Crisis and demise

On 29 July 1990, one of the wagons of the ride Matter Horn broke, and in the incident a 15-year-old girl named Roxana Celia Alaimo died, and her friend Karina Benítez was severely wounded.

Four months later, the intendent Carlos Grosso ordered the definitive closure of Italpark. [1]
