One thing about visiting Barcelona is that you can never miss something to do or a place to enjoy.
You might opt to stroll around the city or find a raised vantage point to take in the wildest views of the Catalan capital and its picturesque appeal.
Well, you might get a chance to see this and more when you visit the Tibidabo Amusement Park, which is looking to install a 52-meter tall ride named ‘Merlí’ that will offer unbeatable 360º views of Barcelona.
Tibidabo is an amusement park located on Tibidabo in the Collserola Ridge in Barcelona. Built in 1899 by the entrepreneur Salvador Andreu and opened in 1905, it is among the oldest in the world still functioning and Spain’s longest-running amusement park.
Most of the original rides, some of which date back to the turn of the 20th century, are still in use, and the new addition will also be something to marvel at.
By the end of May, the new freefall drop tower dubbed Merlí will begin to operate. Even though the completion is set for the end of May, visitors can already see the new feature in the Barcelona skyline, as the assembly of the structure is already completed.
Visitors will get a chance to experience unparalleled 360º views of Barcelona before experiencing the exhilarating drop, as the ride will have a height of 52 meters and will have the capability to lift visitors 500 meters above sea level.
The new drop tower will be one of Tibidabo’s main attractions this year and a perfect addition to the plenty of new features the amusement park has adopted since its new season opening on March 2.

Some of the other notable new features include CreaTibi by Lego Education Space, which offers children an opportunity to experiment with robotics and science.
With Merlí coming into place, thrill-seekers with a penchant for adrenaline rushes will have a chance to experience it first-hand at the park.
Along with other attractions, everyone is eagerly awaiting its debut, as they will get a chance for an adrenaline rush and a view of the city all in one go!
Barcelona never disappoints when it comes to offering exhilarating experiences, and the addition of Merlí to the iconic Tibidabo Amusement Park promises to be a towering thrill that will leave visitors breathless and captivated by the city’s beauty.
