Key Information
The Italpark was a theme park in Argentina, which was located at where currently is the Parque Thays (at del Libertador and Callao), in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. It became a landmark of Buenos Aires in its 30 years of existence up until its closure in 1990.
History

Italpark was opened in 1960 to accommodate the festivities of the 150th anniversary of the May Revolution.
Crisis and demise
[edit]On 29 July 1990, one of the wagons of the Matter Horn ride broke, killing 15-year-old Roxana Celia Alaimo, and severely wounding her friend Karina Benítez.
Four months later, the city mayor Carlos Grosso ordered the definitive closure of Italpark as consequence of the tragedy. [1]
