Walibi Investing 100 Million Euros in Redesign of Belgian Park

 

On the occasion of the first anniversary of PULSAR, Walibi raises a corner of the veil on its very ambitious plan of transformations, unequaled in Belgium. More than 100 million euros will be invested in the Wavrian park, starting next year. The aim is to reconfigure the site, turning it into the model for Belgian amusement parks targeting all ages.

Walibi Belgium will not only add new attractions every year, but will also re-theme each area of ​​the park. At the end of this process, 75% of the park will be changed.

2018 will see the installation of a new family coaster, located near the Challenge of Tutankhamon and the creation of a new exotic look to the area at ​​the bottom of the park. Aqualibi will also be transformed, with the creation of a 700 square meter aquatic playground for younger children, especially children who do not know how to swim. This expansion will allow Aqualibi to reach an area of ​​7000 square meters, completely immersed in a tropical atmosphere.

In 2019, three other areas will undergo a thematic transformation; Visitors will gradually explore the different worlds created in Walibi, while discovering innovations: an interactive indoor family attraction, a children’s coaster, and a large conceptual restaurant.
