Glendale Mattel Adventure Park announces new Barbie, Masters of the Universe rides and attractions
A Mattel theme park opening in Glendale in 2023 will now include Barbie and Masters of the Universe attractions.
Planned alongside what is expected to be Arizona's largest hotel at 1,200 rooms, VAI Resort in Glendale, the Mattel Adventure Park previously announced it would include a Hot Wheels roller coaster and Thomas the Tank Engine indoor themed park.
The venue on Thursday unveiled additional plans such as a handful of Barbie attractions and other games.

What to expect
The attractions include:
A Barbie Beach House, for guests of all ages.
The Dream Closet Experience, where Barbie "is brought to life" through hologram technology "to help curate the ultimate wardrobe."
The Barbie Rooftop with panoramic views of the park where guests can sip on "signature pink beverages" and eat snacks.
Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots-themed putt-putt.
Life-sized Pictionary game board.
"Larger than life" UNO cards climbing structure "where guests can jump on oversized UNO cards and race to the top."
A 4,500-square-foot laser tag arena inside "Castle Grayskull" from Master of the Universe.
The Mattel park and VAI Resort, previously called Crystal Lagoons, were originally set to open ahead of the 2023 Super Bowl at State Farm Stadium but will now open in spring 2023.
The resort announced an ownership change last month, along with plans to nearly double the number of hotel rooms it planned to initially offer.
Epic Resort Destination President Mark Cornell said he was excited to add more attractions and rides to the development.
"We have spared no expense to bring these iconic brands to life in ways that will delight visitors of all ages for years to come,” said Cornell.
