The Largest Piñata in the World
 PVNN
| | On December 2nd and 3rd, Six Flags Mexico hosted the world's biggest piñata party for the launch of "Viva Piñata (TM)," the new video game for play exclusively on the Xbox 360(TM) game and entertainment system. |
Word is that Microsoft’s new Xbox 360 game, Viva Piñata, is pretty darn great. So great that it deserves the world's biggest paper mache animal. Over at Six Flags Mexico, they did just that by creating a 14.6 meter piñata that just screams, "Smash me por favor."
On December 2nd and 3rd, Six Flags Mexico hosted the world's biggest piñata party for the launch of "Viva Piñata (TM)," the new video game for play exclusively on the Xbox 360(TM) game and entertainment system.
In true Viva Piñata spirit, the Xbox 360 team in Mexico City set about establishing a new world record for the biggest piñata. Forty-five people worked on the construction process, and over 800 people (kids and their families) had a hand in finishing the giant Horstachio piñata, which stands 14.6 meters tall and 16 meters long (approximately 48 feet by 52 feet), weighs 2 metric tons (4,400 pounds), and took three full weeks to create.
After appearing on U.S. store shelves in November, "Viva Piñata" is already a hit, making waves with consumers and press alike. Fans are enamored with the vibrant world where they can create and customize their own environment to attract, tame and nurture more than 60 species of wild piñata and explore hundreds of personalization options, including naming their piñatas, choosing accessories for them to wear, and deciding where to plant grass and flowers.
Players can also connect with friends, family and other players around the world through the Xbox Live(R) online entertainment network, where they can trade items from their piñata paradise - everything from the smallest plant to the largest piñata. Xbox Live will offer accessories for download into the game to personalize piñata collections.
La Piñata Más Grande del Mundo

Las piñatas, símbolos de diversión de la cultura mexicana, clásicas en estas temporadas decembrinas durante las posadas entre los vecinos de las colonias y barrios de la ciudad de México, unas bellas bestias que destrozamos cada año en pro de conseguir dulces, una tradición que chicos y grandes seguimos por ser parte del mexicano.
Microsoft se une a esta tradición este año con el lanzamiento del videojuego Viva Piñata (para el Xbox 360) para celebrarlo y demostrar el compromiso que tiene con el mercado mexicano presentó hoy en conjunto con Six Flags la Piñata más grande del mundo, la cual ante un notario se ratificó que rompió el record Guiness, arrebatándolo de la ciudad de Cincinatti antigua poseedora del record, esta piñata de nombre Hostachio mide 14.6 mts. de alto y 16 de largo.
Los niños que asistieron tuvieron la oportunidad de golpear la piñata y como todas las veces que se golpea una piñata está soltó deliciosos dulces (que desgraciadamente me impidieron ir a recoger); además se invitó a los presentes a quedarse y disfrutar de las atracciones del parque.
