INCREDIBLE New Theme Park Coming to Mexico in 2026! Vidanta World Bon Puerta Vallarta

[@azumarill964]

The emphasis on *luxury* theme park kinda takes me off of it, but I’m still hyped to have another top park in the region.

[@flemingg11]

I’m curious, why?

[@JungleJetAviation06]

@@flemingg11Because it gives off the essence that you have to have wealth to go. Mexico isn’t known for having rich citizens, tourists can go but locals might not be able to? Kind of messed up to price out locals.

[@flemingg11]

@ I think that’s the point. Along with the PGA golf course, USD$100 million Cirque show, €40 million gondola, 10,000ft2 homes, etc..

[@SCL6054Prouctions]

For anyone who doesn't know this theme Park will be be near Puerto Vallarta, they made a good placement here

Lowkey more excited for this than Six Flags Qiddiya since I probably can actually go here haha.

Beyond excited for this park! Construction is going great. Several buildings and rides, including two of the coasters have already been built.

If you’re in the states, you can probably afford it if you have any sort of vacation fund. $1 US = $20 MX

[@karstenbursak8083]

Considering that Labour and general costs of living are cheaper in Mexico than in the US, I bet that a trip to Orlando is more expensive

[@JodyR87]

@@karstenbursak8083 for sure. Opens same year as epic universe. I'm sure a flight from the states, hotel, and admission here will be cheaper than a flight to orlando, hotel, and admission to epic universe.

[@tinsote7176]

It’ll probably still be cheaper than Disney

[@ManuelZ22]

When the sellingpoint for a theme park is "luxury" You know it is more about hype than rides. I live in México City and every summer go to Vallarta. For the last 4 years asking everytime "is it open yet?". Originally acces to the parks (of the three planned parks one is partially opened) was only for people having a Vidanta vacation membership (time share condos) which are very expensive. For the cost of a vacation there, Even without paying a membership, I could go to almost any theme park in US or Europe for world class rollercoasters. Will have to wait for prices and packages.

[@SunnylandProds]

When I hear “luxury theme park” I think Discovery Cove vibes. Strong emphasis on guest service and the resort feel, all-inclusive, with reservations required to keep crowds down.

[@chris_allupinya5613]

Tecuani Beast is based on Quetzacoatl the serpent god. Also the name Tecuani comes from a town that's 1 hour away from Puerto Vallarta. My family is from this small town.

[@diazjr1975]

We were at Vidanta in May and this place is awesome. The whole resort reminds me of Disney World. Gondolas from hotel to hotel then to the park. They were testing the water show and it sounded just like World of Color at DCA!

[@javierestrada9621]

finally getting some attention... indeed is a good looking theme park.

[@Givenofficial]

puerto vallarta has been on my radar for a hot minute, now it's a must visit

[@ItsSiebay]

Without saying anything controversial, I love seeing Mexico thrive in the theme park industry.

[@danielwormald4666]

Why would that be controversial?

[@ItsSiebay]

@ I originally was going to phrase it as “We love to see Mexico thrive” which some Americans would disagree with.

[@Sauci55on]

If you are wondering the only difference between a luxury theme park and normal one is probably the ticket price.

[@DiegoPineda26]

The park looks incredible, but it leaves such a sour taste in my mouth. Vidanta has been neck-deep in controversy for years. They’ve been accused of multiple human rights violations and some pretty nasty ecocide. And “luxury theme park”, mixed with the fact that this video only shows gringos having fun and locals only as servers and employees, screams “we want to displace and price out locals and just target rich white people”. I’m sure the park will be out of this world, but it also looks like something straight out of a dystopian movie.

[@AufdemLaufenden777]

Similar what I was thinking. No Mexicans as guests

[@maxhagenauer24]

This is the most commercial commercial for a theme park commercial ever lol.

[@Stockphoto_pirate]

Hol up a Dueling mack supersplash, suspended vekoma family coaster/stc, 2 vekoma family coasters and a Vekoma Launch coaster. Uh thats a few vekomas. But Vekoma is really good so cant blame them

[@parks.atelier]

Vekoma must've made them a pretty good package deal. I could even see the splash being a Vekoma Beat It instead of Mack supersplash... but yeah, they're probably at the top of coaster manufacturing at the moment

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

Dang, a huge project for Vekoma it looks like. What 3-5 coasters from them? Looks like a dope park.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Very impressive 👏 Fingers crossed, that it actually happens.

[@metraking192]

It’s already broken ground. So it’s happening

[@javierestrada9621]

well, they already built most of the coasters.

[@matheuscastello6554]

this is gonna be awesome!!

[@koreyhu2]

Looks like they'll have a few big vekoma rides hopefully (if theyre successful) that entices other parks to buy them aswell

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

i counted like 5? vekoma's... But new gen vekoma is pretty great, they seem to be cheap, reliable and smooth. That is basically all you need for most of your coasters. Though i feel vekoma still lacks some insane coasters. Like intamin with their blitz coasters or mack/RMC with their insane layouts.

