Kataplum! It is the first amusement park built on the roof of a shopping center in Mexico City with an area of 27 thousand square meters and a custom foundation to support the park. 70% of the attractions are under a large velarium and the rest are outdoors. It has 32 family attractions, three open-air theaters, three restaurants, and souvenir shops. The ¡Kataplum! team will present this innovative amusement park concept, including some of the challenges they faced during its unique construction, such as the use of giant cranes that in turn raised other cranes to more than 60 meters high in order to build the attractions that weigh hundreds of tons. They will also take us into the brain of a suspended roller coaster that travels outside the mall, and much more. ¡Kataplum! represents a mega work of engineering that will fascinate everyone.

Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ is an intimate theatrical experience located in the Riviera Maya. It was Cirque du Soileil's first permanent show outside the United States and the only one in the world to offer an unforgettable dining experience. The show is a fantastic adventure, taking you through the jungle, under the sea, and through the pages of history. Every night, acrobats perform dizzying somersaults and jumps, contortionists bend over impossible, puppeteers bring dinosaurs to life and cockroaches dance; musicians fill the world with live songs and the same stage comes to life to take you on a journey that dazzles the senses. The Cirque du Soleil team will provide us with a unique and exclusive behind-the-scenes view, built exclusively for JOYÀ, on the production and daily preparation of this unique experience that envelops the audience through all the senses.
