Todos las personas que hayan trabajado o trabajen en Reino Aventura ( six Flags )

Reino Aventura was an amusement park located in Tlalpan in the south-western part of Mexico City. It was opened to the public in March 1982 and at the time it was the biggest amusement park in Latin America.

During the year 1992 the park was closed to the public to undergo major reconstruction and further improvements. Keiko, the orca who played the lead role in the motion picture Free Willy a year after, was one of the attractions that was brought to improve the park during this reconstruction. On July 3, 1992 the park was reopened to the public under the new name "El Nuevo Reino Aventura" ("The New Adventure Kingdom"). In 1995 the park changed management and the name was also changed back to the original. Also in this year it was announced that Keiko was leaving the amusement park to a new home in Newport, Oregon in the United States. Thousands and thousands of people gathered at the amusement park just to say goodbye to Keiko , who finally left for the Oregon Coast Aquarium on January 7, 1996. That day was the end of an era for the amusement park.

March 1999 was the month that Premier Parks, the holding company for all the Six Flags theme parks, announced that they had bought Reino Aventura. That same year, now renamed Six Flags Mýxico, the park underwent a major reconstruction for an amount near to USD $40 million and was reopened to the public on April 14, 2000.
