Tibidabo Amusement Park (Catalan: Parc d'Atraccions Tibidabo) is an amusement park located on Tibidabo in the Collserola Ridge in Barcelona. The park was built in 1899 by the entrepreneur Salvador Andreu and opened in 1905. The park is among the oldest in the world still functioning. It is Spain's longest running amusement park and Europe's third-oldest. Most of the original rides, some of which date to the turn of the 20th century, are still in use. The park is now owned by the Barcelona City Council. An amusement park on the Tibidabo mountain was first proposed in 1899 by pharmacist Salvador Andreu, who envisioned a funicular, tram line, and amusement rides. Work formally began on the Tranvía Azul and funicular on June 16, 1900, with both being inaugurated by Barcelona cardinal Salvador Casañas y Pagés on October 29, 1901. The first amusement rides however weren't installed until 1905 – mostly smaller attractions such as binoculars, mirrors, automaton displays, and various games. Throughout the next two decades, the fledgling amusement park began to install more major rides, such as the Avió, Ferrocarril Aéreo (now Embruixabruixes), and Talaia, all three of which are still in operation today.
