The concept

Talocan stands in an Aztec temple dedicated to the rain god Tlaloc. A large gondola hangs from two arms and swings riders back and forth above the temple. Fire and water play a big part in the show around it.

The Experience

The gondola flips upside down and sometimes pauses for a moment, leaving you hanging face down. Meanwhile, fountains spray and flames burst into life. The movements are unpredictable, which makes the ride surprisingly intense.
