30 Theme Parks That Were Left Abandoned And Possibly Haunted

14. La Feria de Chapultepec — Mexico City, Mexico

Once a staple of childhood memories in Mexico City, La Feria de Chapultepec was an iconic amusement park located in the heart of Bosque de Chapultepec, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The park opened in 1964 and operated for decades, drawing generations of families with its colorful rides, carnival games, and most famously, Montaña Rusa — a towering wooden roller coaster that was among the tallest and fastest in the world when it opened. But the laughter abruptly stopped in 2019 after a tragic accident on the Quimera roller coaster resulted in the deaths of two riders and injuries to others. The incident triggered an investigation and the permanent closure of the park. Today, La Feria sits eerily silent. The once-majestic Montaña Rusa still stands, but its wooden bones are slowly being overtaken by nature and time. Faded ticket booths, rusting ride tracks, and abandoned food stalls now make up the landscape — a haunting shadow of the vibrant park it once was. Plans to redevelop or replace the park have surfaced, but as of now, La Feria remains frozen in a state of decaying nostalgia.
