Walibi Belgium is continuing its €100 million “Grand Walibi” investment plan that started with the inauguration of Exotic World and its Tiki-Waka funcoaster. The goal: to transform 75% of its surface area by 2023 to strengthen its identity and positioning, and so become the leading player in its region in terms of both visitor numbers and visitor satisfaction.
The first park under the Walibi licence, created in 1975, is internationally renowned for the quality and originality of its attractions, as Dalton Terror (first free-fall tower in Belgium and the highest in the world), or the legendary Psyké Underground, the only fully covered coaster in the world, which catapults passengers 45 metres high, in trains travelling at 85km/h.
With innovation in its DNA, Walibi Belgium has been recognised for its experiential offering: for the fourth consecutive time in 2019 it was named “Best amusement park in Belgium” and “Most sensational park”. It has also won three awards distinguishing the park as the “Best Halloween event”, “Best water attraction” for Splash, and “Best new attraction in Europe” for Tiki-Waka, opened in 2018.
Two new thematic areas and their flagship attractions were opened in 2019. Karma World welcomes Popcorn Revenge, the first indoor interactive attraction in the world made up of seven interactive stages set up randomly, and already « 3rd best new european ride at the European Star Awards. The second area, Fun World, with its Fun Pilot coaster, is designed specifically for children.
Next stage in the investment plan: the arrival in 2021 of a spectacular hyper coaster in a future thematic area covering 4 hectares.
At the same time, Walibi Belgium is continuing its events policy, driven in particular by the Halloween season, established nearly 20 years ago. The park also organised two unprecedented evenings around the Fortnite© game event, giving fans of the phenomenal game the chance to meet and compete with their favourite players.
