Guests follow in the heroes' footsteps through overgrown jungle, search for the precious stone, the Jaguar's Eye, and lift the curse. At the end of the route, the 16-meter Jaguar Shrine awaits them (as of 09/2026, official park website). The main roller coaster climbs to its top, and the tower is visible from almost anywhere in the park.
World of Jumanji attractions
The area has three attractions (as of 09/2026, park website).

It is the world's first roller coaster based on the Jumanji franchise. The cars go through inversions and turn you upside down. The track weighs about 144 tons (as of 09/2026, attraction description). The route is built around the Jaguar Shrine: the train dodges jungle obstacles, spirals, and climbs to the very top of the tower.
The other two attractions are also based on the movies. On Mamba Strike, you dodge the fangs of a black mamba as you go up and down. On Ostrich Stampede, guests drive a herd of ostriches across sand dunes.
Attraction | What happens |
|---|---|
Mandrill Mayhem | Roller coaster with inversions around the Jaguar Shrine |
Mamba Strike | Climbs and drops over the mamba's "fangs" |
Ostrich Stampede | Family chase after a herd of ostriches |
Hotel and park tickets
The park has two hotels, Azteca Hotel and Safari Hotel (as of 09/2026, official park website). Some guests stay overnight in a Jumanji-themed room. Summer dates and school holidays should be booked in advance, because rooms are scarce during those weeks.
A ticket at the gate costs more than a ticket bought online in advance (as of 09/2026, official park website). The park is closed on some days of the season, so before your trip, open the calendar and pick a day. Comfortable shoes and time for queues will come in handy.
