Written by It is the same old song.
The grand opening of Mattel’s new theme park resort, currently under construction in Glendale Arizona, has been pushed back yet again. The last we heard, Mattel Adventure Park would open in the latter half of 2024 with a “soft opening” but now that is no longer the case.
A spokesperson for the project has released the following statement that they are still under construction:
"VAI Resort has greatly expanded its initial vision for the Glendale property. These vast expansions impact hospitality, dining, and other entertainment offerings and remain under construction. Mattel Adventure Park is a key anchor tenant of the resort. To ensure the best experience for our guests, Mattel Adventure Park will open in 2025 as part of VAI Resort’s phase one opening."
Originally slated to open the first quarter of 2023, many Masters of the Universe fans were looking forward to trying out the “He-Man Versus Skeletor Laser Tag” in a giant 4,500 square foot Castle Grayskull.
Unfortunately the park surrounding the jaw bridge wasn’t nearly as ready as they hoped, seemingly due to expansions of their original plans.
So when will fans finally be able to enter the iconic Castle Grayskull at Mattel Adventure Park in Glendale, Arizona? We will have to continue to wait… and see.
We’ll see you next time.
Fingers crossed that it’s not just another pipedream…
If it opens according to the new schedule, it will be two years late.
I forgot about this place.
