History

Johannes A. The park was built where the Meli Heysel amusement park had closed that year. NEO, a large shopping, housing and office scheme, threatened the park's survival. As of 1 January 2026, NEO had no completion date, and temporary contracts kept the park open.

  1. 1986Johannes A. Lorijn, a Dutch businessman, proposes a miniature park on the Heysel site.
  2. June 1988Walibi's directors buy the project.
  3. 1 June 1989Prince Philippe of Belgium opens the park as part of Bruparck.
  4. 1998Thierry Meeùs buys the park back from the new shareholders.
  5. 2010The city decides to close the parks; a petition of 60,000 signatures leads to inclusion in NEO.
Show all
  1. 2013The park is first due to close at the end of 2013; the deadline is later pushed to the end of 2016.
  2. 2019The Trevi Fountain from Rome is added, the park's first Rome monument.
  3. 2021An agreement extends operation until NEO arrives.
