The huge inflatable water slides installed in Guadalajara’s Plaza de Liberacion and Plaza Universidad over the Easter holiday were not only criticized by many Tapatiosas an “eyesore” but failed to attract the large numbers of participants as in previous years. Only 60,000 people used the slides, way below the sponsor’s target of 800,000. The installations also consumed a huge amount of water: 200,000 liters. The exercise cost the sponsor around three million pesos.
