VidantaWorld Construction and Operations Update – February 2026

This is our latest progress update for VidantaWorld in Nuevo Vallarta. Below is a clear summary of what is currently open, what is paused, and what developments have taken place since our previous report.

There have been significant changes since our last update. At this stage, progress reflects one major step forward alongside temporary setbacks in other areas.

The One Major Step Forward

The most exciting development is that the Ludo version of Cirque du Soleil has been open since December.

Allen and Nina attended recently and report that the show is awe inspiring. The theater itself is a spectacular, permanent circus style arena that is both beautiful and comfortable. This venue is a major milestone for the overall project.

Guests have the option of adding a meal as part of the experience. However, it is extremely important not to be late. The timing of the show is critical, and arriving late may result in missing part or all of the meal component.

The successful opening of this theater represents real, tangible progress.

Current Status of Rides and Attractions

At this time, none of the rides or mechanical attractions are operating.

Work on expanding and running the park has paused while resources were redirected toward completing the Cirque du Soleil theater. Based on past development patterns, we expect future phases to resume, but no timeline has been announced.

For clarity, here is the current operating status:

• Cirque du Soleil theater is open
• Restaurants in the area are operating
• SkyDream gondola system is operating
• Rides and attractions are currently not operating

We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as additional phases move forward.

Background and Vision

VidantaWorld has been under development for several years. The vision combines Mexican cultural themes with modern technology and creative design. Since our 2024 review, additional exterior construction was completed before efforts shifted toward opening the Cirque theater.

In the overview view of the park, the castle like structures in the background are the Kingdom of the Sun suites. These units are now complete and available for rental. The residential components of the project are operational, even though the rides are not.

Getting to the Park

Access to the park area is provided by the SkyDream Gondola.

This gondola system runs from the beach area to the park and includes stops near the Santuario, Building 5, and the main park zone on the resort side of the highway. There is also a stop across the highway where development has not yet taken shape.

Only a limited number of membership contracts include complimentary gondola access. For others, access may be available through Cirque du Soleil ticket packages.  It is not possible to buy access separately until the rides reopen

Featured Attractions Under Construction

SkyWheel

The SkyWheel is completed and  rises above the park area and provides panoramic views of the Ameca River valley. It remains one of the most visible symbols of progress. At night it can be seen from the highway as a landmark structure.

 

Flower Drop

The Flower Drop attraction is designed to lift riders to the top of a tower before gently releasing them in a controlled drop experience. The tower is visually striking with dynamic lighting and color displays.

Roller Coaster

The yellow track structure visible within the park appears to represent the first roller coaster planned for Phase One. Although not yet operational, the layout is clearly identifiable.

Latest Residential Developments

We are now renting units inside the Kingdom of the Sun building at VidantaWorld. This castle style structure is visible when driving into Nuevo Vallarta.

These units include studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom options. The building is brand new and includes access to pool areas within the broader Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta resort.  They will be prime real estate when the park reopens.

Sustainability and Long Term Vision

VidantaWorld has stated a commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. Plans include eco conscious infrastructure, energy efficiency initiatives, and sustainable tourism practices aligned with modern standards.

Future expansion plans remain substantial, though no formal timeline has been publicly confirmed.

Summary

As of February 2026, progress reflects both meaningful advancement and temporary pauses in ride operations. The successful opening of the Cirque du Soleil theater represents the most significant completed milestone to date.

While Phase One remains partially active, additional development phases are expected in the future. We will continue to provide updates as conditions change.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the new Cirque performance and the myriad of activities on Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta.  we continue to offer luxury rentals across the Vidanta resort, including Grand Mayan, Grand Luxxe, Loft, Spa Tower residences, and extreme luxury estates  in exclusive locations.
