History

Areas and Attractions

The park will feature two Hot Wheels-themed roller coaster rides, called Bone Shaker and Twin Mill Racer.[4] Bone Shaker will reach a maximum height of eighty four feet.

Other attractions include a 4D theater attraction and accompanying fully-themed beach house based on Barbie, a complex featuring several kiddie rides themed to Thomas and Friends, including a train ride aboard Thomas the Tank Engine, and a miniature golf course with props based on classic Mattel games like Uno and Pictionary.[5][6]

Roughly twenty other attractions are yet to be unveiled.[7]

Location

Mattel Adventure Park will be located just south of State Farm Stadium, home to the Arizona Cardinals, at the new VAI entertainment resort (formerly called Crystal Lagoons Island Resort), which will span sixty acres and cost one billion dollars total.[8] The concept for the theme park was developed in coordination with the resort's plan for expansion, whose opening will coincide with the opening of the park in 2024.
