The theme park idea has been kicking around for years at this point and although the initial vision for the park was first unveiled in 2015, there are no concrete plans to move forward with the project at this point.

“Our illustrious entertainment collaborators are following in the steps of Paramount, Disney, and Sony in creating an entertainment venue based upon popular movie themes,” said Mark Stuart, CEO of Aztlan Development in a previous statement. In addition, the first phase of the site’s construction would provide sets, sound stages, and other set designs for the upcoming film Montezuma Rising – Return to Aztlan, which provided inspiration for the design of the theme site itself. Per the proposal, visitors would be able to take a glass elevator to an observation deck providing views across the Coachella Valley before going down one of the pyramid’s many water slides.
The site’s centerpiece was envisioned as a a 200-foot-tall pyramid modeled after Templo Mayor, the famed lost temple in the former Mexican capital city of Tenochtitlan. Named “Return to Aztlán,” the proposed 48-acre theme park was slated to include a concert plaza with a 10,000-person capacity, a beach amphitheater, and a 16-screen movie theatre in the shape of a Mayan temple. Several years ago, Aztlán Development, a group based in Palm Springs made up of architects and developers specializing in theme parks, unveiled plans for a new one inspired by the Mesoamerican empires of the Aztecs and Toltecs in between California’s Indio and Coachella.
