Walibi Belgium is a Belgian theme park located in Wavre, close to Brussels. It is one of the largest theme parks in Belgium, attracting 1.45 million visitors in 2018 (including visitors to adjoining water park Aqualibi). The park was originally called Walibi, then Walibi Wavre, and then Six Flags Belgium, until the current name was affixed in 2004. Between 1998 and 2004, the park was owned by Six Flags, Inc until Six Flags sold it to Palamon Capital Partners (which operated the park under its StarParks Group division). Palamon sold the park in 2006 to Compagnie des Alpes, which has owned it since. Walibi Belgium is the first of the Walibi chain of parks, and the Walibi name is a syllabic abbreviation of the three nearby towns in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant, where the park is located: Wavre, Limal and Bierges,
