If you played with Barbies, Hot Wheels, or other iconic American toys as a child, then this new amusement park under development in Glendale, Arizona might be for you.

Mattel Adventure Park is scheduled to open later this year and is set to feature:

  • A Thomas the Tank Engine ride
  • Two Hot Wheels roller coasters
  • The Barbie Beach House, featuring a Dream Closet Experience and a rooftop where visitors can have pink drinks
  • A mini-golf course featuring Mattel games like UNO and Pictionary

The first ever Mattel brand park is also appealing to fans of Master of the Universe fans by building a life-size Castle Grayskull. The castle will be a "state-of-the-art" laser tag arena, according to Mattel officials.

"Our unique indoor/outdoor design keeps your family cool and comfortable on even the hottest Arizona day with acres of air-conditioned space for your enjoyment, our stunningly themed party zones set the stage for the ultimate Barbie, Hot Wheels, or Thomas & Friends birthday party experience," reads a statement from the park's website.

The theme park will be part of VAI Resort, which advertises to be the largest resort in Arizona.
