}}Montaña Rusa (Roller Coaster) is a wooden roller coaster at La Feria Chapultepec Mágico in Mexico City, Mexico. In 1993, it was renamed Serpiente de Fuego (Serpent of Fire) but later it was changed back to Montaña Rusa.[1] For several years, Montaña Rusa held the record of world's tallest roller coaster.[2][3] With the conversion of Medusa at Six Flags México into a hybrid rollercoaster in 2014, Montaña Rusa is the only wooden roller coaster in Mexico.[4]

History

Montaña Rusa was constructed in 1964 by International Amusement Devices, Inc. and was designed by Aurel Vaszin and Edward Leis.[1] Aspects of the coaster's design served as an inspiration for the designers of future roller coasters, such as Screamin' Eagle and Colossus.[3] In the 1980s, Montaña Rusa underwent a major $800,000[5] renovation and refurbishment for safety and ride comfort.[6] Following the work, the original coaster builder responded with a tongue-in-cheek remark that he was "at least 80 percent sure" that roller coaster passengers would remain in the trains' seats.[7]

In 2006, Luis Felipe Santamaría set a record for roller coaster endurance by riding on Montaña Rusa for a total of 1,333 consecutive rides. He did not leave the train, and only briefly stopped for medical checks. Santamaría both ate and slept on the roller coaster.[8]

Layout and ride experience

The layout of Montaña Rusa is unusual in that it appears to be a racing coaster, but it is, in fact, a Möbius loop coaster. This coaster design means that a left-track ride will result in a return on the right-track side and vice versa; it also means that the coaster has a continuous track of {{convert|8000|ft|m}}.[1] Montaña Rusa is one of only a handful of such coasters in the world.[6][9] In 1979, roller coaster expert Robert Cartmell rated it as being the 8th best roller coaster in North America—as well as rating it the "most brutal", a characteristic that stemmed partly from Mexico City's {{convert|7350|ft|m}} altitude.[10] As of July 2013, the cost of a single ride is 20 pesos.[11]
