Background
El Desafío operates at Parque de la Costa in Tigre, Argentina. The park's official attraction page is the primary public listing for the ride name, category, and rider requirements.
Atlas curated this record as part of the South America region pipeline: country → park → official ride URL → seed bundle. Manufacturer and opening year come from park-facing research notes; we do not import third-party encyclopedia prose.
Numeric specs such as height and speed are stored only when the park or manufacturer publishes them. Where the official page is silent, those fields stay empty until a Tier-1 source is confirmed — better a thin accurate row than invented numbers.
Today the ride remains part of the operating roster listed by Parque de la Costa, and future enrichments (deeper history, media, records) can attach to this slug without reshuffling the park bundle.
