Vidanta's "The Parks" Coming Soon to Nuevo Vallarta!

 Here is what we have learned from reading company press releases, the Vidanta Traveler magazine, sites like themeparx.com, aimfair.com as well as from our visits to the resorts. 

The new 830-acre theme park resort project in Nuevo Vallarta that Vidanta now calls “The Parks” has been in the works for several years.  During that time there has been much speculation about its design as Vidanta had kept the details very “close to the vest”.  Initially Vidanta had alluded to it being similar in many respects to Walt Disney World Resort but that the park would have an overall Cirque du Soleil theme and would be filled with many immersive experiences for its visitors.  

 The Parks will undoubtedly have many things in common with parks like Walt Disney World Resort, namely, it would offer multiple “in-park” resort hotels, many exciting amusement park rides, a variety of dining and entertainment options, and some familiar Disneyesque ticket add-ons like early admission and “fast pass” options.  And since Vidanta says they now have Disney’s former master planner, Wing Chao, working on The Parks design, it will surely take on many of the best design features of Disney, but it sounds like we should expect a whole lot more.  Vidanta’s stated vision for The Parks has consistently gone well beyond what one would consider the classic Disney experience. The sheer size of the project alone now sets it apart – over 830 acres! The descriptors that keep popping up in the news reports is that the Parks will be filled with “immersive” and “experiential” entertainment, not just the typical thrilling amusement park rides, “all planned, designed, and executed by the most accomplished experts in the field”.  Vidanta says it will be “culture-shifting” and will “fuse luxury with imagination, creating a fantastical world where adventures leap to life."  We can’t wait to see this project unfold!
