Europa-Park Halloween film gives 4D-Cinema a fresh role
Bellewaerde added Happy Family Next Level 4D to the 4D-Cinema line-up for Halloween 2023. The theatre next to Huracan temporarily hosted a Europa-Park-linked production as part of the park’s wider seasonal programme.

Bellewaerde gave its 4D-Cinema a notable seasonal role in autumn 2023 by screening Happy Family Next Level 4D during the Halloween period. This was not just a random film change: the production came from Mack Animation, the studio closely connected to Europa-Park. By bringing it to Belgium, Bellewaerde temporarily added an attraction film that had already been used at the German resort.
For the 4D-Cinema, the news underlined how flexible the venue is within the park’s attraction line-up. Rather than operating only as a fixed experience, the indoor theatre became part of the Halloween programme, alongside haunted houses, walkthroughs and shows. The story, built around the Happy Family characters and a virtual game world that spirals out of control, also fitted neatly with Bellewaerde’s family-friendly spooky season.
For visitors, the choice made the 4D-Cinema more than a convenient indoor break. It became an extra seasonal stop with a clear reason to return, especially for guests who had seen earlier films in the same theatre. The article also says something about the attraction’s wider role at Bellewaerde: it is a programmable space that can respond quickly to events, licensed films and temporary themes, keeping a modest theatre relevant within a changing park day.
