Walibi

Walibi is a European brand of amusement parks used by several parks in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. The name Walibi is a coined brand, and the exact origin of the term is not clearly documented. Parks carrying the Walibi name typically emphasize thrill rides, roller coasters, and family attractions, and they often host seasonal events such as Halloween celebrations and summer festivals.

Active and historical sites

Walibi Belgium, located in Wavre near Brussels, is the best-known park in the Walibi network. It has long offered a mix of major roller coasters and family rides and serves as a flagship site for the brand in the region.

Walibi Holland, located in Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands, is another long-running Walibi park. It has experienced branding changes over the years and is known for a variety of thrill attractions as well as family-oriented areas.

Historically, there was also a Walibi-branded park in France, Walibi Rhône-Alpes, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It operated under the Walibi name for a period before being closed or rebranded, with the site later repurposed for other attractions.

Ownership and branding

Over the years, the Walibi brand has undergone various ownership and branding changes. Some parks have remained under the Walibi name, while others have been rebranded or integrated into different park groups. Across the network, Walibi parks are characterized by a focus on mid- to high-intensity rides, themed areas, and events designed to attract visitors throughout the year.