[@koreyhu2]

@user-qz2ld3vt2d I agree outside of lech coaster and a few others, they seem like great family thrill coasters. Punchy but not intense enough to be an adults only type thing. Most of them have small height restrictions aswell making them more accessible to different ages

[@johnpatrick7426]

This is gonna flop HARD I fear. They're talking up the rides like they are these unique special attractions, when it all looks like cookie-cutter models we've seen before. I don't know how I feel about a whole theme park operation marketing itself as a "luxury" experience. That already alienates a majority of potential guests

[@parks.atelier]

Yeah... this park looks beautiful and great, but I'm afraid it ends up being like the UAE parks that were built to attract ppl from the US/Europe and end up not getting much attendance even from locals

[@a4fernan61]

I'm definitely going

[@princess_sarina_aria_elysia]

If this actually happens and looks like the concept video I am heading to mexico so fast. Not looking forward to the potential price tag of this "luxury theme park" though!

[@fenderg1988]

I have been there, well to the resort that was like 6 years ago and they where just starting to build this or at least the foundations. The hotel was amazing you basically get driven around in golf carts and there was like 8 plus restraunts 2 golf courses and 2 mins from the beach.

[@LLLLLLLLLucas]

Omg wow!!!!

[@noclosecoasters9903]

Ok, the Arthur clone rumors make a lot more sense now

[@letsroamaround2189]

I hate how its called a luxury theme park, meaning its going to cost so much money to stay/enter probably.

[@bryantoliveira2813]

Potentially not - the US dollar/Euro goes a lot further in Mexico, so it might be more affordable than you think

[@parks.atelier]

@bryantoliveira2813 in a way, it's unfortunate that the potential best park in LatAm would be built only to address the US/European traveler rather than the local population... but yeah, theme parks are business, hope they don't end up like some of the UAE parks

[@raulsanz603]

Currently the park is partially open and the general admission cost is 45 dollars which is not a lot of money compared to other theme parks, also a theme park needs a lot of visitors to be profitable and the park will be located in Mexico where prices are more affordable. My guess is that the concept of luxury is in relation to the amenities that Vidanta will offer in case you stay in one of its hotels (swimming pools, golf course, transportation, etc.) and also the food since we can see in the video that the food shown looks like something you would find on a fancy restaurant rather than the typical fast food that you can find on a regular theme park. Also they are building a Cirque Du Soleil show arena like the one Vidanta has in Cancun which is not only a show but also a fancy meal.

[@seantorres451]

I don't think they realize how much of a turn off "luxury theme park" is. May as well call it BoujieWorld.

[@cayden216]

so excited!!!!

[@puccipower]

With the way Disney is becoming unaffordable, this could be the new destination place for many American families if it’s priced right. I’m really excited.

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Is that’s how you do a promo video, it’s that good it looks like it’s already been built and ready to open

[@JacksonStokes-xo4fb]

Looks cool

[@dreams2reality410]

So, is this near Puerto Vallarta?

[@raulsanz603]

In its “Metro Area” (Nuevo Vallarta). Pretty close to the city’s airport.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Definitely seems more like a family oriented thene park than an amusement park, still a huge thing though.

[@MissBliss818]

What's the difference?

[@maxhagenauer24]

@@MissBliss818 There's a huge difference, theme parks, especially family oriented ones, are more about theming and atmosphere for their attractions and not as much thrill. Amusement parks don't have as many themed rides, or not as themed at least, but more thrilling overall. Like any Six Flags or Cedar Fair park is an amusement park while something like Disney is a theme park.

[@user-qz2ld3vt2d]

They went for a ton of vekoma's but I also really underestimated how many coasters vekoma is manufacturing right now. Looking at the wikipedia page they are constructing over 30 right now...

[@GPK1075]

[@javierestrada9621]

[@AuthenticcKoala]

So has this already been built? I’m confused by the trailer

[@MarianoSanc]

Some images are real... The park is opened for areas rith now is in level 2 I Guess...

[@EmVee.]

Partly

[@MsHardstyleMonster]

Drove past it a few months ago, the Vekoma family invert is already done, they're working on the Mack powered coaster, ferris wheel and other flat rides are already in place and operating by the looks of it, and the hotel is almost done and some parts are already open so im sure its getting built (even with the opposition of locals and activists trying to protect the mangroves that were destroyed to build this)

[@Deadsphere]

Every time a new theme park gets announced, it always has huge hopes and promises but never actually gets done, does it?

[@musiclightss]

It's been under construction for about 2 years now.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

[@Ultimatephaser]

at first i thought there was only going to be 1 or 2 roller coasters, but a new gen vekoma multi launch is the last thing i expected

[@ryanpiotrowski2353]

Hence luxury theme park

[@karstenbursak8083]

If the final park looks only anything near that concept art, Disney and Cedar/Six Flags definetly need to ramp up their game when it comes to theming … they already will get a hard time when Epic Universe opens, but this … in Mexico ? Might be cheaper to go to Mexico than to Florida 😮

[@EmVee.]

Just Cedar Flags tbh, Disney ain't bothered

[@thecoasterauthority]

wait is the last coaster an intamin or a vekoma?

[@Noct31]

[@scataplaft]

Is this that "Cirque du Soleil Park" rumored some years ago? I'm not updated on that. It looks stunning but to be honest I'm not confident it will be actually built. And the stress on "luxury" makes me be very taken aback...

Adventure begins 2026? They may start speedbuilding this thing then.

Construction actually started quite a few years ago. Parts of the resort and a handful of rides are already open. Two of the roller coasters have already been constructed. 2026 for a grand opening is very reasonable.
