Puy du Fou breaks ground on first Spanish park
BY Luke Cloherty
Historical theme park Puy du Fou’s first Spanish outlet has begun construction in Toledo, ahead of its scheduled opening date of 30 August 2019.
Puy du Fou en Toledo will host a show on its opening night, called the Great Night Show. In a statement CEO of Puy du Fou Spain, Erwan de Villeon, said the show will centre on "energy and creativity" and use the knowledge of specialists in art and archaeology in Toledo and elsewhere in Spain.
The show will mark the completion of the park’s first phase and promises to incorporate elements of Spanish culture – as suggested in images released by the park.
Throughout Q1 2019, Puy du Fou will begin its hunt for actors and will begin a second wave of searching in Q2, culminating in June.
Puy du Fou’s park in France is the country’s second most popular after Disneyland Paris, bringing in more than 2 million visitors per annum.
In 2017, the park’s founder Philippe de Villiers was inducted into the prestigious IAAPA Hall of Fame.
