Mattel theme park to have Barbie house, Hot Wheels coaster and more

Arizona is experiencing record heat, but something cool is on the way.

The Mattel Adventure Park is scheduled to open next year with both outdoor and indoor — complete with air conditioning — attractions.

“Mattel Adventure Park features a unique and strategic year-round indoor and outdoor design providing acres of air-conditioned space to ensure a cool guest experience all summer long here in the heat of Arizona,” Mark Cornell, president at Epic Resort Destinations, said in a statement. “Our attractions development team are simply redefining the entertainment channel by bringing Mattel’s powerhouse, evergreen brands to life like never before.”

Among the attractions will be a life-size Barbie Beach House — which includes a Dream Closet experience, Barbie holograms, and a rooftop bar and restaurant — and two Hot Wheels-themed roller coasters.

The Hot Wheels Twin Mill Racer, meanwhile, “promises to take guests through a double loop and two corkscrews.”

“All the queues for the rides are indoors,” he says. “This is a park that is perfectly set up for our climate. No concerns about the summer heat. On the contrary, it will be a wonderful escape from the heat for the families, especially in the summer.”
