FESTIVAL WORLD 2028-2030

WALIBI BELGIUM

Skills: Art direction - Storytelling - Design and Concept Art 

​

The Festival World project, scheduled to roll out between 2028 and 2030 at Walibi Belgium, extends the creative momentum initiated in 2020 with the Festival City zone at Walibi Rhône-Alpes. My work in theme park scenography focused on creating a fluid and cohesive environment where narrative design naturally guides the guest journey.

The technical heart of the zone relies on transforming the park's historic wooden coaster into a modern hybrid structure, engineered by the American manufacturer Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC). Towering at 49 meters high with a 1,231-meter track, this ride directly interacts with the public space. The design of the station and the strategic sightlines were meticulously planned to integrate this mechanical power into the ground landscape in an aesthetic and dynamic way.

Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of New Orleans, the master plan is organized into two distinct sectors: a "Nature" area evoking bayou landscapes, and a "City" area inspired by the French Quarter. Developed alongside the Compagnie des Alpes teams, this land balances technical and operational constraints to deliver a sustainable and memorable entertainment space for all audiences.
