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.

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.
