Cirque du Soleil theme park coming to Nuevo Vallarta

Cirque du Soleil will bring its signature style to a new, first-of-its-kind immersive theme park experience in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

Plans for the park, announced this week by Cirque and Mexico’s Grupo Vidanta, are still in development and may include water park and nature park elements and will feature an outdoor evening show accommodating as many as 3,000 to 5,000 spectators. Each experience within the entertainment park will be animated by Cirque du Soleil artists and follow a common storyline.

Construction of the park is expected to be complete in 2018, according to the announcement.
