Vidanta World (Cirque du Soleil Theme Park)

I am told that all of the rides and attractions are (were) built offsite and will be transported to Vallarta for assembly. If this is so, that should allow for some relatively quick progress. But, with Vidanta, who knows.

Actually, that’s an old photo. I live in Puerto Vallarta and the buildings are almost finished. There are big lakes in both sides of the avenue and a lot of vegetation, too. They are probably just waiting for the materials to start with the rest of the park. But it still seems like a lot of work to do.

New satellite imagery from July 8, 2018 shows that all the land has been cleared and construction vehicles are on site but little to no progress is being made...

I saw recently that Cirque du Soleil announced a new concept called Creactive, an immersive training/entertainment venue. It will be built in Canada first and then expanded around the world. For many years, Vidanta has been touting a Cirque du Soleil academy that will be built either as part of the theme park in Nuevo Vallarta and/or the Joya show in Riviera Maya. Hopefully, with the opening of the park, we will also get a Creactive academy.

Just got back from Vidanta in Riviera Maya. They are telling everyone that in Nov 2019, there will be a preview of the "The Park" for members only. In December 2019, "The Park" will be open to the general public.

Apparently there was an interview last night, according to a Vidanta tweet and post (Facebook) with Ivan Chavez and Daniel Lamarre on Forotv. Perhaps I am misreading the tweet and the interview will be tonight. If anyone can locate the interview and post a link that would be fantastic. I would imagine there will be some news about the park and collaboration between the two companies.

Daniel Lamarre is in Mexico right now to participate in the Vidanta Forum, which starts tomorrow.

This is part of an interview he gave to a mexican newspaper today (May 15th, 2018)

Cirque du Soleil plans to open a theme park in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit. "We will have a lot of artistic content and animations, screenings, street acts and special shows that people can only see in the park," said Daniel Lamarre, general director of Cirque du Soleil.

The complex will include a water park and another eco-tourism park, where outdoor shows with space for five thousand people will be shown. Each presentation will feature artists from Cirque du Soleil.

The theme park is still going to be themed to Cirque du Soleil and first phase will open in 2020

I just came back from an eight hour sales presentation with Vidanta. I was told the grand opening for the park is next December. I foolishly bought into their lies.
They are madly spinning yarn to sell enough packages to even have the money to get close to completing it. Still pushing it as Cirque du Soleil. Then they want you to sign papers stating they are not affiliated with Cirque du Soleil.

I am told that there will be a big announcement in mid-May where final and updated plans will be released for the Park. Stay tuned!
