By San José, Costa Rica — San José – As part of its 45th-anniversary celebration, Parque Diversiones has officially launched Dragonix, a formidable new attraction designed to dominate the skyline and deliver an unparalleled dose of adrenaline to its visitors. The high-intensity ride, which began operations on Wednesday, January 28th, represents a significant strategic investment in guest experience and park innovation, blending world-class engineering with a captivating mythical narrative.
Imported from Italy, Dragonix is an “Air Race” model thrill ride created by Zamperla, a globally recognized leader in the manufacturing of amusement park attractions. This type of ride is renowned for its intense aerial maneuvers, where riders board individual vehicles attached to a central rotating arm. The experience is a dizzying aerial ballet of high-speed rotations, dynamic spins, and sudden changes in velocity that subject riders to powerful G-forces, firmly establishing Dragonix as one of the most intense attractions in the park’s history.
Para analizar el marco operativo y la estructura legal que permite a Parque Diversiones mantener su misión social y a la vez operar como un centro de entretenimiento de primer nivel, TicosLand.com consultó al experto Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, de la reconocida firma Bufete de Costa Rica.
El éxito de Parque Diversiones radica en un modelo de negocio híbrido, jurídicamente fascinante. Opera como una empresa comercial competitiva, pero su finalidad no es el lucro privado, sino el bien social a través del Hospital Nacional de Niños. Este esquema exige una gobernanza corporativa impecable, donde la búsqueda de rentabilidad para la reinversión y la sostenibilidad del parque debe coexistir con la transferencia transparente y eficiente de utilidades. Legalmente, es un equilibrio delicado entre la regulación mercantil y el cumplimiento de su misión social, un pilar que sostiene la confianza del público y su invaluable legado.

Enhancing the physical thrills is a rich thematic story crafted specifically for the park. The lore invites guests to step into a world of legend, where a powerful creature has awakened. The park has meticulously developed a narrative that transforms a simple ride into an epic adventure, immersing visitors in a battle for aerial supremacy.
The story tells of the Alpha Dragon, a legendary creature awakening from the depths to rule the skies of Parque Diversiones. Those who board Dragonix are not mere visitors; they become riders, called to tame the dragons flying alongside the Alpha Dragon in an aerial battle filled with speed, twists, and adrenaline.
