Key Points
  • Tivoli World closed in 2020 due to financial issues and the pandemic, remaining abandoned for five years.
  • An agreement between local government and Grupo Tremón aims to reopen it as a tourist hub by 2028 with new attractions.

The theme park Tivoli World in Benalmádena, Spain, has been abandoned for the last five years after its closure in 2020, according to multiple reports. Tivoli World is currently undergoing a transformation and is expected to reopen in 2028, with the shutdown due to financial difficulties and the COVID-19 pandemic. Benalmádena’s local government and the park’s owner, Grupo Tremón, reached an agreement last year to transform Tivoli World into a top tourist and commercial destination.

The new park will feature a huge wheel, a free-fall tower, and a new commercial area with restaurants, shops, and hotels. The reopening of Tivoli World is expected to create around 1,000 jobs, and the park was originally founded in 1972 by Danish entrepreneur Bernt Olsen.
