The story of Geister Rikscha
Geister Rikscha opened in 1981 as part of Phantasialand's China Town development. Much of the journey was built below the park, giving the attraction its unusual underground setting. de.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net
Schwarzkopf supplied the continuous transport system, while Heimo created the interior scenes. The hundred rotating rickshaws were arranged to keep visitors moving steadily from one scene to the next. de.wikipedia.org· solars.de
The attraction was not left untouched by time. Its waiting area and several scenes were renewed in 1997 and 2002, with individual scenes replaced and the original onboard sound system superseded. de.wikipedia.org
Geister Rikscha continues to operate at Phantasialand, where its steady procession of small vehicles remains one of the park's enduring dark rides. coasterpedia.net· static.phlcdn.de
