Ride experience in Kater Carlos Weltreise
Kater Carlos Weltreise invites children to enjoy a ride on a carousel in a brightly decorated travel-themed world. The ride is a sports carousel. For young passengers, the experience begins with choosing a suitable seat. The ride repeatedly passes the same landmarks, making it easy to recognise the adults waiting nearby. Look at the vehicles with your child and ask if you are unsure which seating position is suitable. The carousel complements the major thrill rides with an attraction for younger visitors.

Operator
Thomas Schneider operates this attraction on the fairground circuit. When searching for dates, it helps to combine the name of the ride with the operator: similarly named rides may have a different design and history. You can find confirmed appearances in the funfair dates.
Tips for your visit
Before the ride starts, agree with the child which side you will wait on. Ask at the carousel whether an accompanying adult can ride and which seats are suitable. Fares and conditions of participation are set or displayed at each appearance. Before buying a ticket, ask about minimum height, age and whether an accompanying adult is required. Follow the staff's instructions when boarding and store loose items as directed by the team.
