Team Thriller Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I totally have seen this coming. When I go down to Cozumel to go scubba diving, I hope this park is open. --James
gisco Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I know where they can get some coasters cheap and have only been used for 1 season!
Miltonmx Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Well, it seems that no used rides will be used in this project. The latest news of this new park mentions 3 new and unique coaster rides specially designed for Mayan Adventures: http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/45656/ Elated Worldwide Group Plans to Develop and Build First Amusement Park in Cozumel, Mexico NewswireToday - /newswire/ - San Diego, CA, United States, 01/28/2009 - “Mayan Adventures“, will be built on 60 acres in one of the top tourist destinations in Mexico. The conceptual master plan is currently being developed in two phases, with the initial ground breaking in spring of 2009. The first phase of the project will be a water park attraction, expected to be operational by summer of 2010 and will be the island of Cozumel’s first water park. There are nine various water attractions planned ranging from a children’s pirates play structure and a relaxing man-made beach area, to a thrilling white water rapids inner-tube ride for the true adrenaline fans. With an expected opening of summer 2012, the second phase of “Mayan Adventures” theme park will include one thrill ride, three indoor/outdoor high speed coaster rides, an indoor and an outdoor stage show as well as enriching educational presentations on the Mayan culture. The rides are new and unique, developed specifically for “Mayan Adventures”, incorporating cutting edge technology. Additionally, Elated Worldwide Group will undoubtedly decrease unemployment and generate increased international corporate sponsorship opportunities for the area. Projected attendance of visitors to the park is 1.4 million annually. Henny Watts, Owner/CEO ReMax Cozumel, said: “This is a great opportunity for Cozumel. It helps put Cozumel on the map and allows tourist to see how much of a beautiful jewel Cozumel really is“.

Sounds good this dual project of a water and theme park!
Electerik Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 This is certainly good news for those of us who like cruise ships! It might also be good news for the cruise ships themselves. Because this is about the only way I'm ever going to go on one. /Doesn't go anywhere unless there's a coaster.
the ghost Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 This seems really ambitious, they are making it sound like its going to be Disney/ Universalish. Also, it never said there would be no used rides, parks consider everything to be unique. Scream was said to be "unique" upon opening and ended up being a clone. This seems like a perfect place for Eagles: LITFL. Also, I am doing a cruise with my friend our senior year of college(currently juniors in hs, but have been friends forever) and are looking at doing a Disney Cruise, or doing a Mexico cruise, so, bring on the credits!
Miltonmx Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 New Update and now with artwork... mini-artwork! http://thisiscozumel.com/content/view/776/2/ California-based leisure company, Elated Worldwide, announced a plan for a theme park in Cozumel at the end of last month. Called "Mayan Adventures", the concept is for a Mayan themed attraction on 60 acres (242,811 sqm) of land, with the first phase opening by summer 2010. Elated Worldwide was created last year to raise money, construct and manage the project. The company's directors all come from a military background and are seeking investors to make their dream park idea come true. Bill Fullwood, Elated Worldwide's Executive Director of Operations, told This is Cozumel that they have the support of the Cozumel government but are still to confirm the exact location where it will be built. Nancy Edwards, owner of Cozumel Living real estate on the island, said Elated Worldwide may have a couple of "good prospects" for land south of downtown. The project got off to a bumpy start when it was originally announced at the beginning of January. It was met with sceptism by some on the island due to errors in the press release and a lack of information about the promotors' experience. Elated Worldwide re-announced the news at the end of the month and had planned an investors' conference for last Saturday in the USA too, but this had to be postponed due to logistical reasons for international investors, said Fullwood. He said that in addition to banks and business loans, they need to raise $75 million and have raised approximately $25 million so far. If successful, Fullward said the park could employ 300 locals and that they would seek to minimize its environmental impact. The first phase of the project is a water park with nine attractions ranging from a children's pirates play structure and a relaxing man-made beach area, to a thrilling white water rapids inner-tube ride for the true adrenaline fans. The second phase, expected to open in 2012, includes a thrill ride, three high speed coaster rides, an indoor and an outdoor stage show as well as enriching educational presentations on the Mayan culture. I hope to see more artwork, but a little bigger.
SharkTums Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Whatever happened to the Observation Tower built on Cozumel? We saw it once under construction and once finished, but not open on cruises, and on our most recent visit it was gone! Seems like a pretty decent investment that went bad. Any info on that? Maybe if it's sitting around still this park can pick it up cheap!

