The Mattel Adventure Park, an entertainment destination featuring attractions inspired by the toy company’s portfolio of brands, is set to open in Arizona in 2024.

The 9-acre indoor/outdoor amusement park will feature a full-scale Barbie Beach House, Hot Wheels roller coasters, a Masters of the Universe laser tag arena and more. It will be open year-round.

The attractions also include Thomas & Friends: World of Sodor, featuring seven family-friendly experiential attractions and rides, including an indoor play space for younger visitors, and a mini golf experience made up of nine holes inspired by Magic 8 Ball, Pictionary and other Mattel games, as well as a custom climb UNO structure.

The Hot Wheels roller coasters are Hot Wheels Bone Shaker: The Ultimate Ride and the Hot Wheels Twin Mill Racer. The Bone Shaker will climb 84 feet in the air, while the Twin Mill Racer features a double loop and two corkscrews.

The amusement park is a collaboration between Mattel and Epic Resort Destinations, as well as other industry-leading partners in amusement and entertainment.

“Mattel Adventure Park is an amazing opportunity to bring our beloved brands to life,” said Julie Freeland, senior director of global location-based entertainment at Mattel. “Construction is underway and substantial progress has been made on what will give fans of all ages a day of thrills and nostalgia. We’re especially excited for families to experience the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker roller coaster—a dream come true for any Hot Wheels fan.”
