Bosque Mágico[1] was an amusement park located in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, Mexico. Located at the address Av. Eloy Cavazos. The park opened in 1993 and closed on August 28, 2022. The park was operated by a company named Diversiones Dinamicas,

The park closed due to the Government of Nuevo Leon constructing a project that needed the land.

The park opened in 1993 with a single roller coaster named Montaña Rusa. The park earned the nickname "Bosque Tragico" in English "Tragic Forest" as an urban legend spread that there was an accident on their roller coaster. The legend stated that 3 kids died after a train malfunctioned.[2]

Around the years 2014-2015 the park received around 42,000,000 Pesos from Arca Continental the second largest Coca Cola bottler in Latin America. They also received 15,000,000 from the Nuevo Leon government to promote tourism.

On February 9, 2020 a 31 year old man named Rodolfo Hinojosa Hernández was assassinated in the bathroom at the park.
