Amusement Park Buenos Aires

Film director Fernando Livschitz of Buenos Aires-based Black Sheep Films has created this truly fascinating video called ‘Inception Park’, in which roller coasters fly through the streets of the Argentinian capital, completely untethered to tracks.

Give yourself two minutes to watch this video, it’s absolutely worth it:

‘Inception Park’ isn’t just a nice series of visual effects — it presents a scenario of the city as one big amusement park in which roller coasters and other attractions are considered ordinary pieces of urban furniture, just like statues and fountains. Now that’s urban play, baby!
