Development

On November 12, 2014, Cirque du Soleil, Grupo Vidanta and Legacy Entertainment announced plans for a theme park in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The plans call for at least two lands, the Village of the Sun and the Village of the Moon, as well as an outdoor evening show accommodating as many as 3,000 to 5,000 spectators, and will include a water park and nature park elements.[1][2][3] Construction began in September 2015. On November 30, 2015, Goddard Group released concept drawings for a previously unannounced water park.[4]

In April 2021, the operator announced that the resort will consist of a fantasy-themed park, a water park, a nature park, all connected to the Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta resort hotel and the beach by an aerial lift.[1]

The park was initially anticipated to open in 2018, but has been delayed until 2023.[5][4]