We saw it once under construction and once finished, but not open on cruises, and on our most recent visit it was gone! Seems like a pretty decent investment that went bad. Any info on that? Maybe if it's sitting around still this park can pick it up cheap! I´ve heard that the observation tower that you mention, is the one that is operating at Cancun. At the moment there´s no info. that mentions used rides for this proyect, but maybe they can purchase any if they consider so.
Miltonmx Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 New Artwork!!! Check the new illustrations of Mayan Adventure! Source: http://www.parquestematicos.org/noticias/2009/ver-noticia.asp?id=120 The image at the left side shows a diving coaster, but the track looks like a Vekoma or S&S-Arrow. Maybe that´s a new prototype. I´m curious about this drawings!
jedimaster1227 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 The image on the left is a piece of promotional art from Sheikra at Busch Gardens Africa... The coaster track itself (while depicted differently) is by B&M and the trains (while depicted differently) are 8 wide.
Miltonmx Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 You´re right jedimaster1227, that´s an artwork of Sheikra. That´s why I send them an e- mail to check why they used this artwork for the note, and the answer is this link: http://www.elatedww.com/crimson_002.htm I don´t know if they do this to atract investors, or a B&M Diving coaster is proyected for the park. If this second option is true, maybe this could become the first B&M coaster for Mexico. Let´s wait for more information.
Miltonmx Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 A new artwork shows a new visual concept of the water rides. Saludos Amigos! Milton
robbalvey Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I will actually be very happy if this project works out. I can't tell you how many times we've been to Cozumel now and this would be a reason to book another cruise! --Robb
ajinaz Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I will actually be very happy if this project works out. I can't tell you how many times we've been to Cozumel now and this would be a reason to book another cruise! --Robb Perhaps the first TPR cruise Robb? A bit off topic. The last time that I was in Cozumel I went ATVing back in the jungle. We went down this dirt road and there was an abandoned water park just sitting in the middle of the jungle. Nothing else around just some slides and a pool overgrown with weeds. Does anyone know what the story is with this place? It was sort of near the Mayan caves.
Miltonmx Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 It seems that the new park will move to the west coast. The newer announcement claims that the Mayan Adventure park will move to "Los Cabos". Here is the official announcement at the EWG Group site. http://thisiscozumel.com/content/view/883/2/ A Maya theme park project planned for Cozumel will not go ahead on the island, but in Los Cabos, on the other side of Mexico, instead. Thomas Ford, CEO of park developers, Elated Worldwide, told This is Cozumel he was "disappointed" the park wouldn't be built in Cozumel, in an exclusive interview last week. Called "Mayan Adventures", Elated Worldwide announced the 60 acre attraction in January and has been trying to secure funding since. Ford said that Cozumel was a beautiful place, but he hadn't been able to find investors willing to finance the project on the island. He said that the project's American investors had wanted Mexican investors involved, but the Mexican investors would only invest in the concept if it was built in Los Cabos. Ford couldn't give specific reasons why investors preferred Los Cabos but said they would have a good market there, even though the land was slightly more expensive. Let´s see if this proyect can be completed.

gisco Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Never happen. With the world ending in 2012 , they are a little late opening in 2013. Seriously, this is not a sure thing. They are fishing for investors with this announcement. Not a lot of detail, just a few sketches. I would be surprised if they find money in this economy.
Gigalyte Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 What kind of ride is that pictured above where it looks like people are swinging from a poll with a rope attached to their legs
themeparkologist Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 is a show and the ropes are tied around their ankles. Saw one just like it at Xcaret near Cancun.
