This Sunday, 22 June, Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo will host a special programme to mark the 10th anniversary of its mascots: Ti, Bi, Da and Bo
The park will also launch its summer season on the same day, expanding the Festival of Emotions line-up and introducing updates to the Merlí attraction, including a new ascent format and separate ticket
Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its mascots – Ti, Bi, Da and Bo – this Sunday, 22 June. The occasion will include a party for TibiClub members and the première of a new show starring the mascots.
To celebrate the anniversary, and for one time only, the park will open an hour earlier than usual, at 10 am, exclusively for TibiClub members. Ti, Bi, Da and Bo will be there to welcome members at this time, who will be able to take photos with them. At 10.45 am, the Plaça dels Somnis will host the première of the park’s new show, and once the performance has ended, all attendees will be able to enjoy refreshments and take a family photo with the mascots.
Shortly afterwards, at 11 am, the park will open to other visitors, who will also be able to take family photos with the mascots on the veranda at the Plaça dels Somnis.
The new mascot show will be available to all visitors from 24 June.
Ti, Bi, Da and Bo – the four mascots of Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo
Tibidabo’s mascots are a group of four animals created in 2015 through an open call for ideas. They were selected as the winning entry from more than 60 submissions by a jury made up of members, children and representatives of Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo, Barcelona City Council and UNICEF, along with renowned artists.
The mascots are four animals who were born in Collserola and chose to settle at Tibidabo. Although they are four very different species, they get along extremely well and are always ready to help one another.
Ti, the yellow one, is an oriole – a species of bird. He’s known for being mischievous and loves playing pranks on children. Bi, the green one, is a salamander. She’s known for her passion for reading and learning. Da, the orange one, is a cheerful, outgoing and adventurous fox. And Bo, the blue one, is a rather clumsy and greedy wild boar.
All four are also close friends of UNICEF, with whom Tibidabo has been collaborating since 2012. Thanks to this long-standing partnership, Ti, Bi, Da and Bo also champion children’s rights, representing values such as participation, the right to education, the right to play and the right to development.
The Festival of Emotions expands its line-up with circus, clowns, music and dance
This Sunday, Tibidabo will also launch its summer season. Over the next two months, new shows will be offered as part of the Festival of Emotions, the evening programme that closes the park each day.
On Sunday at 7.30 pm, the Plaça dels Somnis will host the circus and acrobatics show “Silvia&Guga”, with a new performance every weekend. The line-up will include touring shows, clowns, music and dance. Full details can be found on the Tibidabo website: www.tibidabo.cat.
The park’s much-loved puppet theatre, The Marionetarium, is also presenting its summer show: “Cabrioles de fil”. Inspired by the circus, this new performance will, for the first time, feature up to nine puppets on stage at the same time.
From 25 June, the park will also begin its summer schedule, opening from Wednesday to Sunday with extended hours. In July, it will open from 11 am to 10 pm at weekends, and throughout August, it will close at 10 pm on all open days.
Merlí free-fall ride now with panoramic ascent and a separate ticket
Another major new feature of Tibidabo’s summer season is the introduction of a new way to enjoy Merlí, the free-fall ride launched last summer.
Starting this weekend, the ride will include a spiral ascent, offering panoramic views of Barcelona on the way up. At the top, the 360-degree rotation will remain before the free fall.
Tibidabo is also launching a new dedicated ticket exclusively for Merlí. This new ticket will cost €10 and will allow access to the free-fall ride on any day the park is open.
