SIX FLAGS MEXICO Mexico City, Mexico (Abbreviation: SFM) Formerly: Reino Aventura Six Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (1/2/2025) According to various reports, a 17 year-old visiting Six Flags Mexico collapsed and began to experience seizures shortly after taking a ride on the park’s Superman el Ultimo Escape hypercoaster (Morgan) this past week. Emergency personnel were called in who took him to a nearby hospital, but according to most reports he had already passed away before arrival. While there are various reports commenting on a possible lack of speed for the emergency responders to arrive. According to medical reports the autopsy lists the cause of death as being due to a “cerebral and pulmonary edema”, which is where fluid builds up around the brain and in the lungs. Many things could cause this that are possibly due to pre-existing conditions such as acute hypertension and/or congestive heart failure, which is why most major thrill rides do post warnings that guests with existing health conditions should not ride.
2025 - Batgirl - (11/29/2024) Six Flags Mexico just can’t win right now… first they lose the Vekoma Tilt coaster that they wanted to install for 2025 to Cedar Point, and now the park has confirm dthat they are closing the park’s BOOMERANG after this weekend. Or are they? Actually no… it’s not. About 24 hours after the initial rage and disappointment had time to peak online on social media the park added a follow up post regarding the Boomerang to say that “*Cough, Cough... we missed writing a part: Boomerang closes its tem-po-ral-men-te” because Boomerang will “transform into a new experience that you will soon be able to enjoy. Are you ready for Batgirl?” Well played Six Flags Mexico! Very well played, especially following the online outrage about the silent closures of coasters at other Six Flags parks in New Jersey and Texas. So Yes… Boomerang will reopen in 2025 as “Batgirl”. I can only assume they’ll give it a new coat of paint to maybe go with the Batgirl logo on the teaser, which features a couple of shades of purple with gold/yellow highlights. The trains definitely need a new look at well, so it might be a good time to upgrade to Vekoma’s new style trains with the soft-vest restraints if possible as they really do improve the ride experience on those Boomerang coasters.
2026 - New Roller Coaster - (11/14/2024) A press release from Six Flags today confirmed that the company is planning to spend over $1 BILLION on the parks over the next two years. Some of this will come in the form of enhancements to the guest experience, such as new themed areas, dining upgrades and technology enhancements. While we’ve seen the 2025 capital projects ($500 million) already announced, they decided to post a list of teasers of what they are already confirming will come to some of the parks in 2026 as part of another $525 million capital investment plan. Six Flags Mexico made the 2026 list, and rightfully so after losing their 2025 coaster project to Cedar Point as Siren's Curse. Unfortunately, it looks like the 2026 plans to bring a new roller coaster to Mexico will have to be a little smaller than what was originally planned, as they are now only saying that the park will get “a family thrill boomerang coaster”.
