Geister Rikscha
Geister Rikscha is the ghost train in China Town. Since 1981 you've been able to ride underground here in rickshaw-style carts. According to the park, it's the longest underground ghost train in Europe.
The concept
You ride past figures and scenes from Chinese mythology: ghosts, demons and dragons. The sets are colourful and atmospheric, with dark corridors and surprising effects. The queue is largely dark too, so the atmosphere starts before you even board.
The Experience
The ride is gentle and lasts a few minutes. It's more atmospheric than genuinely scary, with lots of detail to look at. Each car seats three people side by side, so a small family can sit together. You board via a moving walkway while the cars keep moving, so keep a close eye on the little ones.

Mildly spooky
The ride is gentle and designed for the whole family. The park does warn that young children may be frightened by some of the figures.
A classic
Geister Rikscha has been running since 1981 and is one of the park's oldest attractions.
Good in bad weather
The ride is indoors and underground. A good choice when it's raining or cold.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height. Children under 1.30 metres must be accompanied; from 1.30 metres you can ride alone. Because of the moving walkway at boarding, the attraction is tricky for anyone with limited mobility or poor eyesight. Geister Rikscha is open all year round.
Atmospheric classic
Geister Rikscha is a piece of park history. Combine the ride with Feng Ju Palace, also in China Town. For a bite to eat, head to Restaurant Mandschu, the Asia Food Market or China Snack.
