According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, the Barcelona government has approved plans to pump €15.5 million ($20.8m) into Tibidabo ahead of a proposed privatisation.
As part of the new investment a Ferris Wheel will open at the hilltop amusement park, offering spectacular views out over the Catalan capital. Money will also be used to help reduce debt and increase promotion.
The park was acquired by the Barcelona authorities in 2002 and had been experiencing a steady climb in numbers until 2010 when a fatal ride accident affected year-on-year attendance by around 50%.
