Mexico plans big theme park on Caribbean coast

Developers in Mexico have announced plans for an $840 million theme park on the country's Caribbean coast just north of the resort city of Playa del Carmen.

The park will be named "Amikoo," the Mayan pronunciation of "amigo," or friend.

Rides will include the "Pirates of Bacalar," referring to a coastal lagoon to the south where pirates once lurked.
