Belgium amusement parks report disappointing summer due to heat and economic problems. Intense heatwaves kept potential visitors at home, affecting park attendance numbers significantly.
Bellewaerde Park noted temperatures reaching thirty-six degrees discouraged outdoor activities substantially.
Plopsa spokesperson stated parks were prepared to ensure guests' and staffs' comfort. Water parks received increased interest as visitors sought cooling attractions during hot days.
Economic challenges and inflation caused visitors to spend less inside the parks. Upcoming fall season focuses on Halloween events, complicating operations due school vacation changes.
