Walibi attraction Blast in trouble again: closed until further notice
At the start of the 2023 season, Blast was not the only ride out of action: Zenko's Graffiti Shuttle, later Walibi's Shuttle, was also unavailable because of a technical issue. Walibi Play Land temporarily lost one of its family rides.
More context
Shortly after Walibi Holland reopened for the 2023 season, Looopings reported another round of technical issues at the park. Most of the article focused on Blast, but it also carried important news for families visiting Walibi Play Land: Zenko's Graffiti Shuttle, the ride later renamed Walibi's Shuttle, was also unavailable because of a technical problem.
For guests, that meant the children's area temporarily lost one of its small rides. Play Land is built around accessible attractions for younger visitors, so the closure mattered especially to families who were not visiting for the major thrill rides. The timing made it more noticeable: Walibi had reopened on Friday 7 April after the winter break, yet not every attraction was ready to operate normally.
In the attraction's history, the report captures Walibi's Shuttle before its later name change and retheme. At the time it still carried the old mascot-based name Zenko's Graffiti Shuttle, during the years when Play Land had not yet received the broader refresh that would follow later.
