The Parque Diversiones Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes (English: National Amusement Park Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes; also known as Parque Diversiones) is an amusement park located in San José, Costa Rica. The park's motto is "healthy children helping healing children".[1] The park was named for Dr. Brenes because it was his proposal which resulted in it being established. His idea was that the profits from the amusement park would assist to support the National Children's Hospital "Dr. Carlos Saénz Herrera", which was established in 1964.[1] The National Amusement Park began operating at the end of 1981.[1]


Among other attractions, the amusement park has four roller coasters:

  • Bocaraca (completed 2005) a Vekoma Whirlwind roller coaster.
  • Teletren (2002) a kiddie roller coaster.
  • Ciclon (1987) closed and removed at 2006, replaced by Disko in 2007.
  • Ghibli (1984) another kiddie roller coaster.
  • Bumeran (2012) a Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster.
  • Torbellino (2018) a Zamperla Wild-Mouse roller coaster, to open in December 2018.

Beside the steel coasters, there are three water coasters:

  • Splash Caribe
  • Reventazón
  • Pacuare

Excluding roller coasters, this park has some attractions too, starting with the youth ones:

  • Disko
  • Skymaster
  • Torre
  • Tornado
  • Conchas Locas
  • Carros chocones para adultos
