40,800 people have enjoyed the new freefall attraction since it opened on 27 July
Over 223,000 people visited Tibidabo in the summer, a rise of 8.3% compared to 2023, when the amusement park recorded 205,800 visitors. The park opened on 45 days in July and August, the same number of days as the previous year.
One of the biggest attractions at Tibidabo in the summer was the Merlí. Since it opened on 27 July, some 40,800 people have enjoyed the new freefall ride which lifts fairgoers 500 metres above sea level and offers the finest views of Barcelona before finally starting to drop.
The introduction of the Merlí was the main achievement in a summer when visitors to Tibidabo were able to enjoy other new attractions such as new shows and 4D films at the Marionetarium and the Dididado cinema; the night-time display of lights, colours and music that make up the Laser Show and some new on-site eateries.
The summer also provided a chance for many visitors to discover some of the other rides and attractions that Tibidabo has opened in recent months, such as the new Espai 666 horror experience and the CreaTibi room by Lego Education, an educational activity in collaboration with Abacus Educació to promote science vocations among young children.
Along with these new attractions, the park’s most iconic rides and activities continued to draw families and children. Many of them were able to go on Tibidabo’s historical rides for the first time, such as the Carrusel, the Giradabo and the Avió.
Return of the school year with solidarity days, education and culture
As the school year gets under way again, Tibidabo rounds off its summer season and regains its usual calendar, opening at the weekends. Besides maintaining its usual range of attractions and entertainment, the amusement park will be hosting an intense programme of solidarity days, educational and cultural activities in September.
The park will be hosting the solidarity festival Uncopdemà this weekend, organised by the Fundació Migranodearena in aid of children in vulnerable situations, and Posa’t la Gorra, the Afanoc day to support children and teenagers with cancer.
Tibidabo and the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau will also be organising a day on 21 September to promote research with a gender perspective and to foster science vocations, while on Saturday 28 the amusement park will be welcoming over 500 people to take part in the dance for the Jornada Casa de la Sardana.
