguila Loco' which translates into 'Crazy Eagle' reclaimed the name. As a tribute for Arrow Dynamic's efforts on Quetzalcoatl, they stuck with the 'bird-like' theme, and also painted Aguila Loco's track the same colours as Quetzalqoatl. In 2009, the ride closed for the season for maintenance to repair a piece of track that was wearing too quickly. An entire new coat of paint entranced the now 12 year old ride for the 2010 season. As it stands, it remains the smoothest SLC in existence. 
                                                                   



**Car Ride** - 1997

Shortly after Aguila Loco opened to the public, Car Ride (Which had been sitting closed, and never opened since 1994) opened to the public for the same season.                                            
                                                                                          
                                                                                       


(Ignore the WIP-ness of this park)

That's all for this update! More to come soon! Enjoy.
