On this episode, Kevin takes us to Argentina for a trip to Italpark, an amusement park where the vibes were… not always magical. Between two devastating fires and a tragic death, Italpark’s history…
No, but so Ital Park, it was Argentina's first amusement park.
Wait.
Argentina's most largest and most popular amusement park in the 70s and 80s.
I heard that it didn't start out as an amusement
park.
Is that correct? Who said that? You in your notes right now that I'm reading.
Oh,
my God.
Okay.
So maybe I set up my notes a little differently than what I'm saying.
So please don't pay attention.
Okay.
I'm just talking now.
But it became a very popular amusement park in the 70s and 80s.
It still had like a huge cultural impact.
So a lot of people growing up today that didn't get to go to this amusement park, they still hear stories of people that went and were able to go and how amazing it was.
Wow.
We've got a couple of parks like that in the United States, up in the New England area, that actually killed people, that people still talk about to this day.
Whoa.
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Okay, okay, okay.
So, in order to understand Ital Park, though, I feel like we would have to go back a long time ago.
Hey, you.
To fully understand this park.
Besides that, Ital Park is surrounded by a lot of urban legends, or there's a lot of urban legends surrounding Ital Park.
