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 help sick 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 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.

  • Ghibli (1984), another kiddie roller coaster.
  • Bumeran (2012), a Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster.
  • Torbellino (2018), a Zamperla Wild-Mouse roller coaster.

Beside the steel coasters, there are three water coasters:
