Walibi Belgium, one of the largest theme parks in Belgium, wanted to drive awareness of a new rollercoaster opening that summer. BuboBox proposed a video contest where fans could upload 30-second videos to the Walibi website, telling friends why they wanted to ride the new attraction. This stimulated sharing of the videos on social media. The campaign resulted in over 100 video entries, 45,000 shares on Facebook, and 247,000 unique visitors redirected from Facebook to the Walibi website to view over 1,500 hours of fan videos.
