Glendale’s much-anticipated Crystal Lagoons Island Resort broke ground yesterday and also announced a very exciting update: The toy manufacturing company Mattel will open an adventure park next to the resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue a Hot Wheels<\/em>-themed roller coaster, indoor go-karts, and a Thomas & Friends<\/em> indoor theme park, among other attractions, that visitors can look forward to when the 48-acre entertainment district opens later next year ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl LVII\u00a0that Arizona is scheduled to host at State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we previously reported<\/a>, Crystal Lagoons Island Resort will also feature seven islands, each with their own theme, plus retail spaces, Fly and 4-D theaters, venue space, restaurants, a family entertainment center, amusement rides, office space, 600-plus hotel rooms and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mattel Adventure Park will be located on the southwest corner of 95th Avenue and Cardinals Way, near the Loop 101, and south of Westgate Entertainment District, Gila River Arena, and State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A “Hot Wheels” roller coaster and “Thomas & Friends” indoor park are
