Selva Mágica

Selva Mágica was a Mexican amusement park located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Founded in 1988, it was one of the largest amusement parks in western Mexico and became an emblematic attraction in the city of Guadalajara until its definitive closure in 2026. The park was managed and operated by The Dolphin Company. It offered a wide range of attractions, including children's rides, family rides, extreme rides, and other attractions such as a snow zone, bird and dolphin shows, a marine world, and dolphin swimming experiences. The park also collaborated with local educational programs, offering activities focused on environmental conservation and outdoor didactic learning. Its most popular attraction was Titán, the largest roller coaster in western Mexico, which featured six slopes and an inclined curve, offering views of parts of the Guadalajara Zoo. Another notable coaster was Bullet, a Schwarzkopf GmbH roller coaster designed by Werner Stengel, which opened on December 19, 2013, after being purchased from Flamingo Land Resort in the United Kingdom. The park's closure was announced by Selva Mágica Servicios Compartidos para el Entretenimiento, S.A. de C.V. (SECOEN), the operating company, as part of a global restructuring of the group to which it belongs. The announcement expressed gratitude to generations of families from Guadalajara and clarified that Selva Mágica was an independent company, separate from the Guadalajara Zoo, though it acknowledged the zoo's early support. The park closed while fully complying with its obligations to its collaborators.
