Chueca highlighted that, once the transaction has been completed, the new owners will receive the park’s keys and be able to begin the improvement works. The mayor acknowledged that the delay in awarding the site “should not have occurred,” but said the situation that had left the complex’s future uncertain had now been resolved.
Another aspect she highlighted was the retention of a large part of the workforce. She explained that more than 60 employees will be taken on by Fénix Entertainment, meaning the layoffs will affect only management positions linked to the previous phase. “It was one of the important issues to ensure these people did not lose their jobs,” she said.
REOPENING PLANNED FOR MARCH 5
The schedule being considered by Zaragoza City Council now envisages the amusement park reopening its doors on March 5, 2027. Chueca specified that, in an initial phase, the site will resume operations in its current configuration, without waiting for the future project’s planned new features to be implemented.
At the same time, the new owners will have to submit the new project for the complex to the city council and carry out the committed investments. In this way, the reopening will allow the park to resume operations while its renovation is underway.
