The first of several new Katmandu Parks planned around the globe,
Katmandu Park Punta Cana is brought to life through immersive storytelling experiences, including four marquee attractions: Voyage of the Fathom Wanderer, a first-ever Suspended Theatre attraction where riders soar through an epic adventure; Legend of the Desirata, a thrilling 4D Dark Ride that tells the Katmandu origin story; Challenge of the Mad Mage, an ON!X Theater attraction that reimagines the traditional 4D interactive theatre with an impressive array of features seamlessly blended with advanced technology; and EtherQuest, an action-packed interactive walk-through attraction where guests are the main characters of their own adventure.
Additional attractions at the park include: Expedition Golf, a 36-hole mini golf course charting over mountains and inside caves; High Point Adventure, an outdoor ropes course experience; The Quadagon, featuring four unique indoor climbing courses for both adults and kids; and the centrepiece of the park’s plaza, the Wheel of Infinite Wonder, a Katmandu-themed carousel with custom figures inspired by creatures and characters from The Hidden Realms. The park offers several themed food and beverage venues, carnival-style games, retail shops and an arcade.
Guests of Katmandu Park Punta Cana will receive a smart wristband that carries their attraction passes, enables cashless payments and grants them their own unique and virtual identity with BeyondME, a free-to-use fan loyalty and online game platform for all ages. Through it, guests can customise their own BeyondME persona, personalise their avatar, earn and spend experience points as virtual currency called XP, and level up their status for additional benefits. In addition to the real-life experiences inside the park, BeyondME connects to various digital experiences, such as mobile games, Roblox and online shopping, to further earn and redeem XP.
Katmandu Parks will be connected to premier resort destinations, providing consumers a unique ‘resortainment’ hospitality experience that seamlessly blends extraordinary entertainment experiences with premium resort amenities. The first of these new resorts, Falcon’s Resort by Meliá All Suites Punta Cana, is located just steps away from the park.
Following Punta Cana, Falcon’s is expected to expand Katmandu Park to locations across the globe, including: Tenerife, Canary Islands, and Mexico.
