The disturbances were caused by a relatively small group of visitors, prompting riot police to restore order. The amusement park confirmed that several measures have been introduced in response to the incidents, although it declined to provide specific details. According to Walibi, revealing operational measures could reduce their effectiveness.
Safety
The park says it is working closely with local authorities ahead of the upcoming Halloween Fright Nights events and will continue to closely monitor the situation. While Walibi has not disclosed exactly what steps have been taken, the decision to reduce visitor numbers signals a more controlled approach to managing crowds following last week’s unrest.
Disorder
Local authorities have strongly condemned the incidents that took place during the popular Halloween event. The mayor of the municipality described the behaviour as unacceptable. It was clearly emphasised that such incidents have no place in the community.
Authorities announced that they would evaluate the situation together with Walibi and emergency services. Based on the assessment, additional measures may be needed to ensure future events can take place safely.
