Walibi, a Theme Park in Wavre, Belgium

Nestled in the heart of the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant, Walibi Belgium stands as a testament to the evolution of amusement parks.

With a rich history dating back to the 1970s and a name that’s a syllabic abbreviation of the towns where it was originally located, this Belgian theme park beckons visitors from all corners of the globe.

It derived the Walibi name from the neighboring towns of Wavre, Limal, and Bierges. The park’s emblem, an endearing wallaby – a close relative of the kangaroo – became its cherished mascot.

The park’s drop tower, Dalton Terror, catapults thrill-seekers to the ground at breakneck speeds, solidifying its place as one of the top attractions.

As expected, the heart-pounding roller coasters run at high speeds and make for a fun day out.

We loved watching Pulsar smash its way into the water.
